We admire that kind of galoot
who criticises a paper for what it
does or does not contain when he
hasn't liberality enough to subscribe
for the journal with which he finds
fault, but sneaks around and Dor
rows or steals the copy of some lib
eral minded man. There are cattle
of that kind in every community
and this place is not exempt.-Hol-

Every West Virginian who wants to
know something about his State, and
every native or denizen should want
such information, should secure a copy
of the reports of the State Geological
Survey, compiled and edited by DIR.
/. g. White, State Geologist 1t is
one of the most valuable, in fact al
most the only compendium from the
study of which a knowledge Of the
vast mineral and other undeveloped
wealth of the State can he obtained.
In addition, it contains much historic
information regarding the develop
ment of natural resources, the CLASH
fication of Goals, the navigability Of
streams, the possibilities Of further
discoveries In oil and natural gas. In
this connection, it is said that the
first use Of oil and natural gas by
white men was in the Kanawha Val
ley, and between the years 1S40l860
oil sold in the Kanawha towns at 33
to 40 cents gallon. 1t is also stated
that the first drilling machinery was
the product Of West Virginians, in
design and fabrication. The Manu-
faeturer acknowledges its obligations
to DR.. White for copy Of the first
volume The second, we understand
will pertain more particularly to coal,

THE KINGSHIP OF CHRIST.
A Christmas Sermon by Rev. NJ. L.
Haines at First PRESBYTERIAN.

Eev. M. l.. Haines delivered a Christmas
sermon on "The Enlarging Kingship of
Christ" at the First Presbyterian Church
last evening. He took for his text the
sixth verse of the ninth chapter of Isaiah,
Unto us a child is born, and the govern
ment shall be upon his shoulders; of the
increase of government there shall be no
end" In part Or. Quayle said: "All
around the world this Sabbath day in
churches and cathedrals and all around
the world on the morrow, in homes, from
huts TO palaces, the advent of that child
will be celebrated with glad hearts by
millions. No other birthday anniversary
is so widely and joyously observed No
other child was ever born into life in this
world under such circumstances; such
strange mingling of supernatural glories
and human lowliness we read in the gos-
pei records of the events of that night-the
light streaming down from the heavens at
midnight, the rush and radiance of an
gelic hosts, the strains of celestial music
the wandering shepherds, the adoring wise
men led on in their Journey by the star
Men and women, L cannot read your
hearts; L know only my own. But as we
sit here and listen to the story of these
wonderful happenings long ago in Bethle-
hem somehow while our hearts are stirred,
YET IL tHcLS iOI III our a spirit tndC
asks, are these alleged happenings reali-
ties? For to us at times this New Testa-
ment record Of the scenes attending the birth
of the Holy Child seems like a legend
beautiful indeed but the dream of some
devout poetic imagination. Can il be true?
This anniversary season ought to be help
full not merely for the gaining of more of
the kindly and sweet and cheerful spirit
of the Christmastiue but for the gaining
OF stronger confidence in the historic
event which we commemorate. Whatever
misgivings we may entertain regarding
certain of the wonders that we read at
tended the birth of Jesus. there are GER
tain other and greater wonders regarding
Him of which we may be sure. They are
realities which these 1900 years since have
made clear beyond question. The prophet
said that the child to be born would show
himself king; king of kings in COM
parison- with whom all earthly sovereigns
would appear small What a stupendous
claim, Yet that the claim had a founda-
tion of granite is witnessed TO by the king
ship of Jesus in human civilization Jesus
spoke often Of his kingdom. He said that
IL was already come in His day. that
seed il would grow to worldwide magni-
tude and IL has. Jesus has shown him.
self to be the mightiest parsonage (rnea-
sured by His influence) in human history
Jesus presents us the ideal OF kngship
I'm His incarnation and His life among men
of loving service. L am among you as he
that doth serve All, that kingly life of
self-denying, loving service. How IL re-
