THE REV. T. J. BROWN

Christmas is the anniversary O1
the greatest vent in all time. The
recurring anniversary OF the birth
day OF distinguished men is carefully
observed and gratefully celebrated,
but it is not the birthday of sage or
philanthropist that we common crate,
but the birthday of one who brought
into this world the highest manifesto
ton and the deepest revelation of the
character OF God.
God had manifested himself in
other ways to the world and the man
Hesitation was the greatest possible.
His Omnipotence was beautifully eX-
hiblted in the creation of the Uni
verse. In the vast eXpanse and
variety of nature we see 1t. The
mountains that lift their grim heads
above the clouds, like Senunels, give
as some idea of the mind that placed
them. The ocean that lies tranquil
under. the play of the sunlight, and
then, tossed of the tempest, dashes
its breakers over the reef, and whirls
into its black abyss the laundering
steamer, adds but to the vastness Of
our conception of the God who holds
the waters in the hollow of his hand.
The thunders that roll their can1on-
ade along the batteries of cloud, and
belch the lightaing from their lurid
muZzles, while spIre and mast and
tree are shivered under their vOlley,
speak of the divine power until we
tremble before it. The carpet Of
81
wales, with its inwrought figure of
flower and its border of forest, and
stretches its velvet verdure up the
stairways of The hills; the streams
that thread their paths along the
widowed banks and push by the jutt-
ing rocks, and plunge in waterfall
anu widen into rivers as they near
the sea: the stalwarC oak and stately
elm that weave their leafv branches
into coronals Of emerald beauty, or
like warriors clad in mail on a winter
morning. when shuttle of sunlight
flies through loom of crystal in their
weaving; the rolling praries with
their crowned and tassled grain kings;
these creations OF Gods hand startle
US pot more with their lavish beauty
than they Gaze our finite faculties
with the innnitude of the divine. re-
sources and the glory OF the divine
Being. But when Mary gave birth
TO the Caristehild. the enfesbed Of
God. there was ushered in a new and
potent divine energy that gave 20
mankind thu aighest conception of
I'D - a being 81 love. All farmer
manifestations Sere eclipsed By this

Smell OF the murder Of Lizzie Weisen
berger. The crimes were as brutal and
as wanton as were ever committed.
During the last two weeks District At
torney Anderson and Assistant District At
torney Taylor, representing the Govern
ment, and w. D. Baker and Alexander
Wolf, representing Funk. have been busily
engaged In perfecting the bill of excep
tons for appeal from the judgment of the
Supreme Court of the District to the Court
Of Appeals for the District. This work has
not yet been completed. u is the hope OF
the counsel on either SIDE that a hearing
may be had before the Court of Appeals
and decision reached before the day set
for the execution. In the event that the
decision of the upper court is against their
client, 1t is the intention of Funk's coun-
sci TO carry the case TO the Supreme Court
Of the United States by certiorari, or, If
necessary, by petition for writ of habeas
corpus.
1t is understood that 1t was Funk's de-
sire, when called for sentence, TO make a
speech in his own defence, as to why judg-
ment should not be pronounced. but on the
advice of his counsel he refrained from do
ing SO. When sentenced he shook hands
with his attorneys. They afterward fol-
lowed him to his cell, where they held a
brief conference.

FRANK FUNK SENTENCED
Justice Cole Fixes May II as the
Day Of the Execution.
ny Advice of His Counsel the Con-
demned Mnn Refrains From Max
ing Statement in Court - The
Bill of Exceptions for an Appeal
Being Prepared by the Attorneys.

Frank ". Funk was yesterday sentenced
by Justice Cole to be hanged on May IL.
No white man ever sentenced to death in
the District appeared so entirely indiffer-
emit to his fate as did Funk when he was
call to stand, that sentence might be i'm
posed upon him. The nerve which he ex-
hibited throughout his trial did not for-
cake him and he faced the court with a
emile and a demeancr which warranted
the officers OF the court in saying that he
is the neryiest man ever called for SEN
tence OF death in the District courts.
Before Funk was called for sentence he
was in cell in the basement of the City
Hall building, He appeared calm and per-
fectiy conscious of the seriousness of his
position. He did not waver in his former
expression OF confidence in the efforts of
his counsel TO stay judgment of the court.
He still maintains that he is innocent of
causing William II. Brooks death.
He said yesterday that since SHELLS con-
viction and sentence for the murder of
Lizzie Weisenberger Smell has troubled
him by continually asking what his
chances are for a reversal of the Judgment
OF the court. Funk appeared very much
amused over the difference of SHELLS con-
duct since and before his conviction. II
will be remembered that Smell based his
defence on insanity. Before his trial
Funk stated that Smell made desperate
efforts TO successfully feign insanity, but
since his conviction he has ceased his eff
forts, and now. Funk says, appears TO
realize the seriousness OF his position.
Funk has been sentenced TO die on the
same day on which Justice Ciabaugh fixed
the execution of Smell. Funk was convicted
OF the murder of William Il. Brooks, and
