sermon at Trinity church, THE BEE

sermon at Trinity church, THE BEE
said:
The first sermon of Rev Mr. Linsley as
rector of Trinity parish won all hearts,
Sunday, by it's devoted spirit and his ex.
pressed purpose to know nothing among
his people save Jesus Christ and Him
crucif1ed. Taking this motto OF ST Paul
in his dealings with the Corinthians as
text, Mr. Linsley described the motley
state Of Corinth's society, including the
philosophical IGreek, the proud Roman
welded to law and the Jew bound up In
mummy cloths of Journalism. He also
sketched the divisions among the Cor
inthian Christians, among whom the
party spirit ran high. some cleaving to
Paul's doctrine Of Justification by faith,
some to Peters sermons on the Jewish
origin of Christianity and others still to
the teaching Of Apollos, wise in the
philosophy OF Alexandria. Disclaiming
any intention OF close parallelism, Mr.
Linsley went on to speak Of his relations
to Trinity parish as tea cher, priest and
pastor, In all Of which he should aim to
know nothing but Jesus Christ and him
crucified. Not learning, science nor
rhetorical flourish would be the theme
and style Of his pulpit utterances and,
reverencing the house and worship Of
God, he should aim to bring comfort and
help to the sick and suffering.

LEPERtS BURIED ALIVE.
Unfortunate Victims Ride Behind
Their Own Collins.


Their Own Collins.
The Chinese have curiously cheer.
full way of disposing of their lepers.
The relatives of the afflicted person
propose to him that they bury him
alive, and such is the fatalism of the
Chinese that the victim readily con-
sents. An extra elaborate meal is SER
we'd to him, in the way of a farewell
banquet, and then the funeral process
sion forms. The man who is about to
pc lmmured under the sod follows his
own coffin, and when he reaches the
grave he takes a dose of laudanum,
hops into the box and settles down for
eternity.
Doctor Wittenburg, writing on the
subject of leprosy in China, states
that the pure nerve form is the least
common. In such cases, as is we'll
known, the patients may go OH for
years. AS to the mixed form. it is fair
ly common. but it is difficult mat
ter to estimate the number If lepers
in any given district. The sufferers
lead the common life so long as they
remain free from destructive LESSONS.
When these occur to any marked de-
gree the leper is either segrated in a
hut or he is allowed to wander about
the country sustaining life by begging.

The fact is, there is a phosph

when the head is struck violently, and

was opened, and girl stood fronting
me.
Her breast was heaving and her
breathing hurried, her lovely, glossy,
jet black hair was tumbled and tossed
beneath the tam-o-shanter that sur
mounted it; her dark blue violet eyes
were ablaze with excitement; and even
as I took in the beauty of her rich,
ripe lips she laid her finger upon them

She half turned, and stood in a listen
ing attitude, as though expecting some
one to follow her. so had full view
of her perfect profile, and whilst
was still gazing at her, adniring her
beauty and wondering what good fairy
had sent me so charming visitor, she
turned towards me.
"Whisht!" said she, in a low tone,
and the word fell from her lips as it
only can from an Irish girl. "Whisht!
He's after me, and he'd kill me this
minute if he found me. All! there he
goes!"~ and her quick ear had caught
the sound of feet hurrying along the
pathway.
"Bide Where you are" she went on
as she noticed that I was about to rise.
'Bide where you are. He wasn't round
the corner-and your door was open,

The package should be addressed tc

novel, useful and pretty. If they are
going abroad do not give anything un-
suitable to the requirements of the
climate or so cumbersome that the

When Christmas Comes.

When Christmas comes, by all means
have the house dressed in holly and
pine and fir, and don't forget the mis-
teltoe. Go out and mingle with the
Christmas throngs. There is an exhil-
aration in forming part, if only a
unit, in the crowd that is so gay and so
merry, in hearing bits of bright talk, in
greeting friends and acquaintance and
seeing the overlooking joy of children.
Never let single Christmas pass with
out reading a Christmas story and
singing a Christmas song, and do not
overlook the sweet significance of the
day itself. Remember that it is for all
the world the anniversary Of Christ's
birth. BE as happy as you can, and
make others as happy as you cam
