THE CIRCUMCIssIoN.

Holy Mother church celebrates on
Monday, Jan. 1, the feast of the Cir
cumcision of Our Lord Circumcision
was d sacrament of the Old Law, and
the first legal observance required by
Almighty God Of the descendants of
Abraham. 1t was a saCTement of initia-
ton in the service of God. and a prom
Use and engagement to believe and act
as He had revealed and directed. The
law of circumcision continued in force
until the death of Christ, and Our Saw
ior being born under the law, it be-
came Him, who came to teach mankind
obedience to the law of God, to fulfill
all justice, and to submit to it. There
fore, He was circumcised that He might
redeem them that were under the law
by freeing them from the servitude of
it; and that those who were in the con-
ditiOn of servants before might be set
at liberty. and receive the adoption of
sons in Baptism which, by Christ's in
stitution, succeeded to circumcision. On
the day that the divine Infant was cir
cumcised He received the name of
Jesus, which signifies Savior. which had
been given Him by the angel before He
was conceived. That name, so beauti-
full, so glorious3the divine Child does
not wish to bear for one moment with
out fulfilling it's meaning; even at the
moment Of His circumcision He
showed Himself a Savior by Ehedding
for us that blood, a single drop of
which is more than sufficient for the
ransom and salvation of the world.

ALL HOPE IS DTspEL1ED.
French Unable to Take Any of the
Orange River Crossings.

Orange River Crossings.
London, Jan. 4.-There is a complete
absence of anything new from the seat
Of war. The report of the Boer attack
upon Molteno is not yet confirmed. APP
parently General French holds nothing
within five miles of Colesburg junction.
His request for reinforcements dispels
any present hope that he will be able to
seize one of the crossings of the Orange
river.
1t is probable that when Lord Roberts
arrives General French will be ordered
to quit his present unsupported posi-
ton and to concentrate his command
at De Aar or Orange river. AS the
Daily Telegraph says: General French
seems to be in the position of a man
having a tiger cat in a trap and unable
to kill it for want of a stick

RECRUITING IS GOING ON.
Great Activity Among the Irish In
New York.

New York. Jan. 1.-The World says:
Recruiting for South Africa is going

among the Irish volunteers of this and
other nearby cities. That several MEM
bers of the Volunteers which is a
branch of the Gamma Gael, are already
in the Boer country preparing for the
reception of recruits is well understood.
There has been a great demand for
drill regulations of the United States
army from Irish societies, and one firm
in this city that publishes these regu-
lations has filled large orders within
the last few days. A prominent men,
Der of the Clan ma Gael said yester-
day:
Never have the Irishmen in Amer
lea had so powerful a military force
behind them as has been given by the

What is the estimated strength of
the volunteers in American" he was
asked.
From the latest returns I should
say about $4,000, most Of whom are in
the larger cities"

nection of the volunteers with the

REBELS ARE DISPERSED.
One of the Results of Colonel Pill
cher's Victory at Douglas.

London, Jan. 3.-Laclling news from
| the main British camps in South At
RIGA whose future action can alone have
an important effect on the larger is
sues of the campaign, the British public
| is making the most of Colonel Pitchers
miniature battle. Unbounded tribute
is paid to the proves of the Cana
dians and Australians and graphic ac-
| counts are published of the scenes at
Douglas as the victorious entered that
place. The representative Of the AS
ISOLATED Press with the flying column,
says:
"The immediate result of Colonel Pill
cher's success is the entire dispersal
of the rebels who have been governing
the country for the past six weeks.
After SunnySide was captured the
TorontoS occupied the lager for the
night and Joined the main body the fol-
| lowing morning, bringing the whole of
the Boer tents, wagons and loot, and
leaving the Cornwalls in garrison at
Sunnyside. The British force then
started for Douglas, the Torontos
bringing up the rear in wagons.
In the afternoon the troops entered
the town unopposed and amid extraor-
binary scenes. The inhabitants were
overjoyed and crowded about the sol.
diers, shaking hands with them and
when they learned that their deliverers
were Canadians and Australians the
enthusiasm became frenZied. There
were deafening cheers as the troops
traversed the main street and it was
almost impossible for them to make
progress, the crowds being so eager
to shake hands with the colonies.
1t appears that the Landdrost and all
the mounted rebels evacuated the place
on the previous night. The unmounted
rebels are reported to be intrenched in
the vicinity. Quantities of ammunition
were captured and destroyed.
a dispatch from the Modder river
intimates that the Sunnyside prisoners
will not be treated as prisoners of war
but as British subjects caught in open
rebellion.
At the Modder river camp the conduct
of the colonials is greatly admired and
all are delighted that they have struck
the first blow on the western frontiert
since the battle of Magersfontein. 1t is
believed the relief of Thurman will
quickly follow
From a source which has many facili-
ties of gaining inside news from South
Africa, the Associated Press learns
that Colonel Pitchers occupation of
Douglas is regarded as merely the first
step OF General Methuen's carefully ma
tured plans to outflank the Beers. Ac-
eordlng to this authority it is probably
Colonel Pitcher in conjunction with
General Babington's force from the
Modder river will proceed to the rear
of those intrenchments which now pre-
vent Methuen from proceeding to kim
berley.
Colonel Pitcher has only about forty
miles travel before he achieves this end
and if this understanding is correct an
attack by General Methuen and a de-
termined effort to relieve Kimberley
may be expected any day.
