LEPROsY IN THE PHILIPPINES,
According to franciscan Fathers There Are
$4,000 Lepers in the Island.
(By the Associated Press


Washington, Dec 26.-An appended re-
port to General MacArthur's review of
the civil affairs of the Philippines for
the past fiscal year, gives some rather
startling facts regarding the introduction
and prevalence of leprosy in the islands.
According to the estimates of the Fran
ciscan Fathers, says Major Guy L. Edie,
the writer of the report, there are no
less than 10000 lepers nthe archipelago,
the major portion of these being in the
Visayas Leprosy was introduced in 1888
when the Emperor of Japan sent a ship
with $50 lepers on board to the Philip.
pines as a present to be cared for by the
Catholic priests. Thus the seed was
planted, and as no practical methods were
ever adopted to eradicate the disease or
prevent its spread. it has taken firm root
and spread into its present formidable
phase. house ohouse inspection in
augurated last January found more than
a hundred lepers concealed in dwellings.
These were sent to San LaZaro Hospital
in Manila, but many others escaped into
the surrounding country. A commission
is now engaged in the work of selecting
a suitable island, or islands for the pur-
pose of isolating all the lepers in the
archipelago.

AT THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
Appropriate Services and Splendid Music. Ad-
dress by the Rector.

The day was fittingly and beautifully
celebrated at the Church of the Good
Shepherd by service of song and praise.
The music was especially fine. Prof.
Judewine, who had prepared it for this
occasion, directed the choir. which rem
dered all the selections with much power
and beauty.
The interior of the church was a love-
ly sight-decorated by the ladies of the
congregation with flowers and ever
green's indicative of the season. The
choir entered under lovely arch of
flowers, and the chancel was a perfect
bower of flowers.
Rev. DR.. Pittinger delivered an address
from the church, taking his text from the
first and fourteenth verse of the chapter
of St. John: I'm the beginning was the
link is the incarnate Son of God and
the Word was Cod"
"And the Word was made flesh and
dwelt among u.s.
He said this was the most direct state
ment of the fact of the incarnation of the
Son of God. The doctrine of creation and
of the incarnation were strangely inter
mingled in this chapter of st. John. The
resemblance between the language and in
the first chapter of Genesis is striking,
as the speaker showed by a comparison
of the two accounts. The time spoken OF
by st. John is before that referred to in
the Mosaic record of creation.
Creation and incarnation are related to
each other as the two fold of an eclipse.
Around one is all that pertains to God
and His nature; around the other all that
pertains to man and his history, and the
link is the incarnation. Son of God and
son of man. The two great events are
epochs in the history of Gods revelation
of Himself to men. and each was cele-
rated in it's proper way. He clothed Him
self with creation and in all things we
may see God. He leads men back to Him
self by the new revelation which He made
IN Jesus.
The following was the personnel of the
choir:
Tenors-Mr Anderton and Mr.. Jude
wine.
Bass-Mr A. NJ Hanff, Mr. S. NJ Hanff
Mr.. Arthur Ball and Mr. Terrell Ken
dr:ck.
Altos-Miss Lucy Battle and Mrs
Weihe.

follows:

AT THE SACRED HEART.
At a. IN. Christmas morning. most of
the congregation of the Sacred Heart
(Catholic) church received Holy Com
munich, together with many strangers
from adjoining towns.
High Mass was celebrated at II o'clock.
Mrs. c. Cheatham was organist, in the
absence of Mrs. William Robbins Leo
pards Mass in F. fiat was rendered, and
GLORY to God was sung at the offertory.
Father Grifn preached from the text:
amen, l say unto you, unless you be
converted, and become as little children F"
He began by saying that each year mind,
soul and body and their expression in art
and literature are brought to the crib
at Bethlehem by the Christian and I'M
believer to do honor to the Christ-child.
The coming of every child dignies a
home; but this child was the source of all
hope as expressed in the scriptures. AS
he was the hope of the past, He is now
the joy of the present. All the schemes
of the ancients to infuse life into a sick
world failed. The Son of God employed
the weapons of humanity, obedience and
chastity, and renewed the world

AT CHRIST CHURCH.
Impressive Services and Finely Rendered
Music. An Able Sermon.

A large congregation admired the taste
full decorations and appropriate music at
Christ church Christmas morning. The
choir was under the direction of Miss
Alice Jones. and the rendering of the
familiar anthems was grand and powerful.
The offertory, "Sing, o Heavens" was es-
pecially noteworthy.
Rev. DR.. NJ. M. Marshall, the rector,
spoke on "The Gift of Cod as his theme.
He referred to the acts. wherein the
Holy Ghost and His miraculous gifts are
called 1.-The Gift of Cod In the epistle
general of st. James, every good thing
which men receive is called 1.-The Gift of
God" Every good and perfect gift is
from above. In the Epistle to the Ro-
mans the gift of Righteousness" signi-
fies those benefits which Christ has pur-
chased Cor US.
DR.. Marshall went on to show how the
church improves all occasions to the
spiritual good of her children, and how
the church calendar is arranged with that
view He then spoke of the celebration of
Christmas day, contrasting the practice
Of giving the day over to gfuttony and
carousing with the true Christian custom
Of making it a day of universal good will.
Our thoughts should dwell on the greatest
gift of God to sinful men. His son Jesus
Christ. The sermon closed with an APP
peal to reject no longer the great gift of
God

superintendent of the Sunday School, oc
cupied seats on the platform and took
part with Mr.. Marshall in the service.
The celebration was opened with a volun-
tary, followed by song from the infant
class. The music all through the service
was of an exceptionally fine character and
was rendered with much power.
DR. Skinner led in prayer. and then DR..

The Treasurer Of the State has called
| my attention TO the fact that there are n
number OF old bonds which have hitherto
bccn reported as (undable, but which un-
der the Act OF 1898 are now 10 longer 50,
| and among them are the bonds claimed
by the State Bank (Blue Ridge Railroad
bonds OF 1857 to the amount of S37, 900.
The Act of 1896 referred to prohibits the
| State Treasurer from funding or paving
| nny bonds after the expiration of twenty
years from the date Of maturity. The
| bonds above mentioned matured OIL July
Ist, 1879, and the twenty years limitation
| expired OH July Ist, 1869
These bonds, it may be rccollectcd
| have been the subject of several applica-
tions to the General Assembly for permis-
sion TO fund them without the surrender
! OF the bonds themselves. One hundred
thousand dollars Of these bonds were, it
is alleged, plundcrcd and taken from the
Bank in February, 1865, by the Federal
troops Ill their march through the State.
They have from that time been constantly
claimed by the Bank, the receiver Of
which obtained an in junction from the
courts as early as 1870, restraining the
Treasurer Of the State from paying prin-
| cipal or interest Of any Of them TO any one
ut to the receiver, and under that i'll
junction all of these bonds but the tllirtv-
seven now remaining upon the Treasur-
cr's books have from time to time been

and by him funded. No one has during
the thirty years since the injunction has
been III force claimed the bonds in uucs-
tion,' and the Courts of the State have de-
clared that they are the property of the
State Bank, and that the receiver Of the
Bank is the only person entitled to fund
and collect them from the Treasurer of
the State.
The State owes these bonds to some
one, and the objection which the General
Assembly has hitherto had to the funding
OF them has been, it is understood, the
tear that some one might still produce
and present them to the Treasurer, for
funding under the funding Act of the
State, and that the State might in this
way have to pay them twice. Ibis OBJ
lection seems now removed, as 10 one but
the receiver Of the bank has the right to
ask to have them funded, all other per
sons being now barred by the statutes from
applying to the Treasurer for that purpose.
But however this may be, SOME action
must now be taken in regard to them.
They can 10 longer be carried on the
books of the Treasurer as bonds filndable.
1t rests with the General Assembly to saw
what must be done in the matter.
