CHRISTMAS SENTIMENTSB BY SALT LAKE MINISTER'S

Krlnge's day or the day Of Sk1ta
Claus, but ChrIsts day a happy day
because Il Is His birthday, and because
II is a day Of peace and goodwill to-
wards all men, The first chapters Of
Lukes gospel are worth more as an
account OF the origin of this season OF
love, JOY and peace than all the
Christmas literature ever written.
Rev. Or. c, r. Brown. 1t Is fitting
that Christmas should be of all memo
rial days the most universally and joy
fully celebrated. II marks the point Of
Gods supreme revelation 10 man In
Christ, the revelation Of a perfect man
and at the same time Of one whose "ao-
tons were such as became the mani
tested God
The Savior of mankind, saving man
from his sins, and not man In his sins
is the full fruition OF the divine pur-
pose established from the foundations
OF the world Christ as saving man
not by any ceremonial or for money
considerations, but by winning hisheart
TO Himself making him TO see and
TO hate his sin and 10 see and to love
the forgiving God. He has found the
real Significance Of Christmas who has
learned to love God as Father, and
to love his fellow men as brothers.
Rev. Dean j, b. Eddy.-For us
Christians, Christmas should be not
only commemorated as an historical
event, but as a matter Of personal ex-
perlence. The Christ child should be
born In our hearts, and with Him en-
throned there our lives viii be gov
crned by the spirt of love and good
will The Christmas message is one OF
Gods humanity, Of His generosity and
&c His love,
The nativity OF our Lord was cele'
brated BY the very early Christians,
but since the third century Christmas
has been celebrated at the time we now
observe It. The exact date Of our Lords
birth Is not known, and authorities
differ But the time does not cut any
figure. The fact Of the birth and what
Il stands for nre the main things. The
fact is that Christ lived and what He
accomplish

coyerles which they regard as being I'M
portant
one of the deputy sheriffs holds TO the
same theory advanced by MI. shafp
namely. that when Hay left Morten-

ing blow on the head and then carried
him down the railroad track and leit
him there for q time There was
confusion on tin of Hays head. the

of the doctors, would have rendered

CLOTHES TORN.
Mortensen Gives Reasonable State
ment as to How II Happened.

The officers made another discovery
last night which they regard as being
very important, Whether II is or not
remains to be seen. The discovery is
that IN Mortensen's trousers are three
small jagged tears and the officers be-
lieye they We're caused by q barbed
wire, II Is impossible to determine now
whether they were made by a wire
or something else. The holes are near
the hip pocket and Mortensen's explain
alton is plausible, He says they were
made by carrying a rule in his pocket.
His statement is reasonable to say the
least.
Detective Sheets has had him remove
his clothing several times In the hope
of discovering some mark upon them
bur there were none found. The pris-
oner refuses to talk to Detective
Sheets. He says his statements might
be disconstrued
His explanation OF why he did not
have lay write Cancelled" across the
face Of the note for $3.50, which the
lumber company held against him,
when he paid Hay the gold, is that
the mere fact that he had the note in
his possession Is sufficient. The lumber
company was no longer IN possession of
1t and that was enough for him. On
the other hand Mr. Romney is positive
that had Hay received the money before
he left Mortensens house he would
have Cancelled the note In accordance
with rule Of the company,
