DIR. Bristoi's Sermon.
The Rev. Dr. Bristol. the pastor of the
church. preached most eloquent and
beautiful sermon on the Significance OF
the day. He took his text for the occa-
sion from Matthew ii:a. and in the course
OF his sermon he said:
If the Christmastide with all its sa-
cred history and connections conferred no
other blessing unon this human life of
ours than that OF bringing joy and happi-
ness TO us and our children il would in
deed be the most blessed period in the
calendars Of time. How beautiful and how
significant Is the story OF the Star told
again and again to the eager listening ear
of humanity. The world seems never to
tire OF the same old story; that Star OF
the East has not lost its ineffabic splen-
dor. The star has passed by all events OF
the world and stood where the young child
was.
Dr. Bristol contended that men should
not worship the creed for its own sake,
but only as an agent through which we
would be- drawn nearer to Christ.

A Good Word for School Teachers.

Among all the noble and magnifi-
cent benefactions credited to Ameri-
can men Of wealth in recent years, we
know OF none more wisely and worth
lily bestowed than that Of the late
Lewis Elkin, Of Philadelphia, who
left the bulk of bis fortune Of 2,000,-
600 in trust to create fund for the
benefit Of disabled women teachers
who have taught in the public schoola
Of that city for twenty five years, and
have no means of support. The fund
will provide the bene6ciaries with
an annuity Of about $40O each. The
bequest is noteworthy because it is al
most without precedent. 1t is an ex-
ample, however, which other mon of
large fortune might well follow. The
average income of teachers in al. our
schools, public and private, from the
lowest to the highest, is pitiably
small, the average not exceeding
$4OO. Many of the professors in our
high institutions of learning receive
less than e. ,GG2o yoaF, and many 9th :
ers not over half that amount, or a sum
less than that earned by some unskill-
ed workingman. Considering the
large expense involved in preparation
for teaching, an expense growing lar
ger every year, as the requirements
and standards for admission to the
profession are advanced, the salaries
paid are meager and wholly made
quate. Cultured and refined men and
women cannot secure the comforts,
helps and conveniences which their pro
fession and aocompanimenta demand
that they shall have on such incomes.
Far better and more satisfactory than
any benefactions would be general
and large advance in the salaries paid
to tbs eeeaheE=, but ia Lieu of aihi.
gifts of such proportion as that made
by the Philadelphia financier are to he
welcomed and encouraged.
