She knew that her Holy Child was a SUI
pernatural child, and hence she sang her
beautiful hymn of the Divine Incarna-
tion.
The incarnation Of God is mystery,
but 1t is also q glorious fact. In her ma
jestic hymn, the mother of Jesus, speaks
with sublime delicacy and tenderness of
the part God had chosen her to take in
the carrying out of the great work of
human redemption. ''He hath regarded
the low estate of His handmaiden. He
that is mighty hath done to me great
things, and holy is His name" But
when she contemplated the blessings
which the eternal Son of God bestowed
upon us all, when "He took upon Him
to deliver man. and when. in the eN-
cess of His condecension, He "did not
abhor the virgins womb" then she be-
comes ecstatic, and in a burst of In
spired passion, she peers across the CEN
turtles and she predicts the conquests and
the glory of that kingdom of which her
Son is the Divine and everlasting King.
She knew, full well, the meaning Of the
Divine Incarnation, and when she con-
templated fits blessed results her soul
magnified tho Lord and her spirit re-
joiced in God, her Savior.
And the Savior's advent. which brought
such joy and gladness to Mary's soul
and spirit, ought to bring joy and glad
that 1.-THE Word was made flesh Is
cause enough for devout thankfulness
and holy joy.
We cannot explain the mystery of the
Divine Incarnation. but we can believe
IL. and we do believe it with all our
Bible states 1t with repeated emphasis,
and with unmistakable clearness.
He Became Man.
Because we are men, therefore, for us
men, and for our salvation, He became
man. 'Inasmuch then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, He also
Himself, likewise took part of the same" :"
at is a faithful saying. and worthy of all
acceptation. that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save Sinners This is the
truth that makes the hymn of the Incar-
nation, the hymn of the centuries. The
incarnation of God is as real and as nee
essary a fact for our salvation, as it was
for the salvation of the Virgin Mary. 1t
had. indeed, a peculiar interest for her.
because she was chosen to be the mother
of Christ's human nature, not the
mother of God. God cannot have a
mother.
But as truly as lie was her Savior. so
truly is He willing and even anxious to
be our Savior He~became man that He
might make an atonement for human
guilt, and all who trust in His infinite
merits, and who cling to Him with low
ing hearts, may rejoice in His salvation.
1t is the privilege of every saved soul to

The praises of the newborn Christ

evangelistic Christian churches of the
city. There We're special musical pro-
grammes prepared with much care

last night. The excellent mixed quar-
tette, which is recognized as one of
the finest in the state rendered several
anthems under the direction Of Prof.
j. Alfred Pennington, who presided at
the organ. The anthem, 'There were
Shepherds" was especially delightful.
Mrs. Ezra Connell's clear and beauti.

vibrant contralto of Mrs. Lenore

nell singing Bethlehem"
The town of Bethlehem, he said,
was q place of no great Importance
and it would seem to some people that
to be born in such a place would be

was born in Bethlehem and went from
there to Nazareth, a. most ill-favored
place, is a refutation of the argument
that circumstances must be favorable

SCALDED
WORKMAN ESCAPES DEATH MAR
ROWLY AT PACKING HOUSE.
His Injuries Very Painful But Not
Fatal


At st. Francis hospital John OFT lies
in very painful condition. The skin
on his back and left side has been scald-
ed off. He was working on the boiler
at Cudahys packing plant when the ac-
cldent occurred, which almost scaided
him to death. 1t is said by those that
understand the work that but for Otis
presence of mind, he would have bean
killed.
Mr.. OFT is IS years old. He has been
pronounced out of danger and viii be
able in the course of weeks to return 10
his work. AS near as can be learned,
Mr.. OFT was the cause Of his own misfor-
tune and himself says SO. He was re-
pairing some machinery on top Of one
of the immense boilers in the packing
house. In seIne accidental way he raised
the valve too high, and the steam and
hot water burst forth as from the angry
mouth of a demon. He turned suddenly
and the scalding water caught him on
the back and side. He ran and jumped
off the boiler and in doing so struck
against an iron bar. causing further in
jury to his side.
He was Immediately taken to the hos
pital. where his wounds were dressed
by physician. At last reports he was
resting easy. His narrow escape from
what seemed certain death is one of
those happy freaks of fortune.
Constipation is the rock that wrecks
many lives; it poisons the very life blood.

earth and moon get into position as on q
straight line and produce a total eclipse
as last night. There were people in
every part of the city standing in their
front yards gazing a the pink COM
piexioned man in the moon.
At just seventeen minutes past 10
O'Clock the eastern edges of the lunar
surface was clipped off. One man de-
clared that as the sun was just about
setting in California. this shadow must
have been of the orange groves. Any
way it had the color. At midnight the
eclipse was total and the moon appeared
as n had not before during the opera
ton. The dark surfaces were no longer
visible, but there was an even shadow
over all. The reason for the dark center
observed earlier in the eclipse is ex-
planned thus: There are an infinite num-
Der of rays Of light from every point
on the suns surface As the earth is
betWeen the sun and the moon the rays
from those points in the center OF the
sun s surface are shut of by the earth.
but some Of tie rays from the outer
edge of the suns surface do reach the
outer edge Of the moons surface. II you
don't understand this explanation, get
down your old High school physics and
see for yourself.
The eclipse reached its totaiity al 10
minutes past II O'Clock The shadow Of
the earth is so much larger than tho
moon s surface that it takes p minutes
FOR it to pass across the latters surface.
