A drunken man staggered into
a church IN Gibson City, H., dur
ing a revival the other evening and
sat down in pew Of one of the
deacone. The preacher was dis.
coursing about the prevalent popu-
lar vices. Soon he exclaimed,
"Where is the drunkard?" The
iuebriate man was. just far enough
gone to think the call personal,
so, rising heavily, replied, "Here
/ am,'' and remained standing
while the drunkard's character and
fate was eloquently portrayed. A
few minutes later the preacher
reached another head Of his dis
course, and asked. "Where is the
hypocrite?" Gently nudg'ng his
neighbor, the drunkard said in an
audible whisper. s'Stand up, dea-
con, he means sou this time.
Stand up and take 1t like a man,

2:1--17, which occurred about the
first of April III the year of Rome 750
This is definitely fixed by an eclipse
of the moon which is mentioned as
occurring little before his death.
This eclipse, by astronomical calcula-
tion, took place on the night of the
18th or 18th, of March, in the year of
Rome 750, or four years before our
common era. Augustine regarded
Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Ascen-
sion Day and Whitsontide as the only
festivals of Apostolic origin, and ap-
proved by the councils; Christmas he
deemed of less authority and later
date. When the effort was made to
fix the place and date of the Saviour S
birth, we are told by Clement of
Alexandria that various dates were
proposed, the Goth of May, the goth
and 2l of April, etc.
The Oriental christians believed
that both the baptism and birth of
Christ took place on the 9th of Jan
uary. Hence some of the old people
used to keep January the for Christ
mas, calling that date "Old Christ
mas !" I had an uncle who held that
view, and after everybody else had
nearly forgotten Christmas, and was
starting to prepare for another crop,

and tho'-like Patrick Lowery's OK

enjoy it wonderfully. We gloried in
his spunk, but was little doubtful
as to his jugment. Julian /, bishop
Of Rome from A D 337-352, conten-
ded for the 25th Of December, view
which the eastern church ultimately
accepted, while the church of the west
adopted, from their brethren in the
east, the view THAT Baptism was on
the 9th of January, hence it is one of
the festivals of the Catholic world to-
day, and protestants are taught to OBJ
serve the same without any proof how
ever as to it's correctness from a his
torfc standpoint. The date of Christ s
birth, like Moses's grave; are likely
kept secret for our good, because of
the weakness of human nature toward
idolatTy. Christmas in wartime came
on the 25th of December as at all other
times, but we did not have either

(For The Brandon News.

Dear Young People: We have
now reached letter No.7 in our series,
III which promised to tell you some-
thing of Christmas and Santa Claus, !"
and to make these things more inter
esting we will notice them in their
origin, process of development, and
their present reception among the peo-
pie. The name Christmas, and
spelled Krismas Christ Mass,
aud expressed by the sign of an K, is
feast, or festival of the nativity of
Christ, observed by most people yearly
on the 25th of December. The west
ern Catholic church placed it on that
date after considerable discussion.
However, we are by no means certain
that Christ was born on the Goth of
December, but the preponderance of
testimony both direct and inferential,
point to an earlier date in the year.
Palestine has it's two rainy seasons each
year, known in Scripture as the 'sfor-
mer and latter rains. and during the
inclement weather the shepherds
would carry their flocks into they fold
at night: at the time of Christ's birth
they were camping in the open field
with their f1ocks, and hence one of
the good spells of weather which oc-
Cured in October or November. All
antions are due homage to the ''King
of Kings and Lord of Lords. The
angels came and announced the glad
tidings of his birth to the shepherds
III that sweet Christmas carol, ''Fear
not; for behold bring you good It'd
ings of great joy which shall be unto
all people" For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a Saw
iour, which is Christ the Lord x
glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace and good will toward
men," And the heavenly Choir made
the hills of Bethlahom resound with
the praise of the new born king The
exact day and year of Christ birth is
not certain. Dionysius the small, a
Scythian by birth, and an abbot at
Rome in the year A d, 526 fixed the
birth of Christ to the 754 year of
Rome. This is the commonly receiv-
ed era, but this chronology is now
objected to, for Jesus was born before
the death of Herod, the great, Matt.

heart or means to enjoy it as we do
now. 1t is true we would burn some
confederate powder in shooting Christ
mas guns from army old muskets, and
Sometimes we would bore two-inch
hole into log. fill it with powder,
drive peg OH it, and with a slow
match touch her off, Lie down
on scandinavia, for splinters, slabs,
quarter slabs, rails of all lengths,
sizes, measures and diameters would
go flying through the air like whirl-s
wind of scantlings, bank dust, dirt
and nonsense. But there was always
one thought which cut us to the heart,
that while we were trying our hand
on Christmas guns for amusement, we
knew that guns of heavier calibre were
throwing leadens missiles of death in
to the crank and file'' of our loved
ones on the fearful field of battle, for
in the years of 1862-63 from Dec. the
31st to Jan. 2nd, at Murfreesboro,
Tenn, the fearful storm of war was
raging and great destruction of human
life pending; we could not think of
Christmas for thinking of dead hus-
bands, sons, brothers, and sweethearts

Der 13 at Fredericksburg, Lee and
Burnside fought another bloody battle
with a loss of II, 900 human lives, and
every one of these 35, 900 who died in
two awful struggles, were somebody S
father, husband, son or brother, enough
blood shed to discolor the waters of the
Mississippi river for miles; no JOY to
the heart at home when such carnage
was raging at the frcnt.
We had no Christmas trees ladened
with valuable gifts from friends and
admirers, but while we lost that pleas
ure we were exempt from the fruits Of
moonshine fools and home mixture
outlaw, which SO frequently attend
Christmas tree exhibitions. We did
not meet wi til what Cay" saw in
his mind when he wrote the following
lines: "When times comes around, a
Christmas box they bear, and one day
makes them rich, for all the rest of
the yea1.
We had no Christmas cards then,
with few words of Christmas greet
ings written on them, that did not
obtain much till the decade of 1870
