Good News For Lamar.

It will undoubtedly be pleasing ne ws
to our amusement-going people to know
that The Peerless Boston Entertainers
will give a return engagement here
Tuesday night, August 4th. at the opera
house. Upon their last visit here they
were practically unknown,but those who
attended the performance with one ac-
cord proclaimed it to be the cleanest
and one OF the most pleasing perform
ances given here the past season.
However, it may be added that the
Boston Entertainers have been greatly
strengthened for their Pacific Coast
tour. and it is this new combination
which our people will have an oppor-
tunity Of seeing and hearing. Since
their last visit these clever and talented
entertainers have appeared in the lead
ing opera houses OF the state, and the
unanimous sentiment, as expressed by
the papers, is that they are deserving OF
the crowded houses accorded them at
almost every place. There will be no
increase in prices, the range being %,
35 and so cents. Remember the date
and arrange to attend.

exceptional celebrations in reality
strengthen the observance of the Ma

The Eastern church celebrated for
a time their Epiphania on Jan. 6. But
the Epiphania was not the Natahs.
The festival is still held on Jan. 6 as
the Epiphany, or Manifestation of
Christ to the GeHtiles in the person
of the Magi, or Wise Men, through the
interpOsition of a star. The fact that
there was a hesitancy on the part of
some in accepting Dec. 25. and a con-
troversy among others, and then the
final adherence Of the whole Eastern

date was not blindly accepted. The

of the whole and undivided church
make us as certain as anything can
short of mathematical demonstration,
Of the correctness of Dec. 25 as the
true date of the Nativity.
But l presume the most convincing
OF all arguments will be allowed to
be this: On the Cross Our Lord com
mitted the care of His blessed Mother
to His beloved disciple, ST John. She
spent the closing years of her life at
st. Johns home. The Nativity was
celebrated many times during her life
time. 1t is absolutely inconceivable
that the birth of her son could be cele-
hrated with her knowledge and con-
sent on a wrong date. If never before,
she must have spoken to st. John
after the ascension of the night and
incidents of the birth of Him they
both loved SO well. 1t is inconceiv-
able that st. John could have cele-
brated the Nativity on any other than
the day of birth. st. John had a dis
ciple well known in history, Polycarp,
bishop of Smyrna. He celebrated the
Nativity, and it is inconceivable that
he whose boast it was that what he
delivered he received from st. John,
could observe the Nativity on any
other than the correct date. Now,
Polycarp had disciple named Ireneus,
and Ireneus claims that he delivered
the doctrines and customs as he re-
ceived them from st. Polycarp and
others. This Ireneus was made bishop
of Lyons. and delivered to the Chris
tians there the customs he had re-

the Wise Men, or Magi, to Jeru-
salem. afforded another basis for
calculation. The celebrated as
tronomer, Kepler, who 1ourished in
the end of the sixteenth and beginning
of the seventh century, found there
was a conjunction of the three planets,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. in the sign
Pisces, which is the sign Of Judea, in
A. u. c. 748. This conjunction he as
sumed to be the Star of Bethlehem,
and accordingly fixed the year of
Christ's birth at the date OF the con-
junction. Other calculations on the
same basis followed by such astron-
omers as Ideler, Wieseler, Pritchard,
etc. Wieseler arrived at the date $50
A. U. c., or B. c. 4.
But if there are slight differences
and consequent doubt in the exact
was horn, there appears to be no
doubt as to the day of the month on
which the miraculous event occurred.
viz, Dec. 25.
That the day was observed from
the very first is beyond question
not universally observed, however.
But the exceptions do not in the least
invalidate the date of Dec. 25. It is
true that the local churches Of Pales-
