taught. and hls early disciples pui lbe idea into practical application by holding lher possessions in common
 That was 50 far as they grasped the Divine conception The world has long since grown away from the communistic idea adopted and practiced by the early Christians, but 1t has grown, and is still grow ing in the broader and greater idea of q community of interest in which all will be better served by being all we'll served. Under that idea relative poverty IS not and perhaps cannot be entirely oblit- erated, and great wealth still con- tinues to be in evidence, yet the poorest to-day are as comfortable as were the fairly well to do of the ante-Christian era; and so ne of the greatest fortunes of modern times-and of all time--have been accumulated in the service of that very community of interest: those acquired in transportation for in- stance, to which could be added long list. And to day the kings of the mining world, while living in a luxury unknown by the Phar- aohs, and serving with their prod ucts the entire world, no longer wax wealthy upon the tears and sweat of thousands of suffering slaves, but. their enterprises are conducted and manned by those in whom are recognized the same image of God that they bear them- selves; and they give to the service the test there is in them, because they feel they are working for the common interest, in which they have part; while that best in them is far better than the best wrung from dying slave under  the urging of the lash.
 When the thoughtful mind sur veys all these benefits to mankind that have followed from the Christ life upon earth, nearly two thous- land years ago it readily admits the Divine mission of the Son of Man, and with each recurrence of the anniversary Of his birth it cheer fully unites in the greeting.
 "A MERRY CHRIsTMAs''.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Throughout all the world man. kind will gather tonight about the manager of Bethlehem, rejoicing over the advent upon earth of that Heaven Sent Babe" who became within the compass of very short life time the greatest, and wisest, and best and most noble of all men.
 This evening all eyes will be turned toward that mysterious Star of Bethlehem" which lighted on their way to the Celestial Cradlen the Wise Men of the East, which refulgent Star, expanding and extending with the lapse of the ages, has been during long centuries a blazing sun, lightin g the nations along their destined courses.
 Tomorrow the world will joyous ly observe the natal anniversary of the most sublime character in all history, whose advent upon earth has marked an epoch that has wit- messed the growth of mankind, as a whole, in grace, in humility, in charity, in honor, in decency, in virtue-in fact in all the amenities and good qualities of civilization.
 Growth has been slow, and man. kind are yet groping blindly to- ward the light; but nevertheless 1t has been steadily forward, and 1t has been a development of all the people.
 1t is true that before the dawn of the Christian Era there had been great and splendid civilizations, and men had penetrated some Of the most carefully guarded secrets of Nature wrestling from her jealous grasp the keys to their operation and applied those operations to the uses of man. But Is was for the enrichment, and aggrandizement- and the ease of the few, and the common people had not lot or part therein. Christ taught that the fruits of the earth were for all, and that all had right to a just share. No matter how far from that healthy doctrine men may depart nere and there, 1t Is the very foun- dation of our modernlChristian civ ilization; and all civilized govern ments bend their best energies to- ward securing its observance. Gov ernments have learned that the good health, comfort, convenience and happiness of the masses is the best condition for all, and to their

tlon of those entrusted with Che administration of government, while Co the same great end thous- ands of the great men and women of earth, who aspire Co no voice in government, also bend their en- ergies. The great central truth promulgated by Christ, and up to which he led the thoughts of others was that in all society there is a community of interest that cannot be overlooked or neglected without serious harm to all It has taken the world long ages to grasp and make practical application of that great doctrine; and it is yet a long way from its full and complete practical application; but 1t has made and is still making giant strides in that direction. Some day the Kingdom of Heaven" taught by Christ will be realized here upon earth. Some nations are now much nearer the realiz- ation than others, but all have still long way to go.
 As hereinbefore asserted in the time of Christ, and through the ages preceding, the great and splendid civilizations were for the few, and the masses had no lot therein save the utmost degreda- ton and severest toll. Within the present year THE OAsIs has pres ented an account, taken from well known mining journal, of the method pursued by the kings of ancient Egypt to secure gold from their mines, which were all prop erty of the crown. Men and women alike, half starved and naked were driven under the lash all their waking hours at the most severe toil, many of them dying under the rigor of the treatment, to dig the ore and extract therefrom the precious metal for the use of the king. Contrast with that the con- dition of the workers in any modern mining camp. All well housed, we'll clad, well fed; hours of labor reasonable with ample time for rest and recreation; gymnasiums, reading rooms, libraries, schools for their children, good hospitals, and the best scientific medical at tendance for all. The conditions in the mines of the kings of Egypt were the conditions in mines all the world over. The conditions in the great mining camps at Cana nea, Bisbee, Anaconada, and all other modern mines are the Christ idea put into practical application. To-day we rail at the hard heart edness and grasping greed of our twenthieth century kings of fin anee. But are they not far sup erior to the kings of finance at whom Christ railed?
 In thousand ways have the growth and application of the

hall q day Atu well where fhe party stopped ior water the servanls engaged in conversation with the man in charge, who was from their own part of the country. some three hundred miles away He asked about q brother and heard for the first time that the man had been dead three years. No American or English workingman, how ever humble, nor how great distance would have gone three years with out being informed of a personal loss so great. To most of them a pittance out of a days wage would have conveyed the intelligence by telegraph, and it would have been received within a few hours after the sad occurrence. The condition of the Indian servants was the common condition in the time of Christ. The common people lived suffered and died in abject ignor- anee, want and misery; and if sep arated by chance but few miles, those nearest and dearest knew not of the lives or deaths of one another, save by some such word as above described, dropped by a passing stranger. To-day the poor est has at his command the service of the magnetic telegraph, and when he desires he daily receives the news of all the world, and can pay for the sheet what was the wage Of the day laborer in the time of Christ.
 Again, at the dawn of the Chris tian Era-and for that matter cen- turies after--locomotion except upon foot was denied all save the wealthy and their servants. To- day the most rapid and luxurious locomotion Is within the reach of all. The mechanic and laborer ride in an electric car from their homes to their work in the morn- ing, and likewise return at night. Men travel by steam hundreds of miles to find employment in the grain fields of Kansas and Ne braska, and when the harvest is over return to their homes, with money sufficient to support them in ease and comfort several months, the reward of their labor; when in the time of Christ, and long ages after, the pittance earned in sea- son by a harvest hand would not have transported him to the nearest city, had he employed ano- ther mode of locomotion save that provided him by nature. All these modern blessings and improvements in the conditions of the common people are the result of develop ment through the ages of the Christ idea-the community of all interests. That was what He
