Oh, the turkeys and plum-puddings
and other eatibles, Mr.. Editor, that
testified by thousand signs OF plenty

Sins Of Omission.

TIE Herald is often taken to task for
failing to give due prominence to GER
tain acts and especially to certain
actors.
We plead guilty. Not that in the
conduct Of the paper we have enemies
to punish or friends to reward, but a.
the range Of our vision is limited AZ
well as that Of our hearing. We can
not hope to see or hear Of all that hap
pens even in our immediate surround
ings. And then, we may differ from
others as to what is really prominenl
in act as well as actor, and these things
must be determined by ourselves and
not by others,
The columns Of the paper are open
to those who may differ with us, how
ever and we will be always glad tC
} hear from them on subjects Of specia
OF general interest.

have a hearing. The Herald Is adj

The Rev. Mr.. VIM, OF the Methodist
church, preached on last Sunday night,
and a noble sermon. 1t was based on
the cheerful words addressed to Chris

could have listened to that sermon
without feeling quickened sense OF
Gods goodness. "All things" all
preachers, all teachers, all masters OF
art and literature, all nature, death It,
self and all things TO come. And for
the reason, Eye are Christs." We feel
