Lew Docksader Tells Tall Story of Lad Who Fell
Into the River.

Last season Lew Dockstader had
three little pickaninnies with his min
strel company. They took part in one
of the big acts. and it was absolutely
necessary that they should appear at
every performance.
The boys were regular little imps, and
kept Lew in hot water all the time.
They were always getting into mischief,
and threats and persuasions had no ef-
feet on them. There was no use in i'm
posing a fine en- them for their mischief,
inasmuch as they did not receive any
salary, their earnings being all sent to
support their aged mother in Atlanta,
Ga. Threats of whppings only made the
boys laugh, as they knew there was no
cne in the company who could admin
ister punishment severe enough to hurt
them. Lew was in despair and for "a
time was seriously considering cutting
the act out of the program, as they were
so unmanageable that they threatened
to disrupt his company
After playing weeks engagement In
one of the larger cities Lew noticed
that the habits ofHhe boys seemed to
improve While they had been in that
CITY they had been placed IN boarding
house kept by a very religious lady. and
evidently she had worked on the feelings
of the, boys, for they actually trled 10

Lew was so overjoyed at the sudden
reformation of the boys that he spoke
TO them one day about it One of the
kids said:

now, kase we know DAT if we don't be

spokesman said.

the Good Man will take care OF us -
But why don't you pray in the morn

one of the kids; but for fear that some

SAVAGE sUSTAINs ABBOTT.

Noted Minister Declares Every Mother A
Madonna, Every Birth Divine.
Rev. Minot j. Savage, in his Christmas
sermon in the Church of the Messiah, New
FORK aStonlshed the congregation that
crowded the church by announcing views
that upheld in many particulars the present
ment made by Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott in
university. He particularly emphasized
DIR. Abbott's contention that God is every
where, in and through and of everything as
the Brooklyn divine said. But Mr.. Savage
went step further than DR.. Abbott; he
declared that the idea of the Virgin birth,
the incarnation. was taken from pagansm
lie said, too, that every mother was a Ma
donna and every man possessed divine ele-
ments. In brief, he commended that God
put himself into every living creature, and
that each one contained as much of God as
was possible for each to hold He added:
For good many hundred years, this
10Th day OF December has been set apart to
celebrate the supposed fact of the Virgins
birth OF the child, and the further supposed
fact that through that birth God himself
came into humanity-came into the world
This was not the original idea of this cele-
bration. This is much older than Christian
lty, and is born out of interested emotions
that are human. 1t was many years after
the birth of Jesus before anybody thought
Of his being other than an ordinary man,
Inc WHole luea OF tne virgin birth and the
incarnation is pagan in its origin, and it
was centuries before the church united
upon any special day, even for celebration
of the coming of Jesus into the world.
81 propose this morning to turn away
from the ordinary conception of Christmas
ana speak Of something which | believe to
be deeper, higher, wider and more divine.
Every birth is divine birth every mother
is Madonna. If you think of it a moment
you will notice that the deepest, highest,
most universal fact in the universe is that
OF sex; and as life evolves and grows to its
higher forms and expressions this fact is
emphasized more and more
eff, then, there is anything in life that we
nave a right to suppose expressed the
thought, the life, the feeling of God, it must
be this; it seems to me, therefore, have
said it before and have been criticised in
certain quarters for saying 1t, but wish to
say it again and to ask you to think Of it
most seriously-tO-day that virgin birth is
h0iier than that which God has universally
ordained seems to me to be reflection on
every mother not only, but reflection on
God himself; for certainly. that which he
mas made central and universal in all of US,
from the lowest to the highest, can not be
impure. can not be unholy, can not be less
sacred than some supposed unnatural
method by which his own ordained laws
are contravened and set aside"
