The Hopper, After Being Kept Ten
Years, Disappears.

After keeping frog for ten years
simply as a question of ascertaining
how long it would live, James Spence

was permitted to make the place its
home, being fed and cared for every
day.
it became a great favorite for the
patrons of the restaurant, and at a
well known whistle would come to the
hole for food or to be seen, but 1t was

which we all have to contend. The selfish

you stand by the idol for awhile

these bits Of paper. The devotee
halts in front of the image, then
scribbles prayer on scrap of pa

and hurls it at the god. If it hits
the face and sticks, the prayer is
sure to be granted and the pious
pilgram goes away happy; but if
the ball sticks to some other por-
Of the body, the omen is not quite
so propitious; and if it falls on the
ground, there is absolutely no hope

We are nearing Christmas, the
celebration Of the mightiest event
in the earth, the birth of Jesus
Christ, the worlds Savior.
lr bis birth the world was given
clear conception of a mans
worth, and real, genuine, saving
religion.
Man has never been without q
religion Of some kind, for the re-
ligious instinct is universal IN
man. Even in savage bosoms
there are yearnings, longings and
strivings for a thing they compre-
hend not. p
PIutarch says: "You may see
states without walls, laws, coins
or writings, but people without
d god aud prayer has no man
seen"
A nation of atheists has never
been known, because the universal
heart of man pants and longs for
God. Columbus once reported
the Inhabitants of Hayti to be
without any form Of religion, bat
he soon discovered his mistake
and reported 1t.
Paul gives the true status OF the
pagan world ia Rom. i: 90: "The
invisible things of Him are clearly
seen, being understood by the
things tAat are made, even bis
eternal power and Godhead; 50
that they are without excuse"
Bat while it Is true that the
world has always had q religion
indeed, many religions, in each OF
which there was more or less cf
truth IS until the birth of
Christ the world moved blindly in
its search for God.
The divineness of the human
soul, the image of its Creator,
shows through Zorastrianisr, in
its fire. worship; through Brah-
minism 10 its casts; through
Buddhism in its culture; through
Confucianism in its filial piety
and even through the religions OF
ancient Egypt. Greece and the
Norsemen, but il shows butt
slimly.
The tendency Of the nations
controlled by these religions was
toward retrogrcssion, and had no
ssher system Of religion ever been
revealed 10 man his course would
have been constantly downward.
II may be said that in material
things the states Of antiquity had
i civilization which in many re-
spects equaled the civilization Of
modern nations. Ii is true that in
art. literature, philosophy, laws
and governmental mechanism and
in military strength the Greeks
and Romans rivaled all nations.
But this high civilization, reached
by the native power Of the human

nized as objects of charity, and
now the Church of Jesus Christ
needs to recognize them as worthy
of religious attention, as Jesus
recognized them when He said,
when proving his own Messiah
ship, "the poor have the gospel
preached to them"
The gospel of Christianity is
adapted to the needs of the masses,
because it is plain and the unedu-
Gated can understand it; it is full
of sympathy so that the lowly can
appreciate 1t; it is free, or ought
to be made SO to the needy, so
that they can have it. 1t is elevat-
ing, and the humble and the bowed
down are lifted up by it, and it is
compensating so that the destitute
are requited by it.
1t is very unbecoming any one
claiming to be a Christian to turn
away from or neglect the poor,
for Jesus Christ whom we follow
was born in poverty. Through
life he had no settled home, and
after his tragic death he was buried
in a strangers grave. For ye
know the grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that though He was rich,
yet for your sakes He became
poor, that ye through his poverty
might be rich.
Christianity is adapted to the
masses, because it Is a religion of
comfort, to bind up the broken
hearted" and that is what the
masses need. Thousands Of hearts
and homes that have no other COM
forts have had the comforts of the
Christian religion.
Since mans fall sorrow and bro
ken heartedness has been the com
mon experience of most men.
Some sorrow because of diseased
bodies; some because of dis
turbed conscience or discontented
mind; and some because of their
lot in life. Parents because of the
waywardness of sons and daugh-
ters; wives because of the unmanly
life and conduct of husbands.
Bat Christianity teaches every
man that the path Of sorrow over
which men must continue to pass
has been beaten smooth by the
best that ever lived. Christ Him
self was a man of sorrows and
millions of bis followers have fol-
lowed Him 10 that way.
But the gospel tells of a time
and place where there are to be
no sorrows, and marks the con-
ditions upon which we may enter.
''And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes and there
shall be no D6ore death, neither
sorrow NOR asEiDg.'' n
Christianity isto the moral world
what the sun is to the solar system,
the center of its light, warmth and
power.
During these Christmas days,
let us seek to fill our souls and
hearts with the spirit of our
Christ, that we may join in sing
ing,
AN hail the power Of Jesus name,
Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord Of all"

the angels of heaven who hat
looked for ages upon the despair
ing humanity Of this earth, praised
God as great multitude, wher
they saw Jesus leave His Father
hrone and start upon a mission
here. No wonder that they ex
claimed, as they saw Him touch

carried over into the Christian re-
ligion, but every principle which
