THE CHRIST.

On Tuesday the reputed ami
versary of the birth of the Christ
will be celebrated. The advent
of the Christ into the world, with
his redemptive work, in its import
ance to the individual and national
life, transcende all other facts of
history.
ReIigiously considered we do
not regard Xmas day as an especi-
ally sacred day enioining more
devotion to Him or holier living
than should characterize the life of
men on six days of each week.
BY custom it is the time for send
ing gifts to others, for merry max
ing. for family reunions, for some
special entertainment for Sunday
schools, etc. Such observances
are pleasing, innocent, helpful:
affording social privileges. and
some relaxation of business.
This day and the Xmas season
is observed by many people in
ways largely antagonistic to sacred
memories and heavenly things.
and has been deemed fit for rev
elly, dissipation and debauch.
The unbeliver, the infidel, the
scoffer may, if he so choose, di-
vorce the thought of the Christ
from such day and season, and
for such sowing he must reap;
but the man or woman who has
confessed faith in the Christ should
be careful lest he or she cruelty

"All coons look alike" to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, whether they are
white or black, Democrats or Re
publicans. In defense of his
action in discharging the three
companies of colored troops, for
refusing to make public the names
of the men who committed murder
at Brownsville, Texas, he says
that under similar circumstances
he would discharge them again,
and, if need be, he would discharge
the whole army. He approves OF

The White House, Washington,
Dec. II, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Bonaparte Some three
years ago Sheriff j. l.. Merrill OF
Carroll county, Georgia, lost his
chance for reelection by his ac-
ton in beating off a mob of sew
eral hundred white people who
were trying to take a negro out OF
Jail and put him to death. Sheriff
Merrill and deputies fired on the
mob, killing and wounding several
men and beating the others off.
Because of this he was defeated
for reelection. Congressman Adj
amson brought the matter to my
attention, saying that he hated to
see man who had done such a
service as a public official defeated
because of the very fact that he
had rendered the service lie told
me that GOV. Terrell had offered
Merrill place, the best he had to
give, which carried a salary of 500
per month. | told the congress
man | thought | could beat that

DID RIGHT.

President Roosevelt forwarded
to the Senate reasons for his dis
charge of the negro troops. who
at Brownsville, Texas, without
cause murderously assaulted white
citizens. His actions are apart
from color lines, and he assured
the Senate if this crime of murder
had been committed by the whites
punishment would have been
equally or more severe.
As before said the president did
right in this act. Really the pen
atty for such murderers should be
death.
