Christmas is past, the yule log has burned to ashes, the tree has been stripped of it's glamor and glory, the keepsakes have been slowed away in sWeet-scented drawers and boxes, the Christ mas cakes and candies have full filled their sweet mission and gone to contribute to the future prosperity of the doctor and the druggist; the sweet kisses and kind wishes of the season of good will have been sown in the heart gardens of loving friends and neighbors, to be cherished and nourished to the betterment of humanity.
 Yes, it is past, this year, gone forever, to help make up the cycle of eternity. But the feel ing, the joy, the beauty, the in- fluence, the lessons of gladness and of sorrow, of sunshine and of shadow remain, to grow into and make a part of our lives-of ourselves. And if it seems to some of us that this year has held more of grief than of glad ness, let us remember that the large hand that doled out our portion to us has for all beyond the dark valley some better thing in store, when our race has been run, our course finished.
 Lucien Warner, of Hoxie, was in the city Wednesday. Mrs. J. T. Craft and son Tom, of Wynne, are visiting relatives and friends in the city the past week.

Not So Bad as Reported.

Attorney w. s. Wright has re- turned from Jonesboro, says the Batesville Guard, where he was called as counsel for Frank Browning, who is in jail at that place upon the charge of mur- der, for the killing of Operator Midkiff, of the Iron Mountain at Hoxie, last week. Mir. Wright states that the case against Browning is not as bad as the first reports sent out would make it appear, but that Midkiff had assaulted Browning and elected him from the depot before the shooting occurred.

 THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH.
 The home of Mary his mother was the little town of Nazareth in Galilee, but Micah, the pro- phet, (5:2) about 750 B. C., pre- dicted that he would be born in Bethlehem of Judah, about 75 miles south of Nazareth.
 Caesar Augustus, emperor of Rome, desired to have an en- rolment of all his subjects. Herod desired that all Jewish subjects be enrolled in their own cities. Both Joseph and Mary were of the tribe of David (see Matt. i. and Luke iii.), and Bethlehem was the birthplace of David. See Gods purpose work ing through all agencies, though they knew it not!
 PRACTICAL: This child of Bethlehem, lineal descendant of David, son of God, is Gods ap- pointed ruler of this world ("For he hath put all things under his feet" l Cor. XIV. 27), and every mans destiny is dependent upon his attitude towards this same Jesus. The angels were glad and made heaven ring with their praises at his birth, the wise men came from the east and worshipped him.
 Reader, God, moved by un- speakable love, gave his son, and you must do something with him. You must accept or reject him. The issue must be made. There was no room for him in the inn! Is.there room in your heart for him?
 'Thou didst leave thy throne
 and thy kingly crown,
 When thou earnest to earth
 for me,
 But in Bethlehem's home there
 was found no room
 For thy holy nativity. Oh, come to my heart, Lord
 Jesus!
 There is room in my heart for
 thee!"

The International Sabbath !,
 School Lessons, 1906. {

INIT. Vdnuyke ndVlIlg UeeIl klIlu enough to furnish me space for comments on the weekly Sab- bath School Lessons for 1906, l am inaugurating the work in this issue of the paper by giving the American Revised Transla- tion and some comments that l trust may be of some service to the readers of the Independent.
 R. B. WILLIS.
 The Text: (Luke ii. 1-2O. ) Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was gov ernor of Syria. And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David: to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. And it came to pass while they were there the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son; and she wrapped him in swad- ding clothes and laid him in a manager, because there was no room for them in the inn.
 And there were shepherds in the same country, abiding in the field and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold 1 bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manager. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men.
 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us. And they came with haste and found both Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in manager. And when they saw it, they made known concerning the say ing which was spoken to them about the child. And al that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them. ,,.~.-.... FHE TIME OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS.
 We know that he was born while Herod was yet King and that Herod died soon after the birth of Jesus, Herod died in April, 750 years after the found- ing of the city of Rome. About 1900 years ago a Roman abbot placed the birth of Jesus in the year of Rome 754. This fixed our era, A. D., 4 years later then the birth of Christ, so that our present date is really 1910. in-

LEGITIMATE AGENCIES EXEMPT
Committee of Women Fighting Only
Illegal Employment Bureaus.

The household research committee Of
the Public Educational Association reports
that the organization raises no issue
against any employment agency doing a
legitimate business, but that emphatic
protest is made against the issuance of
licenses to self-confessed lawbreak akers
ard criminals.
This statement was made as the result
of the report of the private conference
held Wednesday with Commissioner West
In which the members Of the committee
called attention to the fact that certain
agencies are doing more questionable
work than finding legitimate employment
for girls
The movement was started from the fact
that TIE ladies who compose the associa-
tion realized that nurses and nursery
EOverncsSes, and even cooks and house
maids, come In close contact with chill
dren. and if they have been subjected to
the evil influences found % exist in some
Of the agencies they cannot but have
bad effect on the children. II was this
feeling that resulted In the passage by
Congress Of the public act No. 245. regu-
lating the employment agencies in the Dis
trict
This act states specifically that "the
Commissioners OF the District Of Colum-
bia must be satisfied that the applicant
is person of good general character" q"
and for this reason the members Of the
committee believe they have made a good
case against the agencies in question.
