~ HE world was full of strife, contention and
conflict when the Prince of Peace was born;
and there was little thought of Him in the
busy marts of trade and the equally busy schools
of philosophy. Sin was everywhere and moral deg
radiation, and though men of deep thought looked
hither and thither for Redeemer no one thought
of Bethlehem as the place OF His birth. 1t was too
humble,> too poor, too unknown, not spoken of in
the palace Of the Caesars, nor discussed in the
schools of Athens. And yet Bethlehem was the
source of joy, peace and redemption.
Today likewise, the world is full Of strife and
contention, and, upon the hilltops OF DESIRE many
prophet shades his eyes and looks into the world
for peace and redemption and can find none, nor
hope for any, The source is hidden from the gaze
of the worldly.
Peace! Peace Who or what will give us
peace? Is it knowledge, or power, or wealth, or
empire? All these have been found wanting, and
never was the world so conscious of the fact. God

Tho sale Of this property has caused
much comment, It is declared. When it
became noised about that the Northmin-
ster property was for sale several bids
were received. That Of the Cosmopolitan
Temple congregation was s25, 900; another
bid was from Mr.. Charles Fraser Of the
Armenian Church of $4,000 and a third
from residents Of the neighborhood OF
$4,000. the last-named bid was made
by property owners who were opposed to
the property passing into the hands Of
the colored church.

"In our desire to be neighborly and to
do what was best for every one concerned,
We formally rejected the offer OF $4,000
from the colored church. This left US
with but one proposition to be considered,

was accepted. Before the final papers

to DR.. Fraser there was nothing whatever
to prevent the church property from be-

time to take action, which they failed
to do, we sold to DR.. Fraser, believing
that he would use the property for his

A 8 q preventive against the repetition
"a of massacres Of converts and mis-
4 = sionaries in China, Hal Chen, a
Chinese Christian, has proposed that
all those in China who uphold that
religion form Chinese Christian as
ISOLATION and establish one head and
a governing board. which shall have
absolute control there. He wants the
head to be a native, and suggests the APP
pointment by the pope Of a Chinese car
dinal to take that position. This native
head will conduct all negotiations with
the Picking dynasty, it is proposed, and
no outside powers will be allowed to in
terfere.
In the course of the petition containing
his proposals, which he sent to the for
eign Office of China, he gives his reasons
as follows:
The causes Of the religious troubles
which have been SO numerous in this en-
pire and placed the country in such a
critical condition. we find. are largely due
to the protection of the churches in China
being entirely in the hands of the for
eigners. The two Observation-Disclosures
and Roman Embellishments now preva-
lent throughout this empire, but their
propagation is, however, not under our
control. and the ignorant people are un-
conscious of what the foreign religions
are, and consequently no doubt harbor
suspicious against them. This has caused
trouble between the foreign converts and
non-C Christian peoples, and they persecute
each other on small provocation. The
district officials are mostly inexpert. in
holding to the right and proper princi-
pies when settling the quarrels Of the
two peoples. and in most cases they either
give partial protection to the non-Chris-
tian Chinese or show special and unjust
favor to the foreign followers, and SO the
two peoples are caused to hate each other
more and more. Much more serious cases
are always liable to take place.

and peace were the dominant notes of the first
Christmas chorus. The angels said, Behold, l
bring you good tidings of great JOY. Glory to God
in the highest and on earth peace" What was the
inspiration of this heavenly ecstasy that heavenly
confines could not contain, becoming audible to
the shepherds of Bethlehem? Heaven has given
to earth eternitys most costly and precious Christ
mas gift. No wonder heavens Joy and peace
flowed over Why the pre-eminent JOY and peace
of Christmas in every country and age? We are
placing the emphasis upon giving instead of re-
ceivng. Two reflections upon the Christmas spirit.
Let us make the needy the special recipients of
our gifts-and earth's joy and peace will overflow
to heaven. Let us carry the Christmas spirit
throughout the year, placing the primary emphasis
upon giving, and JOY and peace will be universal
and eternal.
