You must thank God especially for

Saviour. You must thank God that he
has surrounded YOU this Christmas
with Il great host OF people who. like
the wise men Of the east aud the shep-

his love You must thank God for
your trials and sorrows. by which your
heart has been made more tender to
him and TO your fellow men. II Is

whence these streams come. The birds
baihe their wings In the mountain
brooks, and as they bathe they lift
their voices and sing their praises UNI
10 the God who has sent those brooks

may we lift our voices on this Christ

one of which was mad, David Stein
feldt, official dog catcher Of Montclair
and other suburban places, has at
tracted the attention of the Pasteur In

DR.. F. r.. Jackson, of the institute,
went to Montclair yesterday and made
a scientific examination of Steinfeldt.
DR.. Jackson now wants the dog catcher
to go to the institute so that the sur
geons can make a special study of his
condition.
DR.. Jackson made a,close examination
of the alleged bitten The sur
geon inspected the scars on Steinfeldt's
body. took a record of his heart action
and noted his temperature.
Steinfeldt recently announced at the
time of the tragic death of DIR. Marsh
In Flatpush from rabies, that he would
allow himself to be bitten by a mad
dog in order to prove that one could
not take hy~drophobia from the bite of
the animal. 1t was this statement and
the knowledge that Steinfeldt has been
bitten so often thai prompted the Pas
teur Institute to inquire into his case.
-Steinfeldt has not yet decided wheth-
err he will visit New York to undergo
scrutiny at the institute, as he fears

the surgeons If he places himself in
