A Book Accident.

When NJ. Henri, quaint and shabby
miser of threescore and ten. died In
Paris some time ago, the closest search
for treasure revealed nothing more val
liable than two shelves of dingy look
ing books, which were sold. with his
few sticks of furniture, to pay his flu
neral expenses. When the buyer of the
books examined his purchase he discOv-
cred to his amazement two volumes of
rare value-absolutely unique In the
whole history OF books-every page in
each Of them consisting of five pound
sterling note of the Bank Of England
In all there were 500 pages. a neat &C
cident of $20,500.

tian era pagan Europe, in all its tribes and
peoples, had celebrated its chief festival. So
here we have the double truth of the golden
age and the rebirth Of the unconquered sun,
as he breaks the power of darkness, refined
and enriched in the Christian teaching of
peace on earth and good will to men," as
coincident with the rising of the Sun OF
Righteousness in the birth into the world of
the son of the peasant woman who was also
the Son Of God.
This view of Christmas accentuates the
true place OF the Christian religion in relation
to the ancient and deep-seated religions which
preceded it, and at the same time reveals
beauty of development in its elimination as
the completed manifestation of God to man.
In the infancy of the race the winter sostice
was everywhere a season Of rejoicing. No
matter what the peculiar form which 1t as
sumed, 1t expressed the world joy of the time.
So the very idea of the Child God which gives
Christmas its meaning may not only have been
foretold by syb and seer and prophet but
prefigured by the infant gods Of the Greek and
Egyptian and Hindu and Buddhist forms OF
religion.

"Yule" of "Merrie England" is the old Teu'
tonic name of the religious festival of the win
ter solstice, during which Celt and Roman
could trace the movements of their deities as
they walked abroad in the world.
The Story Christmas Tells.
The Christian religion is not merely some
thing built over the old ethnic religions as the
church of st. Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome is
built over the ruins Of the old heather temple
of Minerva, or as the grove sacred to Adonis
was planted by the order of the Emperor Had
rian over 1.-THE cave close to the village" which
is now honored as the scene of the Saviour's
birth. 1t had larger and deeper meaning
Christmas tells the story of gradual but
complete unfolding of the divine idea of relig
ion as seen in the Christ Child, Of its worship
and its merry making in its at once sacred
and social feast.
The story is told simply but graphically by
two of the four evangelists st. Marks gospel
begins with the baptism of the Christ, so log
ically he had no need to tell the story of his
birth and boyhood. st. John wrote near the
close of the first century, and with the domi-
nant idea of setting forth the divinity OF
Christ in opposition to the prevailing gnosti-

conceptions Of the d.
vine may have been the
rude but honest efforts
of the earlier days OF the
human race to group the
idea of a Goldman which
has been made so real
and so full of JOY to us
in the Nativity and the
Epiphany of the Christ.
In this sense the early
church may have been
wiser than she wot Of.
Her aim was to select
the best features of the
heather feasts and en-
body them for their puri-
fication in Christian
practices and sacred
rites and to wean the
converts from their old
superstitions to the
deeper and more real
truths of the Christian
faith.
But in so doing she
may have been the I'M
conscious instrument of
a divinely guided evolu-
ton in religious practice
and belief which has en-
nobled and enriched the
world. The symbolism
of our Christmas today
certainly lends itself in
many ways to this point
of view. In the greenery
with which we deck our
houses and churches and
in the gift-laden fir trees
which gladden. our chill
dren's hearts. we still re-
tain the symbols by
which our heather fore
fathers signitied their
faith in the power of re-
turning sun to clothe the
earth with. green and

trees. The Christmas
carol may be a new
birth of the hymns of

IS GIVEN TO WEBB
Negro Found Guilty of Assault
On Mrs. Exa Blown and Will
Be Executed On September the
Seventeenth.

Willard Webb. the negro who assaulted
Mrs. Exa Brown at her home near Vim

the crime as indicted by the jury in the
superior court at Marietta Wednesday
evening Directly after the verdict had
been announced. Judge y. A. Morris SEN
fenced the negro to be executed Sep
TENDER II.
The trial of Webb consumed two days
and was held during a special term OF
the court called by Judge Morris for the
purpose. The negro was given a fair
and impartial trial and had the benefit
of able and experienced attorneys. These
lawyers made a strong fight for the life
of their client and at one time there was
thought to be some doubt of conviction
by the jury, although those familiar with
the case believed there was no doubt of
the negro's guilt.
Soon after the sentence was pronounc-
ed. Sheriff Mckinney and three deputies
placed the negro on the electric car and
brought him 10 Atlanta where he was put
in the Fulton county Jail for safe keep

DENTISTS TO WAGE
WAR ON PYORRHOEA
Atlanta Association of Dentists
Will Meet to Discuss Gum Dis
ease That Afflicts 30 Per Cent
of Atlantians.
''Pyorrhoea alveoIaris."

-HyOrrnOea aiNSOjaTlS.
This is the engaging subject that will be
discussed next Friday evening in the as
sembly room of Carnegie library by the
Atlanta association of dental surgeons.
1t should not lie inferred from the name
that the dentists are up to any dark con-
spiracy. Pyorrhea alveolaris is neither an
Internal machine, a monster nor a new
brand of dynamite. 1t is simply an old
disease Of the gums which 81 coming to
receive new and particular attention from
the profession.
For all you know, you yourself may at
this moment hav, the distinction of hav-
ing pyorrhoea alveolaris Nearly 30 per
cent of Atlantians probably have It, 1t is
a disease which causes the teeth gradual
ly to loosen and drop out before they
have decayed. Literally. 1t means flow
of puss about the gums. 1t is painless
and slow in it's beginning and therefore
works its havoc almost unaware to the
patient. II comes from not taking prop
er care of the mouth.
The Atlanta association of dentists
have established the practice OF meeting
every month to study and exchange views
on matters concerning teeth. 1t is one Of
the most progressive bodies of its kind
in the United States, and is doing much
toward the perfection of dental surgery
and kindred subjects. The discussion Fri
day evening will be led by DR.. NJ. D.
Hun. ,
