CHRISTMAS AND HOME.

By Henry F. Cope.
"And they came with haste and found
Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying
in a manger."-Luke 2 Is.
A new day dawned for u world
| when the center of religion passed from
q temple t. a home, from the awesome
| priest, as a leader, to the little child.
| Then religion came nearer to us, be-
| came of our hearts and our w
| bosoms, a real part Of our daily lives,
bound with our purest pleasures, as
| common as household thoughts n as
sweet.
Since the birth of q child marked n
new era in the spiritual history Of the
| race, every birth has had a new signif-
| canoe. We have come to realize that
| each child is born not SO muc into a
| world of sin and sorrow as into the
| family Of the Father Of us all and into
| the right to love and peace and joy,
| into a world of growing good will.
Christmas tide serves to remind us
| how the best in all the religious as
about the things most simple. The
stories we retail at this season are not
about heroes and kings, not of magnif-
cent and impressive ceremonies in vast
temples; they are of a village mother
and her new born babe, Of a lowly
dwelling, and Of humble shepherds.
The heart Of Christmas lies there in
the founding of a home. An obscure
cattle shed, a father whose heart Is
torn with pride and anguish. and a
mother suffused with joy that a man
is born into the world. while her face
is filled with a peace and light that
give a heavenly radiance to the strange
scene. How happens it that the eyes
Of faith have been centered here for
centuries, that, so commonplace an In
cident is of so great significance?
Pain and love, sacrifice, service and
joy-these make the home and these
make religion. Never is faith so simple.
so apprehensible to us all as when it is

contrast with the good dreSscrs OF the

Strangely enough. these good dresserS
Of punctilious habit were more often

NV sympathies were with Porter in his
famous controversy with Pope, and |
think most men who met him personal
" were on his side of the case. The
splendid physique and fine eyes, the
nIasterful poise Of the man and his IN
sistent courtesy won men to his way OF
thinking.
My loyalty to him received a hard
blow on one occasion, and l have never
been able to get away from the impress
sion that a few honestly spoken SEN
fences left upon my mind. In the early
days Of the rope campaign in Vir-
GINA a warm friend Of mine, n general
officer. by the way, who was as tall as
Porter, as winning in his manner n
as masterful in his bearing, was return
ing from Washington to his COM
mand in the field. He stopped at Por-
ter's headquarters for Il short time,
heard the conversation among the Off
GERS coming and going. II without
making himself known as Porter was
absent he took the train for the next
station. There We're probably twenty
officers of various grades on the train.
One Of these came to the seat occupied
by my friend and sat down by his side.
"He opened a conversation at once,
as If well acquainted and proceeded to
say that if the general did not Interfere

cussed were carried out, General Pope

it became apparent to my friend that
the officer thought he was speaking to
General Porter. The conversation was
Of the most confidential character and
1t revealed enough to show that there
was intrigue against General Pope;
that there was among Porter's officers
a disposition to let Pope save himself.
As soon as he OWNED that the officer
was talking to him in the belief that he
was General Porter, my friend turned
and said, 4 beg your pardon, but I I'M
not General Porter The officer gave
him a sharp look, stood .on his feet,
made a stiff salute and walked way.
'sMy friend told me this story. not to
cool my ardor, not to prejudice me
against Fitzjohn Porter, but to show
me that among Porter's intimates there
was resentment against Pope and a dis
position not to help him by earnest CO.
operation. My friend carried the secret
to his grave. During his life he never
entered into the controversy on one
side or the other, but he felt to the last
that some Of the best officers in the
army Of the Potomac were dangerously
near a conspiracy to prevent the sue
