The evil power to quell;

To match the cunning, dare the rage,
OF Satan, Prince of He'll"
This serves to introduce Satan, who
wears a very long tail made OF fire.
crackers. Putting the devil into hell
requires much time, the industrious
effort of the apostles and shepherds
giving occasion for many introductions
of humor. When Lucifer and his imps
are finally banished Satan's tail is set
on fire and his wild antics furnish up
roarious amusement. Another comic
character is the shepherd Barthol-
omew, a ridculously sleepy fellow who
can not shake off his drowsiness. The
other shepherds, including a comic
cook beg him to wake up and worship
the Chrlst-child, but he has some
sleepy-headed excuse each time. At
| last the shepherds take him up bodily
and deposit him before the altar. They
drop him, not too gently, and a bright
illumination of celestial glory falls
about him, a combination that wakes
him up to his religious duties. Other
characters represent almost every
prominent name in Biblical history,
Including Mary, Joseph, Belzebub, and
other devils, the archangel Michael
and other archangels and angels,
Moses, Noah, the three wise men, and
sometimes such modern personages
as Thomas A. Beckett, Pope Leo XIII,
and Isabel the Catholic. The weary
wandering of Mary and Joseph from
door to door in search of shelter in
Bethlehem, the birth of Christ, the
angels chorus announcing it to the
shepherds in the fields, their journey
and that of the wise men of the East
guided by the star of Bethlehem, are
set forth in detail. Always hosts Of
angels and devils hover about the
scene and have bitter controversies
over every imaginable point of differ
ence. The devils are, of course, dis
comfited and finally driven out in dis
grace.

SAFE INVESTMENT FOR YOU
Rare Opportunity Presents Itself to
Bryan People Who Have
Money to Spare.

In the building OF the railroad into
the fertile district CT the Brazos bot
tom and the sale of bonds for this pur-
pose, an opportunity for good and
safe Investment is presented that is
seldom found in a town of Bryan's
size The importance of the project,
the absolute safety OF the investment
and the great need Of such an enter
prise are plainly apparent to all think
ing people, but there is one side of the
question. that perhaps has not been
seen in its true light. To those who
have money to invest there is condi-
ton that should be recognized. With
the fast increase OF wealth it can
easily be seen that it will only be
short while until investments that are
both safe and lucrative will be fewer
than at present, Five years age invest
ments could be had that would bring
s per cent. Today per cent is con-
sidered a good average, and the nat
ural consequence will be that in
short while per cent money will go
begging.
Now is the time for the investor to
place his idle money in an enterprise
at home where he can watch it grow
and see its operation. Bryan men are
behind the project and will push it
forward to success. One business man
stated to the reporter today that if the
value of his home was the last money
needed for the enterprise he would
sell and invest his money in the rail-
road bonds.
1t is for you, for Bryan and for the
material growth of the entire county.

/ means that they must learn their parts
by note. Everything is chanted. The
shepherds carry crooks, upon which
are hung various tinkling instruments,
and as the shepherds lift and drop
them upon the wooden floor they pro.
duce a monotonous jingle that keeps
time to the simple tune to which they
recite the history of the birth Of
Christ. Sometimes a tableau OF Mary,
the Christ-child, Joseph and the wise
men is seen, the setting being a sta
BILE stall and often a couple of don
keys are tied by the manger. The
deep religious instinct of these simple
Mexican folk causes many times the
display of great emotion and real
tears. In no sense Is there any irrev-
erence attached to the comic relief of
the funny" characters.
When the shepherds kneel at the
altar they lay at the feet of the Christ
child their most priced possessions.
These gifts include little baskets, rib
bons, cakes, wild honey-comb, a game
called perinola, a lamb las white as
snow" and sometimes a cradle to
rock the infant Savior to sleep.
In a lullaby exquisite in its tender
simplicity the finale comes when the
shepherds bid the Christ-child fare
well:
"Hush-a-bye, my little son,
Hush-a-bye. my heart of gold;
Softly slumber, little one,
The night is dark and the winds blow
cold.
Hush-a-bye, baby, sleep all night,
The shepherds watch thee with de-
light;
S-h! S-h! Blinking owl, from willow
shoot,
Thou Wakest my DaDy with thy moot.
In addition to the Pastores, the al
tar of the Christ-child is erected in
every Mexican home. 1t is covered
with cloth canopy, from which hangs
every fruit and flower, and also i'm
ages of angels and archangels, be-
sides articles of household use.
Bright-hued draperies cover the image
of the Christ-child and chains of vari-
colored beads are hung around.
The Mexican people also hang Ian
terms from tall poles about their door
ways for twelve nights during Christ
mas as a symbol of the star that was
seen in the East, and so that if the
Christ-child should come seeking shell
ter in any house He would be shown

"A LOST OPPORTUNITY"
The Subject of Evangelist 6rown'ngs
Monday Evening Sermon.

"A Lost Opportunity" This was the
striking subject of Evangelist Brown
| ing last night in the Methodist church.
The lesson was Paufs speech before
Felix and the text was as Paul rea-
soned of righteousness. temperance
and Judgment and Phelix tremblcd.
Notice at the very start three things:
First, Felix sent for Paul; second,
Felix was convinced that he ought to
be Christian; third, Felix respects
Christ.
Pauls great sermon opened the eyes
of the ruler to his sinful condition.
Notice the three subjects that Paul
preached about: First. righteousness,
that is his relation to his fellow men.
Felix said Paul you must deal just
ly with all men," Righteousness means
that man will undo: second, Paul
preached about temperance. This deals
with ones inner life. 1t means self
contrate People are Incorporate in
language, in temper and in actions.
Temperance covers all the work of life
and God expects you will master your
own body and mind; third Paul
preached about the judgment
The preacher went on to show that
lHe Judgment was ceItdlil bOu mas
appointed a day in which he will judge
the earth. At that time We will be
judged by our words our deeds and
our thoughts Felix was almost per-
suaded to prepare for the last days,
but he listened to the voice of sin and
he refused Christ Why did he refuse
to take Christ? There were three rea-
sons: First he was tempted by the
love of worldly goods. &Felix expected
they would bride him 70 let Paul go.
Oh. friends. bribery is not a new form
of sin. AS long ago az Paul preached
this thing, bribery, cudsed Felix and
kept him out of heaven; second, he
was held back by the influence of
friends. The associations of life make
or weaken our young people. The
friends one selects will limit his life
in all worlds: third, Felix was kept
from accepting Christ by his sin. He
knew that his life was false and he
would have to give up sin and he would
not do it. Therefore he lost God and
eternal life.
How many here tonight will turn
from all sin and accept Christ? This
invitation was accepted at once by
three persons.
Tuesday at and 7.3O P. NJ the
evangelist will preach.
