GODS GREAT GIFT
WAS HIS ONLY SON
Rev. DR.. Randolph H. McKim Says
This Was His Christmas Offer
ing to Humanity.

Gods Great Christmas Gift to Man.
was the theme of a sermon preached at
the Church Of the Epiphany last night by
the rector, Rev. DR.. Randolph II. McKim.
Quoting his text, Thanks be to God for
this unspeakable gift" Corinthians, TX,
10. Rev DR.. McKim said:
This is one of those devout Inscriptions
of praise which so frequently burst from
the lips OF st. Paul. His heart was like
a burning censor. ever filled with incense,
ever pouring forth the fragrance Of ador-
alton to Him whom he adored.
But what was his 'unspeakabIe Gift?
This one gift. thus singled out from the
manifold gifts of the gracious Oliver? No
one acquainted with the mind OF st. Paul
can doubt that in his estimation Gods
only begotten and well-beloved Son was
His 'unspeakable gift And the gift was
given when Jesus was born in Bethlehem
of Judea- Then and there the Eternal
Father gave His great Christmas gift to
the world.
God gave to man this fair earth for
his home but what was this in COMPARE
son with the gift of Jesus Christ, through
whom we may become heirs of all worlds :?
God gave us the sun, whose rays go forth
as ministering angels to the ends of the
earth, but what is that great orb OF light
and power in comparison with Him who
is the Son of righteousness?
That material God distills the dew
and the rain, natures the grain, gives
flavor to the grape, and fragrance to the
rose, and tint to the lily, and glory to the
sky; but He who was born in Bethlehem
illumines the minds and hearts OF men,
sheds upon them the dews and showers
of divine grace, covers the barren and
bitter soil of a sinners life with the
fruits of righteousness, diffuses over this
sad earth the fragrances OF unselfsh and
heroic deeds-yes, beauties this world
of sin and sorrow with the tints of Para
disc and the radiance Of heaven.
Jesus Christ is the supreme expression
of the Fathers love and the supreme
manifestation of the Fathers power to
glorify our humanity, to redeem It from
all that is low and evil and to crown II
with Immortality.
And thus we see in the Babe Of Beth
lehem Gods great Christmas gift to
man"

Be Called.

Some of the most prominent bankers
of Washington probably will be called
to the witness stand to-day IN the Con-

pected to testify. All three were present
at the hearing Saturday in the expecta-
ton OF being called.
Despite protests OF the three bankers
that they are busy men," their testi-
mony probably will be requested by the
Congressional probers to-day. II Is re-

Oriental Rugs
Good and Bad

As the demand for Eastern floor coverings
has increased the reliable conditions Of that
trade has decreased not unlike Navajo In
dams, who have changed their methods of
weaving good blankets to cheap and unde-
sirable ones. Almost 90 per cent Of the
Oriental Rug weaving tribes are now weav-
ing rugs in hurry. In fact, it is now gone
so far that before many years good honest
made rug Will become thing Of the past.
Among Turkish rug weaving tribes Ana
toGans opposed the Western importers and
stayed honest with their craft. About three
years ago they also were bought and rugs
woven in that province in olden days are
now being drained into museums and pala-
tial homes Of collectors.
Beloochi also stood brave for years, but
the love Of the almighty dollar was stronger
than the love of their ancient art. To-day
to find an honest made Beloochistan Rug is
quite hard task.
In Feraghan, Seraband, Hamadan, Kho-
rassan, Herat, Tabriz, herman, Shiraz, Ma
hal, &C., to-day the object is the output, re-
CARELESS Of dyes, wool, fneness, quality, &c.
They let the ultimate purchaser worry about
them.
There is still one honest rug weaving tribe
where rugs are not bough but exchanged
for their needs-a rug for revolver and so
many shells, rug for so many swords, &c.
That's where we get the most honest made
rugs-the Kurdistans They are the most
for the money because they are good In
recent importation we received ffty-four Of
these Kurdistans Beautiful in design, beau
tiful in color and quality, reasonable in price.
They are $500 apiece; good size.
Smallest ones do not measure less than 6x4
Last year we received sixty-four of them,
and for the same price they were soon gone.
See them. You will want a few of them.

girls schools on the one hand and
those in boys schools and coeduca-
tional schools on the other. Among
the girls schools mental discipline is
most generally regarded as a FREEDOM
inant aim. In the other schools, voca-
tional training and preparation for
advanced work in mathematics are
mentioned most frequently in con-
nection with arithmetic and tri.
gonometry, and preparation for study
of advanced mathematics and other
subjects in connection with algebra.
In geometry, mental discipline takes
first place, and the development Of
accurate conceptions of space and
form stands second in the reports
from all three types of schools"
The report is ssued by the United
States Bureau of Education under the
title, Mathematics in the Public and
Private Secondary Schools of the
Uaited States" and aside from deal
ing extensively with these institu-
lions, special consideration is also
gwen to mathematics as taught by
correspondence schools, by night
schools, and by institutions of higher
learning for the colored. The topice
dealt with include present methods
and organization and proposed re-
forms. The repLrt was compiled by
committees three and four of the
International Commission on the
Teaching of Mathematics, with the
corporation Of the United States Blu

Origin Of the Corps Of Professors al

Before the Naval academy was en-
tabIished midshipmen received their
education entirely on board ship. Thej.

occasionally by the voluntary efforts
VI the older line officers. Their gen.
erai education was at t1rst neglected.
but later instructors were appointed
for service on ships that carried mid.
shipmen. These were appointed By
the secretary OF the navy TOR statet
periods. much as civilian instructor.
at the Naval academy are appointed
at the present time. In 1912 a genera,
order was issued providing that they
should live and mess with lieutenants.
They were commissioned In 184S. but
specific rank was not given them until
the general reorganization Of all staff
corps during the civil war.
The late Professor Il. Fl. Lockwood,
q. s. n, in some very interesting rem.
iniscences read before the Naval
Academy Graduates association in
1893 relates how the corps Of profes.
sors of mathematics came to be FORM
ed. In the early days Of the Naval
academy be was one Of its instructors
He had had service in the army, and
in the development Of the course Of in
struction he determined, after consul
tation with the superintendent. to give
the midshipmen little infantry drill
This did not suit the proud spirits Of
the young gentlemen Of that day, and
to show their disapproval Of this and
other efforts Of the professor they hung
him in ef1gy. An investigation and
court martial followed on the charge
Of insulting a superior officer.
The defense put up the plea that the
instructor was not a superior officer.
Such a condition is hard to understand
at this time. when the status of Off
GERS, instructors and midshipmen at
the Naval academy isswell defined, but
at that time midshipmen were officers.
while instructors had no official stand
ing. The plea was technically correct,
and to punish the guilty midshipmen it
was found necessary to substitute
charges in which the anomalous posi-
ton Of the professor in the naval serv-
Ice could not be made to enter. Upon
these the guilty midshipmen were con-
demned and punished.
This incident led to an amendment

ton, decidedly no.

and one says in answer to the ques-
ton, Decidedly no.
1.-The nature of the superiority is
usually stated in terms of the deslr-
able qualities of mind which are said
to be produced more readily through
mathematics than through other SUBJ
jects. One says it requires thought.
The superior quality of mathematics
most frequently referred to are its
definiteness and the absolute trust
worthiness of its principles. The
simplicity of it's data and the ease OF
checking results make this the best
medium for training the student In
logical reasoning. On the other hand,
it Is said to call for greater mental
efforts, and therefore to result in
greater mental power"
In discussing the mathematics
teachers ideas Of the benefits gained
by high school pupils from study
of their subjects, the commission says:
"Of the 1876 replies, all recognize
mental discipline as one Of the aims
of mathematics teaching, and all but
three work for the development Of an
accurate conception of space and
form. Nearly all approve of prepare
ton for more advanced work In math'
ematics, preparation for studying
other subjects, the teaching Of math'
ematical truths for their own sake,
and the cultivation of an appreciation
of the Importance of mathematical
knowledge in me iern life Only eleven
schools are able to 'gnore prepare
ton either for examination or for re-
quir ments imposed by outside al.
thorities.
1.-THE preparation for vocations is
the aim least generally recognized.
Ninety per cent Of the boys schools
recognize this aim, but only little
more than half of the girls schools
regard it.

question put to the teachers of this
subject in the private high schools OF
tho United States by a commission

To this question the mathematics
teachers Of the country responded to

'They get mental discipline"
And what do you mean by men

which comments upon the answers re-
ceived as follows:
Mental discipline is, in most cases,
described in vague, general term,
loosely applied, representing all sorts
Of mental and even moral qualities
which are believed to result from
discipline Of the mind. Nearly all
have a firm conviction that general
abilities are gained through exercise
Of the mind upon a particular subject,
especially mathematics.
"A composite Of the replies shows
that mental discipline is considered
to be that which produces an improve

improvement in ability to think rapid

lone of the most generally approx
ed results of mental discipline is the
ability to express thoughts clearly,
concisely, and accurately. In few
cases metal discipline IS described
as the formation of habits; habits of
mental concentration, Of industry, OF
accuracy in thought and expression.
"Following are a few examples OF
