sounds come floating in; maybe, at
times, a few will make timid, or ven
turesome excursions little way out
side the tent-door; but for the most
part we are confined within this our
house or tabernacle and live in ig-
norance, if not without hope, of the
Infinite Circumstance, the world of
Immortality where the great Voices
sound and Visions DWELL
We mortals can never tell when
the heavenly presences will break
through. In the first year the ma
tions seemed to lie in an unutterable
darkness when every soul despaired
of humankind; brutality, greed, lust,
dishonor, atheism, all this lay on
Rome and Greece and Palestine as
dark as the night about the shep-
herds heads, but it was just then
when the night was darkest that the
brightest star shone out and messen-
gers came announcing the advent of
the Lord Christ. Herein, surely, lies
one of the many golden meanings of
Christmas that one can never tell
when heaven will break open even
on the darkest life, or in this shadow
ed world.
The hosts which thronged round
the astonished shepherds on that
night now far agone were, let us
note, the Heavenly hosts. This leads
us to recollect that the World I'm
seen is greater and more divine and
more wonderful and more real than
the Seen.
In it's realms are those more than
human beings whom the ages have
known as the angels. Our thin and
easy going rationalisms may lead us
to doubt the existence of such be-
ings though many of the mightiest
of our modern minds have felt very
sure that they must be. On both
sides the ocean there have been
great thinkers in recent years to de-
clare their conviction that beings
must exist who are more than man
though less than God. Life has
climbed from the amoeba to the hui
man by gradual steps; may not life
climb from the human to the divine
by ways as gradual? may there not
be living spirits higher than we?
and is there better name for them
than angels" If such fellow be-
ings exist (the great religions have
always assumed that they do) then
they belong to the unseen. They are
probably all about us here, moving
in and out, the ministers Of the Most
High engaged in beautiful activities
Of which we cannot dream, always
beholdng the face of God. 1t is they
who made up the heavenly hosts a
glimpse of which was accorded to
The shepherds on the first Christmas
night. God grant that we too now
alive in an age far remote and in a
different world may be enabled by
The spirits ears to catch some ac-
,ents of their celestial singing!
To that same unseen world our
Lord Christ belongs. He is no long
ger with us in the flesh, but who
will deny that He is with us still? |
hat he goes about now as of yore
ouching bent souls to a new life? |
t was needful for our sakes that he
hould go away; it is more needful
hat He somehow remain. In what
yer fashion He may now exist, un-
Ter whatever form His remaining
nay be, we all know it to be invisi-
lie, and that He is now a citizen of
hat same realm out Of which came
he heavenly glory on the night OF
lis human nativity.

Employees Matter Laid
Z Over.

The city council met last night in
an adjourned session with all mem
beers present. The first matter taken
up was the appointment Of city as
SCISSOR according to an ordinance
which was passed at the last meet
ing and is now in force. There were
two applications for the office-Wm.
Meelins and George Jewett. BY a
unan imous vote of the council VIM.
Meekins was appointed for the bal
ance Of the biennial term, or until
his successor. is appointed and quail
flied.
The manner of spreading the as
|sessments on curb and gutter was
|again taken up and discussed; the
mode OF spreading same was approx
ed and the city attorney instructed
to draw up an ordinance outlining
and establishing the manner by
which street improvements will be
assessed according to- the new law
governing the same.
A resolution was then presented
and read by J. l.. Kamrar relative to
the maximum salaries proposed to be
paid to city employees and officials.
The proposed plan of cutting down
salaries would reduce some OF them
$25, others $40 and others S. per
month. The new schedule would be
as follows:

The Sudden Conversion (?) of The
Wettest of The Wet.

The Honorable Augustus Owsley
Stanley will lead the host of Democ-
racy in November. He will stand
upon a county unit platform and from
every stump in the State proclaim
himself it's champion. In the light
of Mr.. Stanley's past history and in
view of his record and the record of
the men who made him the Demo
cratic nominee, the spectacle of STAN
ley as the champion of the county
unit law is at once amazing and
laughable. Stanley has never been
for any unit or regulation of the
whiskey business except where the
quart unit was concerned and then
it was with an earnest desire to see
its extension to the half gallon.
In the Democratic convention Of
1911, both before the committee and
on the floor, he fought and voted
against the county unit platform, and
when casting the vote of Henderson
county he stood on table and shout
ed: Henderson county casts votes
wet" His entire political history is
woven around his persistent and ag-
gressive antagionism to all regula-
tory laws, and his friends and polit-
ical hackers are men prominent in
the production and sale of liquor.
He was opposed to the Webb-Ken-
yon law, and was perfectly willing
by his vote to allow the shipment Of
whiskey into dry territory-the one
hundred and six counties of Ken
lucky which had voted to keep it out
He voted and fought against national
prohibition. AS reward for SER
vices well rendered his masters have
given him his party's nomination.
After flooding the state with money,
they carried out his campaign which
was the most gigantic in the history
of primary elections. II is asserted
by unknown members of his party,
that into his campaign fund there
went not less than one hundred and

fifty thousand dollars.

The people of Kentucky, irrespec-
tive of party, believe in, and stand
for the county unit law as the safest,
sanest, and most practical temperance
law, and the one best suited to pro-
mote the real cause of temperance.
Into whose keeping shall this law be
given? Certainly no one can believe
that its life long enemy will stand
by it now. Does anyone believe that
he will give to its enforcement eth
er conscience of enthusiasm? Has
the conversion Of Mr.. Stanley from
his lost state of opposition to his pres
ent state of salvation been that Of
either the heart or head, or only OF
the mouth? For a new convert he is
shouting nightly and seeks by the
very righteousness of his declara-
tions to convince the members of the
county unit church that he is quite
safe and altogether holy. AS for US,
we do not believe the leopard can
change its spots-the slave will not
deny his master. and the clay will
bend to the wishes of the potter
