SERMON on THE SA-
CRAmENT OF BAPTISM

There are those of other denomina-
tions, that have in all earnestness
asked to let them know our view
and what we hold in regard to this
Sacrament.
Now that the text for next Sun
day touches upon this subject, we'll
thru the knowledge derived from the
Scriptures and the grace of the
Triune God, present a few reasons
for administering this sacrament, &C.
cording to our faith.

Merry Xmas-
A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

In the stiffness of the midnight,
In the silence of the Star,
In the slumber of the white lambs,
On the hillsides, near and far,
Came the Christ Child to his mo-
ther;
To the humble oxen's stall;
He, the babe of Paradise, sweet;
Lord of Christmas, King Of all.
Hush, let not a word be spoken
Of his sacrifice for men,
= STOPPING from this world of glory,
To the woman-born; a pen
Of sweet straw to be his cradle,
He is ours, just ours, today,
Mark that mortal smile, that shin
ing
Of the halo in the sky!
While the palm trees rustic softly,
While his lullaby, the breeze,
Croons amid the angels anthem,
Which the star-lit heaven cleaves
We will claim him ours, our trea-
sure,
Christmas Babe, and Babe divine
Hail, thrice, hail, o mystic stran-
ger,
Nesting in the straw-filled
shrine!

| f''Tattler" in the New York Nation
Most of the accidents which have
beset Bakers career have had fortu-
nate results 1t was accident that
sent him, a West Virginia country
boy to Johns Hopkins University
just at the time when Woodrow VIII
son was delivering there a course of
lectures on political history and eco
Monies, the young students favorte
topics; and accident again threw him
for a considerable period into the
same boarding house, and assigned
him seat at the same table with
the lecturer. 1t was the accident of
his small stature and lack of robust
ness which separated him from the
common juvenile sports and led him
to seek an outlet for his energies
through scholarship and the cultiva-
ton of his elocutionary powers. II
was the accident of being needed in
Washington as secretary to Postmas-
ter-General Wilson which gave him
his first intimate glimpse and from
the inside, Of the great governmental
machine. It was accident that led
him to overhear and plunge into a
Wrangle between two strangers. and
thus captivate the fancy of one of
them. Martin Foran, leading lawyer
OF Cleveland, who astonished him by
taxing him at once into partnership.
And it was his removal to Cleveland
that brought him into the wake of
that intellectual prize fighter. John
son, whose influence shaped his en-
tire life thereafter.
Baker is so unlike anything we have
been accustomed to regard as cabinet
material that it is hard to estimate
Justly his human quality or public

who nevertheless aims to remember
that unoffending stockholders have

IS curiosity; a publicist who con
dennis militarism, yet is ready to ac-
cept the expert Judgment of profess
sional fighters as to the extent of the
armament with which the nation
should provide itself is equally un-
common; a citizen who accepts
great office at critical iuncture with
the distinct stipulation, that ne shall
be allowed to lay it down again after
years service. is a political eccen-
trio. For the present we must be con.
tent to regard Baker as a puzzle. par
tlcularly as it is always open to doubt
whether man who thinks so rapidly
and speaks so torrentially as he is as
