Observance

THERE IA very little of The right
motive in commemorative the
birth of Jesus the Savior. The
spirit of the modern Christmas is To
have good old time, Teasing and
business activity, with the Holy Child
Jesus Il fgurehead.
Such is very great oifense to Al.
mighty God. An Offering TO God in
the spirit of righteousness, by humility,
worship. modification, in self denial
and good works, should be the first
duty in celebrating Christmas.
Really a number OF hours similar TO
Lent ought TO be considered, after
which would come the feast and re-
joicing.
Respectful thankfulness to the Lord
God of Hosts for his love and pity for
u sinful race in his priceless gift of n
Sa, .or--such would be Il fitting grace
before partaking Of The good things
and many blessings that he has been
pleased to bestow on all people. What
would a person think in giving Il re-
cepton and supper to have the guests
hasten to the dining hall and deyour
the food without giving the honor and
respect due 10 the host ir9t? Almighty
God is treated in a similar manner ia
celebrating the modern Christmas

Date Of the Birth Of Christ.

"In looking through reference book
I find the birth Of Jesus Christ took
place ia the year p. c. How could
it possibly be?' asked correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Press.
To which the reply was made:
1.-THE attempt to date things forward
and backward from the birth Of Christ
was first made in 533 A. D. by Ro-
man abbot Dionysius Exigus. He re-
garded Christ's birth as taking place
in the year 754 after the founding Of
Rome. Early Christians had put 1t in
the year of Rome $50
"The abbots belated attempt TO date
things from Christ's birth was prob
ably inaccurate, and the proper deflni-
milton of the Christian era Is that 1t be-
gins with January in the fourth year
Of the one hundred and ninety.fourth
Oympiad and the seven hundred and
tfty.third from the founding of Rome.
According to the latest computation,
Christ was born in the year b. c. or
the year 7 B. c."

Who sharest all oar doubts and fears,
Whose bosom trembles 10 our sishs,
Teach us thy gospel pure and mild!
Make US like thee, O Christ the Child
