Jesus was born In Bethlehem o.

(Matt.) And she brought forth hel
first-born son, and wrapped him II
swaddling clothes and laid him in q
manger, because there was no room
for him in the inn" Uuke). "Great
is the mystery of godliness, God
manifest in the fiesh." (Paul)
"Ecce Homo"-Behold the Man!
"Ecce Deus"-Behold the God! On
this Christmas day we celebrate the
weakness and the power, the advent
and the glory of the Son of God.
What mighty contrast we here be.
hold! In Him we see the light OF the
universe eclipsed and shining in the
midst Of darkness. The worlds gift
to Him was a manger and it's last gift
cross. He who owned the cattle
on thousand hills as the common
property of his providence, was am
noyed with hunger. He who held the
ocean in the hollow of his hand as a
dewdrop is held in the vase of lily,
was thirsty at Jacobs well, nor could
he slake his thirst without asking
help of another. He who owned the
wealth of the world, its mines and
crowns and heaped up jewels, as a
mere trifie in his treasury, was so
poor that he could not pay his taxes
until the sea brought 1t to him In the
mouh of fish. In him we see eter-
nifty becoming invested with time.
His omnipotence put on frailty. His
immensity became subject to limit
alton and the Everything began to be.
The very source of knowledge
learned wisdom and the fountain of
life expired in death!
He was born of woman, and yet he
made woman. He ate and hungered
and drank nd thirsted; yet He made
the corn grow on the mountains and
in the valleys, and poured all the
rivers, rills and rivulets from his avn
srystal chalice. He needed sleep, and
He wept and yet he created the tear
that flows from the eye of sorrow.
He died, and yet he is the Everlasting
Word" who created the tree of the
cross on which he expired.
This day mot only calls to mind
his birth but his transcendent vic
tories of two milleniums. The care
less world knew little of Christ's
glory then, for the 'swaddling clothes
and the veil of flesh concealed it's
brightness from mortal view. Only
the inner circle of servants and suff-
erers, could say with John, I'VE be-
hold his glory, as the glory of the.
only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth"
To understand Christ we must not |
stop at the Christmas cradle, or even
the cross or the throne, but must fol-
low his victorious footsteps through
the centuries. It is true that he is "of
the seed of David according to the
fiesh," but he is also declared to be
the Son of God with power by the
from the dead" He was

HAVE PRELIMINARY MEETING
 ON RETALIATION OF PRoPERT,

The equitable taxation committee of the chamber of commerce and the town assessors met Wednesday night in the off, lice of the chamber on Shetucket street to discuss the prevailing method of as- sessing property in Norwich. All present were agreed that. the existing method was negotiable and that there is a real nead for the establishment of some system whereby all properties shall be assessed on a fair basis. This means first of all the establishment of an. equitable rate for every square foot of land throughout the community. Many pieces of taxable property, it is believed, will be unearth- ed It will also mean that all owners of property shall be assessed on an equitable basis, thus eliminating the hit and miss method prevailing at present.
 Before anything can be done, the as- sessors must be provided with the nec- essary paraphernalia to do their work, it was pointed out. The community should be blocked off in sections, a thorough registration of all property owners se- cured, and an equitable basis for land values throughout the community be es- abolished. It was agreed that it is very manifest that many thousands of pieces of property are in the tax list at ridic- ulously low figures and also true that some are in the list for more than was paid for the property There also ex- ists many pieces of unimproved property
 which is being carried on the tax list al figure that is ridiculous.
 The assessors and the committee will take the matter under serious considera. 1 tion and will meet again within a few
 weeks to give further consideration C | this matter

FINGERLING TROUT DISTRIBUTED
 IN CONNECTICUT SIRE 1Ns

Joy will rise in the hearts of Connec- ticut's S0,000 anglers over the aews that 121,250 fingerling trout have Beea oe- posted in approximately 250 brooks and streams in the state by the state fish and game department. The trout are from five to six inches long. But Fish and Game Commissioner John II. Champion is going to give these trout a chance cf Ia years growth at least, as he IS going to ask the legislature to pass a seven- inch trout law, which would postpone the time for catching the trout now deposit ed in the streams until a year from now. The present law requires that trout ;ak- en from the waters must be six inches long.
 Over 800 applications had come from lovers of trout in the brook and on the platter, asking that deposits be made !n streams proposed by them. Nearly all applications were answered with a de- posit of trout, the rule being to deposit 200 trout at any one point. In the long CT streams many schools were deposited at various points in the stream. - What a man is and what he might b. are as different as day and night
