It pierces the clouds of human darkness, and rolls them back from the face of the weary soul, But many children do not know what Christmas is. vague conception of meaning to the Christian world. They do not know the real importance of observing Christmas. AH they know is that they always look forward to Christmas as a day of enjoyment. They do not know that the word Christmas has a meaning more to the Christian world than any other word that has ever been spoken by human tongue. The origin of Christmas we do not know exactly, but we do know that it celebrates the birth of Christ. It is not known with certainty when the festival, or what we call Christmas, was first observed. Clement of Alexandria of it in the beginning of the third century; and again in the fourth century it was spoken of by Chrysostom as an event of great antiquity. The church in the fourth century fixed the twenty fifth of December as the date for this festival though at that time no certain knowledge of the date of the birth of Christ existed. Many believe that the heathen festivals, celebrated on that day, weighed heavily in accepting this date. Some churches, and especially the Western church in the fourth century, believed that the right date was the sixth of January. That it could not have been on the 25th of December for at that time the rainy Judea begin and the shepherds could not have been watching their flocks. the exact date of the birth of Christ is not known, all now celebrate O December. But the observance of Christ- mas, or the birth of Christ, meant Brest deal lo U meant the dawn of lip The very spirit of it meant love as opposed to selfishness, injustice, a pistol bullet into his brain. shooting occurred about five o'clock, u few minutes good cheer and not about preparing breakfast.

Harvey Walston, the husband of th woman, went to her father's and demanded to see her Her father met him and refused to let his daughter come out. where upon it is said, Walston began shooting at Mr. the Mrs. Walston. Mrs. joined her husband and for a time quite serious trouble threatened. Mrs. Walston got into the with a gun and it is said that Walston was used up pretty badly.

Of all the occupations known to men, entertaining a prejudice is the most absurd. Yet the practice is almost universal. The prejudice is usually ed. He comes in quietly, removes his hat and coat, saunters up to the guest chamber and prepares to be- come a permanent feature of the establishment. You entertain him royally, strain him to your bosom, exhibit him proudly to every one, for him, defend him and per- him. Yet you do not even admit that he is present. enter- a you say, with becoming concern. Birds of n feather flock together. It therefore happens that if there is one prejudice present there are also others. They always come in unawares and take their places and unobtrusively. But, oh, how they hang together in A of prejudices is They have never been beaten. The strange part of prejudices is that one would think they would prefer more commodious quarters.
