THE LARGEST STOCK OF 3 an unusually LARGE AND ies almost everything you want. wish to store it, 1 ' anager. Christmas. BY DR. WABHEN DYSON. Cbureb bells are ringing, ' Tbeslelgb bell* are Jingling Oulon tbe Christmas air, A nil sparrows are chirping Wbile in tbe eaves larking vsu tuia merry aay BO lair. The Joy of thinking, White the sun Is sinking, ' That another happy day ' Has been merry with singing Wtille tbe bells were rlnrlDg, Chanting a Christmas lay. Unto yoa was born On this Chrl6ttmj morn A Saviour lovl og and trae, Who In tbestrlto ' Has laid down B Is life To save the world anew. i Our thoughts are wandering, i Our days are numbering, J And we muse on the time none by, Wben the Saviour was sighing, And on Calvary dying, Redeeming every clime. JJP The thief who died ( By tbe Saviour's side, With agony fierce to see, ? Was relieved by a cry Wtilcb soared on high, , "O Lord, remember me!' And tbe blessed Saviour, Wllb compassionate behavior, > Remembered tbe weary with sin, Aud wlm touching Dltv He spoke of that city, "This day sbttU tboa enter In." "It is finished!" He cried. Hang His bead and died, Wbile darkness covered tbe sky; And the temple was rent, j While tbe angels were sent J To bear Him borne on high. A Marriage. The most solemn obligations en;endered in any earthly contract are ssumed through marriage. The utire life of man and woman entering nto the state of matrimony undergoes I transformation. Each assumes an uterest in another's welfare that calls or consideration at the expense of self terests, for each has tbe power to xalt or debase tbe life thus united mn cneir own. Humanity at large jas a vested interest in every matri- M lonial venture, in the heritage be- M ueatbed children, in tbe influences '-.M adiating from the home centre which fl| ach married couple create. M No one truly worthy the privileges f married lite will enter tne estate astily or selfishly; effects upon the ossible lives uat may come under heir charge will always be a ration with wise heads and just earts. Society has a right to protest' gainst the acceptance, by any girl, of W moral leper as the father of her cbil ren : even if a fascination bewilders 9 er own pure instincts, and leads her 1 ) believe the sacrifice of ber pure life gj 5 the service of reformation is justi able. "Tbe sins of the fathers shall be isited upon the children." It is the ' jnorant disregard of this sacred warnig that nas filled tbe world with iinted human bodies, distorted moral j atures and befogged intellects. Every I irl who accepts as a husband a man '? .1 f immoral habits, is a participant in 1 crime resulting in untold human I liseries. No less evil is the man who I anfers motherhood upon an unworthy J 'oman. The silly, selfish girl who, M irough vanity and ignorance, distorts fl er physical construction and destroys fl er mental and physical vigor, is an- m 'orthy that crown of womanhood ; rhile the simple child who would rnrry for the excitement of a wed- j ing, a few fine clothes and the title, i the most pitiable spectacle of the J ebased social condition that has pro- M uced unintelligent woman and con dered her available in marriage. Vhut the world needs today Is women ipable of strength in wifehood and of M oble intelligence in motherhood, wed- S ing tfith pure-hearted, pure-souled ^ ten. The family life can mould the deelopment of the nation ; in it is a . ? ower potential to solve the social ? Wtntrttt kliwton Ilia UfSllUIlS uuu nujust UiOUj uumau mo* It is tbe mother's duty to train her aildren from comparatively early ears intelligently to understand the icredness of the relation, obligations. Dili physical and physiological, ana lculcate an ideal of marriage that J ould lead to qualifying in character ?r the holy privilege. Purity in thought, a noble alturism i demeanor, and physical vigor, a ?sireto make the hearthstone of home :i altar before which tbe Christly rinciples should daily be enacted, lould be the preparation for, and lead- ^ ig motive in, the enactment of marage. Then tbe harvest of love shall ' ?reaped in happiness and benefit to I humanity. Children nourished in ie atmosphere of love and purity will ) forth to b'e!?s the laud and do honor the parents who made of home a nctuary, and marriage a pure fulflllg of divine law. ?
