TE MANNING TIMES A CHRISTMAS SERMON. Outline of a Sermon Preached in the Baptist Church Last Sunday Morning By Rev. T. E. Jasper. Matt, ii., 2.-"Where is he that is born King of the Jews?" The New Testament knows noth ing of our Christmas holiday. It was originated in traditional history some three or four hundred years after the New Testament was written. The New Testament recognizes only one day as sacred or holy; that day is the Sabbath day. All other days kept in memory of Christ are of human ori gin, and should not be noticed and observed by the followers of Christ. The first coming of Christ, like the second, cannot be definitely known as to the year, month, week, or day. As we can ascertain the period of Christ's tecond, not the year, month, week, day, so both sacred and profane history work out the period or the characteristics of 'the age in which Christ was born, and not the exact date of his birth. As the burial of Moses on Mt. Nebo by the Lord was wisely concealed from the supersti tious Israelites,,as they would wor ship the place, so God has wisely hid in history the birth of his son that we might "worship him," and not the date of his human birth. The date of Christ's birth is not the object of our faith, nor the fact of his birth, but his life, death, resurrection, ascension, mediation, intercession, the value of his atonement, &c. Con sider briefly: L THE PEBIoD OF HS BIRTH. 1. Our present date of civil history is four years too fast. Instead of this being Dec. 27th, 1891, it should be Dec. 27th, 1887. Our civil date is four years out of whack. Dionyssius, an abbot of Rome in the 6th century, zed our present date, making the birth of Christ in the year 754, from e founding of Rome. But the East ern Greek Christians fixed the time of Christ's birth on the 6th of Jan., in the 4th century. Befoire the year 215 after Christ, there was no celebration of his birth. The first historical au Sority makes the death of Herod in the year 750 of Rome, and Christ was born not more than two years before that time, and we don't know how inch less Herod had the two years' old children slain at Bethlehem to reach back far enough to take in the date of Christ's birth, that he might slay the infant rival king. 2. As to the month and day, it is out of the question to find out. Every month in the year has been claimed by history as the exact month of his birth. Since no one knows, no one should presume to tell the un knowable. We. know from the New ~----Tstament that Jesus was six months -yougr-than John the Baptist; both were about thirty years old when their ublie ministry began, but 7 ohn's ministry is said to have begun ~early in the spring-say March or Aril--which would make the birth Sof Jesus in August or September. And what confirms this is, that they hbad to make a journey of some one hundred miles to Bethlehem on foot, most likely; and also the shepherds were stil in ther pastures watching their flocks by night. But it was the common practice with shepherds to drive in their flocks in November, and mot return to remain over-night in the .Bedd until winter was over; hence Christ was not born in the winter time. Dr. Talmage's "icieles hanging down trm the house" where Christ was born is a mere poetical fancy of -he imagination. The climate neither " would justify the idea of remaining out .in open fields in mid-winter. Hence the birth of Christ most likely ;om-ured late in the summner or early ~in the fall months; we don't know what month, say nothing about the day. -Notice ED WITH HISan ARTRvTH.cOET When the independence of the American colonies was granted, and the news came across the ocean to1 New York, all the colonies on Ameri e an rsoil were thrown into ecstacies of'2 joy over .the good news. They all were shouting to- the top of their:i voices, blowing horns, beating drums, ringing bells, making bonfires, and ~delivering speeches, etc. But better < still, when the Son of God came into the world to save fallen man, destroy ein,oconqueratan and the grave, all heaven was jubilant with joy, the< b -eavenly angelic choir bore the blessed message to humble, pious, shepherds watching their flocks, and sang his welcome mission to lost1i man! "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will to men." "And a great host of the heavenly multitude joined in the welcome re frain." An angel named the childi and acts as guardian to direct the le - gal father, Joseph, how to preserve I the infant from the bloody Herod. A mysterious star led learned men from a distant part of the globe to come and worship the infant King of heaven and earth. - - The magi were doubtless on the lookout for the birth of the Messiah. They camne from the East, where the Jews were carried captive by the As isyrian rulers; they had a knowledge of the prophecy of Balaam: "A star shall arise out of Jacob; a sceptre out of Israel, and rule my people; and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy the children of Sheth." Then the world was ripe in eager expecta- 1 tion, looking for a mighty ruler-a universal kingdom. All the tradi tional writings plainly pointed to this fact, in prophecy-the Talmud, the< Roman Sybillene books, Apocryphal1 writings-all pointed to some great event in the near future. Some won-I derful sign was expected to usher ini a great event. It is said seven days before Ciesar was stabbed by Brutus thatat 11 o'clock for seven nights a hairy sar.e was seen in the heavens. .Before Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus a.flaming sword was seen in the heavens over the city for weeks be -ore its destruction. And shall the most wonderful event in all history be ushered into the world without some remarkable appearance. Diodorus Sinlus says the ancients believed there were five movable stars antici pated in appearance all new rend says a learned school of twelve men were set apart to watch this star; i one man should die another was elected to fill his place, and they took the name of "the Magi." The venerable Bede, in the Ninth century, says there were three wise men, and gives their names, country, and representation: Africa represent ed by Ham, Europe by Shem, and Asia by Japheth. He says their names were Malchoir, Casper, and Balthasar. But this is only tradition. Augustine, a great Latin writer, and Oregin, a great Greek writer, say there were twelve wise men that came to worship the infant king. IM WHRRE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS? 1. He is enthroned in heaven. He was the incarnate God when on earth, the infant King, the helpless babe, the innocent boy, the wonderful Christ, the mighty God. He over threw the religions of the world, rev olutionized society, made a new or der of things on earth at his coming, convicted the world of sin, wrenched humanity out of the jaws of eternal death and the fiery devil. He is. en throned in heaven, and at the same time incarnated in the hearts of his humble followers on earth. To-day over 400,000,000 live for him, and. un told billions have died in the glorious triumph of a blessed hope in him! IV. FoR wHAT DID HE com? 1. To stay the judgment of God, and conquer satan and sin in the hearts of humanity. God's divine justice said cut man down, for he is a guilty sinner; "Why cumber the ground?" While Christ in mercy takes the sword divine, and says I will suspend the judgment, to "call man to repentance." 2. He came to warn the world of its condition as sinful and lost. He came to place before man the only stimulus of hope for a better life. He is "the truth, the way, and the life." In him is "immortality brought to light." 3. What will it profit us if we neg lect or reject him? His birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, media tion, and intercession in heaven, if disregarded will only be a witness to our criminality. Don't ignore it all by indifference or neglect to give him the love of your heart and the service of your hands. "Bring forth the roy al diadem, and crown him Lord of all" in our souls, and in the service of our lives! The Pathogenic Microbe, Or poison bearing germ, exercises a most destructive influence, and is continually waging war against health. Innumerable is this mighty foe, and but few escape his injury. Entering the system through the blood, this poisonous germ infects every part of the body, and spreads its deadly virus everywhere. Under ordinary condi tions it multiplies rapidly, and soon maintains a stronghold upon the hu man body. To overcome this enemy, and put an end to its destruction has for a long while occupied the time and energies of scientists. Their la bors have at last been rewarded with success, and a most important discov ery has thue boeon made known to the world. It has been shown that this germ can be forced from the body through the pores of the skin, and that this is the only method by which a permanent and sure cure of diseas es of the blood can be effected. S. S. S. has for years been curing blood diseases and their results, and it is by his method of eliminating all impu rities through the skin that it has per ormed its great work.

To HAm A BnIHT L.mi.-In these days when lamps are used so much the care of them is quite an important matter, writes Mary Parlor, in her de partment in the October Ladies' Home Journal. If the lamps be good and have proper attention one cannot wish for a more satisfactory light; but if badly cared for they will be a source of much discomfort. The great secret of having lamps in good working order is to keep them clean and to use good oil. Have a regular place and time for trimming the lamps. Put a folded newspaper on the table, so that any stray bits of burned wick and drops of oil nmay fall upon it Wash and wipe the chimneys and shades. Now take off all parts of the burner, washing them in hot-suds and wiping them with a clean soft cloth. Trim the wicks and turn them quite low. With a soft wet cloth well soaped wipe the burner thoroughly, working the cloth as much as possible inside the burner, to get off every particle of the charred wick. Now fill the lamps within about one inch from the top, and wipe with a damp towel and then with a dry one. Adjust all the parts and re turn them to their proper places. Whenever a new wick is required in a lamp, wash and scald the burner be fore putting in the wick. With a stu dent lamp the receptacle for waste oil, which is screwed on the bottom of the burner, should be taken off at least once a week and washed. Sometimes a wick will get very dark and dirty 1 "ore it is half consumed. It is not economy to try to burn it; replace it with a fresh one. The trouble and ex pense are slight, and the increase in clearness and brilliancy will repay the extra care. When a lamp is lighted it should not at once be turned up to a great height; wait untill the chim ney is heated. Beautiful shades are often cracked or broken by having the hot chimneys setting against them. Now, when lighting a lamp be careful that the chimney is sitting perfectly straight and does not touch the shade at any point. The shade should be placed on the lamp as soon as it is lighted, that it may heat gradually. ENTERTAINING UNE cTrEED GuErs. Unless upon unusual occasions the average country housewife has at hand the material for a dinner good enough for the most fastidious guest. Even .the old standby, salt pork, if sweet and nice, as is generally kept by farmers, need not be despised. Slice it thin, freshen, and dip in cracker dust or flour; then fry to a delicate brown, first putting into the frying pan a little butter to prevent the meat from sticking to the pan. This will be more- of a treat to your city guests than the finest steak; and if accompanied by potatoes, either baked to a turn, or boiled and mashed with plenty of cream and butter, eggs in some form, cream gravy, good bread and butter, pickles, and some vegetable, either cabbage, onions, squash, or turnip, canned fruit served with doughnuts, cookies, or cake, with the addition of a cup of good coffee, enriched with plenty of cream, you will have a dinner of which no one need be ashamed to invite her guests to partake. Of course at most sea sons of the year, ham, sausage, or fresh meat is kept on hand, and in such case the salt. pork may be dis pensed with. Guests experience a very uncom fortable feeling at seeing that their presence has caused a disturbance of the household machinery. They have come to see you and not merely to get a good dinner, and happy is the woman who cain entertain a chance visitor without making him fell that he is a disturbing element, for the tme being, in her home. DEvn.ED TONGUE.-A very appetiZ ing breakfast dish is deviled tongue. Cut tongue which has been cooked, or any that may be left over cold, in to thick, even Sllets. Blend smooth ly together one teaspoonful of Wor cestershire sauce, one teaspoonful (level) of mustard, one teaspoonful of vinegar, one pinch of sugar, a couple of dashes of cayenne, and one table spoonful of melted butter. Slash each fillet in three or four places, rub the mixture well into them, and leave all soaking over night. When re quired, remove and broil over a brisk ire, turning frequently, and serve in bed of parsley, with any desired sauce. This is excellent also when egged, covered with rolled and sifted bread crumbs, fried a golden brown in deep fat, just as one would fry a ruller, and served in a little lake of. tomato sauce. ONE Eoo OCX.-Beat one egg yolk. and white separately, add one cup of rsugar, one cup sour cream, one tea spoonful soda. Flour enough to make a soft sponge. Do not get it too stiff. WAS IT CANCER? In the summer of 1890, something began to appear on my face, similar to a cancer. I tried va rious remedies, but nothing gave re lief until I used S. S. S., which entire ly cured me.

"Adamant" Wall Plaster - -3115 TIry Best Material for Walls and. Ceilings Ever Put Be fore the Public. The only thing about a building that has not improved for over 1,000 years is lime plaster. But there is no excuse hereafter for falling cejilings, erumbling walls, broken and defaced decorations. ADAMANT is not a guess work mixture of lime, hair, and sand: it is a machine made mortar, ontaining no lime: it comes dry in bags ready to be used at any iseason by mixing with water only. Any mason can apply it: bursting pipes or leaky roofs will not effect ~it. It's the best known fire resisting material in the world, and it is impervious to disease germs. Architects, Engineers, and Scientific Men Everywhere, EndorselIt, and 300,000 buildings plastered within three years, is the only testimonial we need offer.
