Text: "Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a
ipanger. And suddenly there wa3
with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host." St. Luke, ii, /12-13.
;At midhight from one of the galV:
I leries
of the sky a chant broke. To
an ordinary observer there pay have
been no reasbn'tor such celestial demonstration.*
A poor man and wife,,
?fr .. : .f
travelers, Joseph and Mary by name,
had lodged in an outhouse of an ordiaary
village.. 'The supreme hour of
<V
solemnity had passed, ancl upon the

i- God had set the dignity, the grandeur,
y. the tenderness, the everlasting and
divine significance of motherhood.
. f Such scenes had often occurred in
Bethleham but never before had a!
star been unfised or had baton of
tight marshalled over the hills winged
> orchestra.
If there had been brilliant and
mighty recognition in the sky at a
nativity in the house of Pharaoh, or
at. a natvity in th? house of Caesar,
or, In after ages at a nativity in the
house of the Stuarts, or house of
HapSburg, it would not have been so
wonderful; but a barn seemed too
poor a centre for such a delicate and
archangelic circumference, the stage
\ ' * t ? * - \ ' V '
seemed too small for so great an act,
the music too grand for such .unappreciative
auditors, the stable too
rude to' be surrounded by other
Wjfu4ds. No, sir; no madjam. It is
- '"my joy this morning to tell you what
was bona that night in the village
barn, and that 1 may make my sermon
eumlative and climacteric I begin by
^ that ^ni^h^ th?
f^His parents. No satin lincni cradle,
no delicate attendance, but the strajv
and the cattle and the coarse jokes i
and banter of the camel drivers. No J
wonder the medieval painters reprej
sent the oxen as kneeling at the mangers.
There were no men there at
i
that time to worship. But from what j
depth of humiliation had our Lord
risen. To what heighth! What is the
mightiest name in all Christendom to
day? Jesus. Who has more friends
, .than any other being? Jesus. Before
Wliom to-day do church and cathedral
and chapel bend? Jesus. For whom
might a hundred million men be marshaled
to fight or die? Jesus. Oh,
what encouragement for the poorly*
started. Was your birth more disadvantageous?
Were your surroundings
more poverty stricken? Do you know
that all the great deliverers of the
wdittd were bcrn in barn-like places?

Luther, the emancipator of religion, j

Pridfau and Kijto, whose keys have

messiahs of law, the messiahs
of medicine, the messiahs benevolence,
the messiahs of philanthropy,
the messiahs of poverty, born
in bam-like places. I stir your holy
ambition today if you feel that there
are those in your occupation or profession,
or outside of it, who are trying
to hinder your ascent and your
progress, and I want to tell you that
the iwrrmathetic; heart and the al
mighty arm of the son of God are on
your side, and you have an intimate
and sympathetic friend in the one

'Aye," you say, "He was divine and I
am human." Then I answer by sayj
ing that all the resources of the Lord
God Almighty may be enlisted in your
behalf, and that at your firsi call for
'help' He will come for your deliver'ance.
Again, I remark, that in that Bethlehem
barn, that Christmas night was
f'born good will to men. whether you
| call it kindness, forbearance, forgiveness.
geniality .affection, or love. It
was no sport for high heaven to send
its favorite /to that humiliation. It
was a sacrfice for a rebellious world.
After t?ie calamity in Paradise not
only did the ox begin to gore and the
adder to sting and the elephant to
j smite with it9 tusK ana me nun iu |
j put to bad use tooth and paw, but I
I under the very tree from which was
i
pinched that forbidden fruit there I
j were hatched war and revenge and
J anger and hate and envy and jealousy
| and the whole brood of cosatrices.
Against that I put the Bethlehem
j srene which practically says bless instead
of curse, endure rather than assault,
and that Christmas night seems
to put out all vindictiveness. It practcally
says, sheathe the sword; spike
the guns; dismantle the batteries;
turn the war-ship Constellation that
carried shot and shell, into a grain
ship to take food to famishing Ireland;
hook your cavalry horses to the
plow; use your deadly gunpowder to
blast rocks and for patriotic celebration;
quit your lawsuits; stop your
anonymous letters; take the sting out
of your sarcasm; drop all harsh words
out of your vocabulary; let your wit
coruscate, but let it never burn. Good
will to men! "Oh," says some one,
"You may adopt that" principle, I'll
j never adopt it. If my enemy wants
I ? * ? Tliwi Via TLMlt Viava to'

come and ask for forgiveness." If you
say that you are no Christian, or you
are a very mean specimen of a Christian.
If ye forgive not men their
trespasses neither will your heavenly
Father forgive you your trespasses, j
Forgive them if they ask it; forgive j
them, anyhow. Shake hands all
j around. Good will to men! Oh, thatj
the blessed spirit of our Lord Jesus
Christ would drop this morning into
J all our souls. What the world wants
is more kind words,' more helping
hands, more disposition to give other |
people a ride, more willingness to
take the heavy end of the load and
. give them the light end, more dispo
sition to ascribe good motives instead
? ? H
of bad, more willingness to find our
{.happiness in making others happy.
I Out of the Bethlehem crib let bear
'and lion.eat straw like An ox. Good
j. ? . t:,
. will to men! That principle will become
"dorftinant in all the earth untili
there will be only two antagonists
left, and they will side by side take'
the jubilant sleigh ride to which the
1 prophet seems to point when he says:1

Oh, my friend, I think that here is

more sympathy, more heavenly sympathy
with us than we sometimes
imagine, and that when a child is

man' is borne down with the weight of
yea.-s angels support him. Angels in
the hospitals to heal the sick. Angels
in the cemetery to guard our d?ad.
Angels in the church to cry heavenward
the news of repentant souls.
Angels aove the world. Angels under
the world. Angels all around the
world. Oh, if we could only rub from
our eyes the dust of our humanity and
could look up, we would see angels of
pity, angels of mercy, angels of rescue,
angels crowned, angels charioted. The
world defended by angels, girdled by
angels, cohorted by angels, clouds of

No more stellar solitariness for our

I remark again, that born :hat night
in the village barn was the < :Tender's
hope. Some sermonizer -iii.-ht say,
"you ought to hav* proj" : a that
idea at the beginning of the -- rmon."
No. I wanted to lead on :p to it.
I wanted to show you the -.paz and
the emeralds, and the ^cornelians of
lesser beauty befoi ? -froti sa v this
Kohinoor, this crown- fewei of the
ages. Ah! this jew> t had a v> ry poor
setting. Out of f* ar .is bor.i amid
the grand old pillars of the forest,
whelp of lion coming from the jungle
takes its first step on \ltmiri.-nt leaf,
and wild flower, kid of goat is born
in cavern chandeliered with stalactite
and pillared with stalagmite; but
Christ born in! the manger. And yet
from that nativity earnest the offender's
home. Over t:ie door of heaven
were written the words, -ahd are written
the words now: "NSxve but the
sinless can enter here." "Ah," you
say, "that is a great ispgvov fpr our
souls, then none oj" us can enter if
none but the sinless." But I nave to
tell you that Christ eapie into one
door and He went out the oilier door
of the world; He came into tr-e aoor
of the manger and He wet out
through the door of the sepulchre.
His one business was ivJ^&sh us from
sin so thoroughly that one second after
we are dead we-wii? have no more
sin about us than there"?!* about the
eternal God. You say that is putting
the case very strongly, i'know it is,
but that is what I understand about

holding with one hand the shinning
gate, waves the other hand out toward
you, saying:
"Come this way, father.
Steer straight for me;

Oh, I am so glad that when the angels
closed their concert that Christmas
night over the hills of Bethlehem
and they departed, they forgot to
shut the door, and it cannot be shut
again. It is wide open now. You
cannot shut out from us the glories
that are to come. The gate is
blocked open by hosannas marching
this way, and hallelujahs marching,
that. What more than all unnerves
me is the thought that all this is for
sinners such as you and I, are?all
this humiliation of the manger and
all the suffering of the cross. If it
had been only for those who had always
done right and always thought
right, and always acted right, we
would have had no interest in = it,
would have had no share, in it. W'e
would have stuck to our raft in mid
ocean and let the great ship of heaven
go by taking perfect passengers from
a perfect life on earth to a perfect life
in heaven. But no. I have he'ard that
the captain of that ship is the loving,
the kind, the sympathetc one who
hushed the tempest all around the
boat on Galilee, and that all his passengers
are sinners-isaved by grace.
So I hail that ship and it bears down

the earth, and all the heavens. Down

USE OLD CARPETS AND RUGS.
Providing floor coverings for the
home is often a question of making
the best of what materials are at
hand. Oneway of doing this, the
united states uepartmeru ui culture
points out, is to have new rugs
woven from old woolen carpets and
rugs too shabby to be used as such.
Factories for doing the work, may be.
found in many localities. The old
material is cut into strps about threefourths
of an inch wide, which, when
sewed together and twisted, make a
cord somewhat like chenille and form
the filling of the new rug. Cotton
string is used for the warp. These
rugs are heavy and soft, alike on both
sides, and durable, provided they are
cleaned carefully. They are generally
rather neutral in color and without
a definite design; orders, however,
may be woven from strips of carpet
of solid color, or figured carpet may
be dyed for this purpose. In general
about six and one-half pounds of
old carpet is required to make a
square yard of the rewoven fabric, depending,
of course, on the weight 01
the old material.
More people would be demanding
the bonus if they did not fear they
would have to pay for it.

that every quarter they propose to al- *
lot to the individual associations a
limited amount of funds.
*
The farmers desiring loans within
the terrtorial limits of Saxe-Gotha
National Farm Loan Association,
which is the local association, are re- fl
quested to make applieatons at once if
it is absolutely necessary for them to
have the money within the next ninety
days. If they do not have to have
the money within that time, they are
requested to reserve their applications
until the next quarterly allotment, and
thereby save for the intervening time
the money which is required of the applcant
at the time of filing hs appli- *
cation, as loans will be made now only
to those who are in urgent need.
From now on the Federal Land
Bank has restricted its loans to persons
who are engaged exclusively in
farming and in the cultivation of their
own farms, either with the help of
their families, or with wages hands, or
with share croppers.to whom they furnish,
besides the lands, enough to entitle
them to at least one-half of the
crops. . ;
