About nineteen hundred years ago
there occurred in Bethlehem, a village
of Judea. the most notable event in the
world's history. An event that changed
the calendar of time and eclipsed the
creed and faith of nations and has established
the Christian religion in all
civilized countries. This event was but
the birth of a little child, but no other
child was ever heralded by the angels
singing. "Glory to God in the highest,
on earth peace and good will to man."
From the very first that child was a
ouo|icti uiiu ncruu was aiarmeo. ne
was not a Jew but was a convert to
the Jowish religion, and it was wliispered
to him that the child was the Son
of Qod and would grow up and rule
the people and take Mis kingdom away
from Him. He did not believe it. hut
it alarmed him. for it came to him
from many sources and he determined
t^? put an end to it hy killing the child.
In the meanwhile the angels came and
spirited the child and its mother away
hy night to Egypt. Nobody in Bethlehem
knew tiie child or its mother, and
so Herod's cruel murderers could not
find them. Herod said they were hidden
around them among the poov people.
and so to make it sure he ordered
trie murderers to go from hot'.si to
house and kill every child under two
years old. and they did it. Was there
ever such horrible brutality? It was
worhc than Pharoah, who ordered the
midwives to kill the male Infants of
the Hebrews, hut to leave the females
alive. Is it not strange that men can
be found who would kill little innocent
ehildrcti just to please a king? I wonder
how they killed them. Did they
cut their throats or smother them or
1; lirw.Lr H I- n-- ?
111 mi- iifuu or scan thorn to
the heart? Did they snatch them from
their mothers' arms while they screamed
and begged for mercy? Did they
leave tlu-m there in their blood or
throw them in wagons and haul tjiem
away to the potter's field. Historians
say those murderers probably killed a
thousand, for they did not stop at
Bethlehem but went all along the coast
regiou where the fishermen lived.
What a creature that man Herod must
have been. No wonder that the Lord
sent worms to prey upon him and eat
him up while he was yet. alive.
But the little child escaped, and with
Joseph and its mother stayed in ICgypt.
until Herod was dead. He grew up to
manhood and was crucified by his own
people and then they began to persecute
iiis followers. For about three
hundred years the Christians were pursued
and driven from place to place
and suffered martyrdom for their faitn.
They had no peac ? or protection umil
Constantlne the Great came into power
and took pity upon them. Before that
they had no friend at court in any
kingdom. In tlie second century Diocletian
pretended to tolerate them
while they were quiet and made no
public demonstration, but one time
they secured the use of an old church
and all gathered tnere to have service
and commemorate the birth of their
Savior and start a Christian custom.
This made Diocletian very mad. and
after the men and women and children
were all inside and had begun service,
he sent some brutes there and locked
the doors'and barred the windows and
set the house on lire and burned them
all up. It*is amazing how Christianity
could live and survive tf?
for the first five hundred years. History
says it is impossible to estimate
the number of those who suffered martyrdom
for their faith, but there were
thousands anil tens of thousands.
Some were beheaded, others thrown to
wild beasts and others crucified. Nero
had some of them smeared with tar
and fired by night in the public streets.
Marcus Aurelius had thent chained to
the seats of red hot iron chairs. St.
Hiandina and St. Kelicuaa. who were
noble Roman ladies, were compelled to
witness the torture and death of their
children and were then beheaded.
These are only mentioned as examples
of what thousands suffered.
But neither the world, the flesh nor
the devil could stop the sure r.nd steady
progress of Christianity. Christmas
has come to stay. It means a ceremony,
a festival of love and loyalty to Him
who was horn on that day. In Protestant
Germany it is called the children's
festival and they are taught that the
Savior loves them and cares for them
and said "Suffer little children to come
unto Me, for such is the kingdom of
heaven."
Christmas signifies a new era?a new
date to time and chronology. The hgures
on each letter head and on every
note and account and receipt prove the
birth of Christ. Jews, Gentiles, atheists.
infidels, skepth s. every civilized
nation and every man and woman hav
to use these figures whether they believe
them or not. it is wonderful,
wonderful. And now we are all Hearing
another Christmas. It may rot be
the exact anniversary of the Savior's
birth, and there are many learned commentators
who say that the shepherds
did not watch their flocks by night in
mill >-> IIIKI iiui MVI t- lOMi, *;i\iii III until
about April. Be that aa it may. the
good Christians of the third century,
the fathers of the church. ni?-t end
made it a movable festival to he held
in April or in May. Bat a haul'd
years later St. Cyril had the pope and
the priesthood to meet and tix a my,
a day certain, and after lan eossbUiit
tlon the 25th of December was agiud
upon by the majority, and th" rest
concurred. Not because any of them
believed that was the true anniversary
of the Savior's birth, but because :hnt
day would better suit the masses of the
people.
But. my young friends. Christmas is
a time for love and kindness, a time
for peace and good will. It is a time
to give gifts and make little presents,
and to brighten up the homes of the
poor. This is better than fireworks and
noise and is far more appropriate to
the day. The wise men brought to the
Infant Savior gifts?costly gifts, and If
we have nothing else to give, we can
certainly give a smile to those '.ve maot
and wish them a happy Christmas.?

American Hammers Excel. ,
Of the hammers made in America today
there is no end. says The American
Importer. There is the tiny litI
tie tack hammer which weighs only
a few ounces, and is indispensable in
house, store, or factory. Then there
is the twenty and thirty ton hammer
driven by steam and used for making
immense forging?.. The numberless
| effects \ ill h are due to Its remark
able force of impact have made the
hammer a necessity in all trades. Im- i
nicn.se manufactories, employing tliou'
sands of men. arc grinding year in and
year out making hammers, while ten
times as many wholesale houses are
busy putting the product on the market.
The industry has advanced to !
: uch a singe that manv general hard
ware linns in the United Slates have
thrown out the hammer, leaving it to J
lie houses that deal in tools exelu- j
slvvly. In the South Sea Islands tree- '
felling contests are of such importance I
that specially made axes are imported |
' for the work from America. So skilled .
are these woodmen of the South Seas
in felling timber that a dozen blows on
the trunk of a tree will show but the
one gash, as though done by a single
blow of mighty power.
