GOLDEN TEXT?"For unto you Is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which Is Christ the Lord."?Luk? i I:1L | _ Almost twenty centuries ago, in an obscure village in Palestine, an event occurred which has had more influence upon the history of the human race than any other event since time began. A childd was born?not an unusual event surely. He was no Child of distinguished parents, nor a prospective ruler of a world's empire. He was born in a stable, and cradled in a manger. And yet around that lowly crib and humble birth, the life, | thoughts, and love of millions have from that day to this been centered. During these two thousand years many noble births have been registered, but none so great as this. Emperors, monarchs, and mighty men have lived and died, and are forgotten; natlonB-have risen and waned; but the biVth of the Christ child is more influential in this day than on the first birthday of our age twenty centuries ago. The announcement of Christ's birth was made by angels. What more fit- | ting accompaniment could there be to such an august event! How interested angels s.re in the welfare of mankind! How gladly they told the Christmas story to a handful of poor shepherds! How free from pride they were! They were not content that one of their number should tell the \ cfnrv fhov all k?#.LA ?> * i? V> ? ? imv/ an uiunt? uui iu luai Bicai Christmas anthem. Do wo believe in angels any more? We used to. We used to sing "there are angels hovering round." If we believe the Bible, we still believe in the ministry of angels. Onward we go for still we hear them singing; Angels sing on, your faithful watches keeping. Sing us sweet fragments of the song ; above. The announcement was made to a small band of shepherds. No angelic host went to the Sanhedrin, or to the palace of Herod and broke the news of the birth of the Christ child. Is there not a lesson here? Does not God have special regard for the lowly a^id the humble? Hath not God chosen the weak things to confound the mighty? If angels were willing to preach to a few farmers, should the preacher be ashamed of ministering to a small and humble people, or the - Sunday school teacher to a small | class? I The scholars of the land were also | notified of Christ's birth. The Scrip- | ture does not say?"not any wise men i are called," but "not many." It Is a i mistake to say that religion Is good < enough for women, and children, but ! i notbrainy men. The | bralnest men of the ages have been Christian men: Gladstone, the great , statesman; Blackstone, the great law- ( yer; Herschel, the great scientist? ( these and many others, too numerous , to name, have been Christians So it ^ has come to pass that the wise men of the east have been followed by the ( wise men of the west, and they all ( have bowed at this manger. The rea- , son why every university must have . its chapel is because brainy men must have a place to worship. / That the birth of Christ was mysterious and miraculous need not disturb us. How Christ'B body was prepared. how the divine and human could become one?who can tell? We do not even understand our own birth, let alore His. If ever anything of a miraculous nature should take place, when should It be if not now when the King of all laws Is coming into the world? Let us be careful lest in denying tile virgin birth, we challenge the purity of the Virgin's life. The birth of Christ was the coming of God to and in man, not that God had never come to man before, for he had. But he had come only as a sojourner. In Christ he came to abide. His name is "Immanuel,?God with us." Whatever else the incarnation may mean, it certainly means that | God took our nature and became as i one of U3?he came unto his own. The birth of Christ brings to us good tidings of great Joy. If the an gels sang, should not we? He came to save not angels, but men. The first note of this angelic song Is a note of gladness, and song has characterized Christianity. This birth in Bethlehem shows God's j attitude toward men. God has good will toward men. He is not the hard, severe judge that men so often wrongly picture him to be. Sinner, you have cursed God, but he has not 1 cursed you back; you have lifted your : hands against him. but he has not destroyed you. He has thoughts of kindness, and of love toward you. If you have wrong thoughts of God. let | them die away in the music of that first Christian anthem, "good will toward men." The Christian story brings to us j also a Savior. Jesus Christ was born with reference to sin. lie was the only mau that ever was born with reference to that great fact. Other great men were teachers and reformers?he alone could cave men from their sins His name Ehall be called Jesus and he shall save his people from their sins. This is good tidings of great joy to a sin-stricken world. If Christ the Lord cannot save you from your sins, no one else can. He is a personal Savior?unto you | he was born; he is a mighty Saviorhe is Christ, the Anointed. The man who believes what God says can roll the mountains out of the water wherever he goes. China.

A story Is being told at the expense if nn old English farmer who was recently called upon to explain why he had failed to take out a license for a favorite fox terrier dog. " 'E's nob- < huf a nunnv " fhn defendant remarked, i In response to a question as to the animal's age. "Yes, yea! So you sny. But how* old Is he?" "Oh, wcel, I couldn' tell to a bit," was the reply "I never was much good at remembering dates, but 'e's nobbut a puppy." On the other hand, it was maintained that the animal in question was a very, very old-fashioned puppy, and the magistrate inflicted the usual fine, i Shortly afterward the farmer was met ' by a friend who wanted to know how he bad fared at the police court. "Nobbut middlln'," was the reply. "Did tbqy fine you?" "Yes," responded the fictim; "on' 'ang me if I can understand it! Last year an' the year ] afore that I told the same tale about J the same dog, on' it wor alius good enough afore! Who's been tamperln' wi' the law sin' las: year?" IN AGONY WITH ITCHING "About four years ago I broke out > with sores on my arms like boils. After two months they were alb over my j body, some coming, and some going away. In about six months the boils quit, but my arms, neck and body j broke out with an itching, burning rash. It would burn and itch, and come out in pimples like grains of nbeat. I was In a terrlblo condition; , I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my Qesh were raw, and I could scarcely bear my clothes on. I could not lie in bed in any position and rest. In ibout a year the sores extended down lo my feet. Then I suffered agony with the burning, itching sores. I hardlv walk and for a lone time [ could cot put on socks. "All this time I was trying every- ! thing I could hear of, and had the skill of three doctors. They said It'was eczema. I got no benefit from all this. I was nearly worn out, and had given up in despair of ever being cured j when I was advised by a friend to try j Cutlcura Remedies. I purchased Cuticura Soap.

DICTATOR MENA HAS REINS The Second President He Has Forced Out?The Financial Situation Is Very Serious?The American Firms Here Are Losing Heavily. New Orleans.?President Adol/o f)laz of Nicaragua has asked for a three months leave of absence, according to reliable newB advices received lere. It Is generally conceived that his step means bis abdication in favor f General Louis Mena, Minister of Wat*, who now is the virtual dictator jf the turbulent republic. Serious friction between President Diaz and General Mena has existed for some time and Diaz has been President in name only. General Mena, who, it is'stated, now occupies the presidential palace, has absolute control of the Nicaraguan army and Congress as well. He recently was elected President by the "constituent assembly" for the term beginning January 1, 1913, but the friction between Mena and Diaz became so intense that the latter's friends are said to have advised him lo resign and leave the country "for his health." General Mena forced President Juan Estrada out of office last year in much the same manner. Estrada now is in New York. The finances at Nicaragua are reported to be in worse condition today than ever before. As a result of this financiln situation American firms are reported to have lost heavily. THE DAIRIES IN THE SOUTH The Soutehrn Railway Will Run a Dairy Car Over Its Lines. Washington, D. C.?Realizing the need of the South for more and better dairies and the large profits which can be made in that favorable region by dairymen who will fill the great | demand of the cities for dairy products, President Finley of the Southern Railway Company, following the custom of that company in /urtherlng in every way the growth and development of its territory, has equipped a Special Dairy Car, which, beginning the 1st of February, 1012, will be run over the length and breadth of this great system, spreading the doctrine of more and better cows and, by means of lectures, demonstrptiens and exhibits. This Dairy Special will be under the direct supervision of Dr. C. M. Morgan, of Washington, D. C., the Southern Railway's Dairy Agent. Dr. Morgan will be assisted by two regular dairymen in conducting the work and from time to time the car will be j occupied by dairy experts from the United States Department of Agriculture, the State Boards of Agriculture 1 and from the Agricultural Stations of the various States along the Southern Railway. The Dairy Special Is fitted up with a complete farm dairy, every piece of machinery and apparatus necessary to the economical production of milk, cream, and butter having been in- | stalled under the direction of Dr. Mor- j Kan. There will be a separator, I chums, testers, sterilizer, Pasteurlzing apparatus and exhibits of various kinds of Improved machinery fcr | dairying. On the walls of the car will be charts and large views dealing with dairy subjects, showing the fundamental principles of breeding dairy types, feeding animals, the care cf dairy cattle and pictures of famous animals in the dairy world. The Special will also have steropticon lantern and slides, permitting illustrated lectures at the various stops by Dr. Morgan and the other ex perts who will accompany the car. Advance schedules of the stops will be prepared and full advertisement given the train in the towns at which lectures are to take place. Transport Logan Sails For China.
