Tlu* (’i«oour?e of Dr. Tnltuaire is full of tin* nativity ami appi.i|iria!e for tin* liulidny;?; u>.\t, Luke ii, 1C. "Ami thoy cairn 1 wnli haste autl fomal Mary ainl .losoph and the Babe lyin" in a maujtt r.” The biiu k window shutters of a De cember niftht were thrown open, and some cf the best sin^r rs of a world Where they all sing stood there and, putting back the drapery of cloud, chanted a peace anthem until all the echoes of hill and valley applauded and | encored the halleluiah chorus. Come, ; let us go into that Christmas scene as , though we had never before worship- ( ed at the manger. Here is a Madonna ; worth looking at. I wonder not that the most frequent name in all lands and in all Christian centuries is Mary. ; And there are Marys in palaces and Marys in cabins, and, though (lerinan and Fn nch and Italian and Spanish ( and English pronounce it diTerentiy, they are all namesakes of the otic j whom we liud on a bed of straw, with her pale face against the soft cheek of j Christ in the irght of the nativity. All i the great painters have tried, on can- , vas. to present Mary and her child and ! the incidents of that most famous night | of tlie world’s history. Raphael, in three different masterpieces, celebrated j them. Tintoretto and *ihirlaudnju s’ur- | passed themselves in the adoiatldp of 1 the Magi. Correggio needed to do no more than his Madonna to he conn; iui tr mal. The “Madonna of the Idly,” by 1 .‘onardo da Vinci, will kindle tiie ad miration of all ages. But all the gal- Jjries of Dresden are forgotten when . . think of th»“ small room of that gal- | lery containing the “Si.stine Madonna.”. Yet all of them were copies of St. Mat- | -how’s Madonna and Luke's Madonna, the Inspired Madonna of the old book which we had put into our hands when we were infants and that we hope to have uudoi cur beaus when we die. Drute Croatlou Honored. Behold, in the first place, that on the j first night of Christ's life Cod honored j the brute creation. You cannot get in to that Bethlehem barn without going j part the camels, the mules, tin* dogs, , the oiien. The brutes of that stable ! heard C:e first cry of the infant Lord. Some of tlu* old painters represent the oxen and camels kue ling that night before the newborn babe. And well might they kneel! Have you ever thought that Christ came, among other things, to alleviate the- sul;.; mg.-t of , the brute creation? Was it not appro priate that he should, during the first few days and nights of his Ih'o on earth, he surrounded by tin* dumb beasts, whore m -an and plaint and bellowing have f. r :•s been a j raver ; to (le d for the ntTes ing of their tor tures am! the righting of Hi !r wrongs? j N< t a kennel in ;..i th ■ c nturies, not a bird's la st, not a worn >nt horse on towpe.lb. not .a h rd freer.big in the poorly i n’t cowpen. n- t a freight ear In van n r tin •* bringing tie* l> •ev s to market without water tin r.gh ji in m- fiaml milt s of a; 'my. n t a s urgeon's i room witnessing the r.ruggms c.f fox or rabbjt or pigeon or il g in the nor- j Tors of vivisection but has an inter st in the fact that Christ was born In a stable surrounded by brutes.

It was a child iti Nanmnn’s kitchen that told the great .Syrian warrior where he might go and get cured of the h prosy which at Ids seventh plunge in the Jordan was left at the bottom of the river. It was to the cradle of leaves in which a child was lain, rock ed by the Nile, that God called the at-, tent ion of history. It was a sick child that evoked CTnist’s curative sympa thies. - It was a child that Christ set in the midst of the squabbling disciples to teach the lesson of humility. A child decided Waterloo, showing the army of Blucher how it could take a short cut through the fields when, if the old road had been followed, the Prussian general would have come up too late to save the destinies of Europe. It was a child that decided Gettysburg, ho having overheard two Confederate gen erals iu a conversation In which they decided to march for Gettysburg in stead of Harrisburg, and, this report- id to Governor Curtin, the Federal forces start* d to meet their opponents at Gettysburg. And today the child is to decide all the great battles, make Hi: r. r i.M m'u;:.:i!t an n .a hem without .' .

Men, women, nations, all earth and all heaven, behold the child! A Tribute to Science. Notice also that in this Bible night scene God honored science. Who are the three wise men kneeling before the Divine Infant? Not boors, not igno ramuses. but Caspar, Balthasar and Melchior, men who knew all that was to be known. They were the Isaac Newtons and Ilerschels and Faradays of their time. Their alchemy was the forerunner of our sublime chemistry, their astrology the mother of our mag nificent astronomy, and when I see these scientists bowing before the beau tiful babe I see the prophecy of the time when all the telescopes and micro- Murillo. the Spanish‘artist, in his Ma- douna make it a Spanish face? 1 nev er heard, hut I think they took their own mothers as the type of Mary, the mother of Christ. When you hear some one in sermon or oration speak iu the abstract of a good, faithful, houest mother, your eyes li 1 up with tears while you say to yourself, “That was my mother.” Waiting at ttie Tliroue. The first word a child inters is apt to be “mother.” and the old man in his dying dream calls: "MMlior! Mother!’’ It matters not win ther she was brought up in the surroundings of a city and in affluent home and was dressed ap propriately with reference to the de mands of modern lit> or whether she scopes, and all the Leyden jars, and 1 wore the oh 1 , time c: p and great, round i all the electric batteries, and nil the observatories, and all the universities sliiill l ow to Jesus. It is much that way already. Where is the college that does not have morning prayers, thus bowing at the manger? Who have been the greatest physicians? Omitting the names of the living lest we should he invidious, have we not had among them Christian men like James Y. Simpson and Rush and Valentine Mott and Abercrombie ami Abernethy? Who have been our greatest scientists? Jo seph Henry, who lived and died iu the faith of the gospels, ami Agassi/., who, standing witli Ids students amoiiv die hilis, took oti Ids luit and said. " Young I w. n gentlemen, before we study these *.e"l;s let us pray for wisdom to the Cod j who made the rocks.” All geology will yet bow before tbe Bock of A : .s. All botany will yet worship the Bose of Sharon. All astronomy will yet reeog- ! nine the Star of Bethlehem. S’li-J.b.-i'i. s Were Weloomi-il.

But no, no! Motherhood for ali time was to be consecrated, and one of the tender est relations was to be the maternal re lation and one of the sweetest words, i “mother.” In Jill ages God has honored good motherhood. John Wesley had a j good mother; St. Bernard had a good ( mother; KuniucI Budgett.a good moth er; Doddridge, a good mother; Walter Scott, a good mother; Benjamin West, a good mother. In a great audience, most of whom were Christiiins, 1 asked that all those who had been blessed of Christian mothers arise, and almost | the entire assembly stood up. Do you j not see how important it is that all I motherhood be consecrated? Why did j Titian, the Italian artist, when he sketched the yj/idonmi make it an it:il- lan face?

Invlsifde wires were stretched through tlu*:i) and connecteil with hundreds of small in candescent electric light globes, which peeped out from the green houghs on walls and coiling. Each globe was shaped like jiii orchid and shone with a pale green light that lent reality to the semblance of tbe rare woodland flower. Over the erash that covered the floor had been strewn pine boughs tangles of thick woodland moss and bushels of autumii leaves in all their rich tints of scarlet, yellow and gray. A round ta ble. eight feet in diameter, made of un- fiuished oak, rose from the litter of moss and haves, and its stout figs were completely cover d with green aud gray moss. Hanged around the table \ ;e the ten chairs, each of which, especial ly built for this occasion, was made of black birch boughs fashioned in v;::i d rustic designs stud with the bark left on tin* surface. The center cf the table was a mound of maidenhair fern, moss and oak haves In their autumnal tints. Twenty or thirty electric* globes, like those pet p- ing from tin* wails, were arranged among the ferns and mosses in the cen ter of tiie table, and in front of each cover was a cluster of thirty of the rarest of natural green orchids that the hothouses of New York could supply. There was no other illumination of tin* room than that furnished by the green globes of the siiuiil electrie lights, and the* effect was like Unit of twilight in a pine forest.
