our present Christmases link them
selves to the Christmases that are

we think of the time when, with our

the past and talk alamt the events of
many Christmases that are gone us we

Jesus, when as an old or middle aged
woman she lived over the wonderful
events which piv eded and succeeded
the most impo-tant of all Christmases,

the house of Jacob forever, and of his
kingdom there shall be no end." Can
not yon see her breast heave? Can
yon not see her cheeks pale with emo
tion and then flush? Do you think
Mary could ever look back upon the
scenes of that first Christmas day
without picturing the scene where the
angel Gabriel told her that she was to
become the mot’, er of the promised
Messiah?
The Greatest Christmas of AH.
Many Christmases have come and
gone as they came and went for Mary.
But, as with the mother of Jemis
Christ, theoe Is one Christmas which
stands out above nil other Christmases.
That was the Christinas when for the
first time we felt that our hearts were
one with Jesus Christ’s heart. Before
that time we looked forward to Christ
mas ns the time we received a lot of
presents and could eat a pile of candy
or toward the time when we could get
a vacation from school and go skating
upon the river or go sliding down hill
upon our new sleighs. Rut one day
there came to us a message from
heaven as significant as that which the
angel Gabriel delivered to Mary. It
said: “Christmas is not simply a time
for fun. Christmas Is the day we cele
brate the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem
of Judea, that we. through him, may
become one with God." Oh, then, how
different were the Christmas saluta
tions with which we greeted our
friends! Oh, then, how different were
the hopes with which we looked for
ward to our sacred Christmases! Has
the angelic messenger appeared to you?
If he has not, will you not pray that
he may appear to you now. as he once
appeared to Mary to tell her that the
child who was to lie iwirn was the Bon
of God? "But Mary kept all these
things and jsindered them in her
heart."
There was another fact which must
have preyed much on Mary’s heart
and mind when she thought of the
events preceding that first Christmas
day. That was fhe ‘love and the gen
tleness and the faithfulness of her
companion and husband, Joseph, the
carpenter, who was to her what no
other human being was in her time of
trial and distress. Whenever she
thought of him it was always as the
God. She could not understand all
these mysteries. She did not try to
solve them, but she could not shut her
eyes to the many which were teed fled
to by thorn very witnesses. She eould ’ Hroulde are the means of bringing us
We must disappear into the impenetra
ble darkness. We must have our times
of trial, during which we seem to lose
sight of God’s fni*e. But these times of
not talk of them then, but she stored
those testimonies up Id her memory.
“Mary kept all these things and pon
dered them in her heart”
But there was another feeling of
gratitude which crept over Mary when
ever she thought about tbe incidents
preceding and succeeding tbrf? first
Christmas morn. That was the thank
fulness In her heart because God hud
cared for and protected her and her
dear family during all those days of
trial and ignominy. Never was there a
time when God’s eye was not watch
ing them and God's ear listening to
them and God’s hand guiding them.
Some of us may think that Mary and
Joseph were forgotten of God merely
because Jesus was horn in n manger,
but that Is not true. God was caring
for Mary just the same as God on this
Christmas Sabbath is caring for us.
Th« Journey to Egypt.
Then, again, there was that second
angelic messenger who appeared unto
Joseph at Bethlehem, saying. “Arise
and take the young child and Mary,
his mother, and flee Into Egypt, and
be thou there until I bring thee word,
for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him.” God not only protect
ed Mary on her journey to Bethlehem,
but he also continued the divine pro
tection over her ami the young child
at Bethlehem to ward off the murder
ous designs of a brutal king. Then
there was the long journey Into Egypt,
again the dangers of travel. Now,
they certainly had to Journey alone,
for they were fugitives from the royal
tyruut. Then there was the money
which God sent them In presents of
the wise men to feed them and to pro
vide for them when they were exiles
in the foreign land. Thus, as Mary
looks over the scenes of tbe past, can
she not see God’s protecting hand ev
ery whepe 7 Like the psalmist of oki,
could she not sing. “Thou prepares! a
table before me In the presence of
mine enemies; thou anolntest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over; surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me
ail the days of my life, and I will

NOTICE OF FINAL DISCHARGE*
Notice Is hereby given that I will
overwhelmed at the significance of his
message. She knew that she was pure
in body and in spirit, yet the strange
and marvelous statement was made
that she. a virgin, was selected from
all women to lincome the mother of
the coming Messiah. Oh. was there
ever news more momentous? Was
there ever a fact more overwhelming?
The Angel’s Visit.
Have you ever tried to picture this
angelic visitation? The more I have
thought upon tills scene the more real
istic it has become to me. In the first
place. I have always pictured Mary an
orphan. Her father and mother are
dead. Her brothers and sisters are
scattered. She Is about seventeen
years of age. She lias a sweet, pure
face. I do not believe even tbe in-
. . _ . . , _ ^ . spired genius of a Raphael or a Muril-
apply to Hon. J- E* Webster, Probate j 0 or a or „ Correggio has
Judge for Cherokee county, 8. C.. on
Saturday, January 4th, next at 10
o’clock A. M. for final settlement and
discharge as administrator of the ea-
ful husband. When he went to Beth
lehem he coujd not leave her liehind.
because her descent from David was
more important than his own. Then
he did not want to leave her behind
for fear she would not lie treated well.
Then his gentleness on tbe journey!
In order to make her trip easier Jo
seph brought her a donkey to ride.
That is the mode of transportation
which tin* poor in the east always use.
“But, Joseph." I think I hear Mary
say, “you cannot afford to buy that
beast for me. Why. in all probability
to buy it you sold some of your car
penter tools.” "Well,” 1 think I hear
Joseph say. "Mary, it Is best. You
could never walk all that long dis
tance in your present condition. I will
be able to pay for him by working a
little later at night.”
Mary and Joseph.
Then as Mary thinks of all that long
journey down to Bethlehem I think
she pictures Joseph as carefully lifting
her on the I»east of burden. Then
when night comes and the camp has
to be made I think she sees him cook
ing the simple meal and carefully cov
ering her up to sleep In the great
warm blanket. He brings her water
to drink. Then how careful and anx
ious he Is toward tbe end of the trip.
Yes, Mary could never think of the
events which led up to that tirst Christ
mas i?ay without picturing Joseph, the
tender Joseph, the loving Joseph, the
protector and friend. Yet Mary’s re
membrances of Joseph are not unlike
those we have of our dear ones who
during the merry Christmases have
come and gone.
Have we not had our faithful Josephs
In our past Christmases? How kind
and loving some of them have been!
There was your mother, the central fig
ure of your childhood’s Christmases.
How she ever enjoyed those Christ
mases Is beyond us. She used to work
so hard to prepare for them that she

half portrayed the purity and goodness
of her countenance. Then I have
thought she had a great wealth of
black hair and great black eyes. She
was at that- age when the stranger
could not tell whether she was a
schoolgirl or a young woman. She was
at what Is called the doubtful age of
womanhood.
Her work of the day is finished. The
ever?”
But. if Mary had her divine piMtec-
tion through the past Christmases, has
not God protected and cared for us
in the same' way during the many
Christmases that are gone? Has he
not fed you and clothed you and pro
tected you? Has not his right arm al
ways been about you? As with Mary,
has not God eared for you in the most
mysterious ways? John Kuox, the
great Scottish reformer, used to tell
this wonderful story; For years at the
dinner hour he sot at the head of the
table, with ids back to a certain win
dow. One night there was a strange
voice of warning, bidding him to sit
elsewhere and not allow any one to sit
In his regular place. Hardly was the
meal well under way than a bullet
crashed through that window, grazed
tbe chair at the head of the table and
buried Itself in the candlestick. Had
John Knox sat In his regular place
that night he surely would have been
killed, and the Scottish reformation, for
a time at least, would have been halt
ed. At once the Scottish reformer
dropped on his knees and thanked God
for protecting him and his dear ones.
As we hiok over our past Christmases,
like Mary, like John Knox, we can see
bow God’s hand has been guiding and
caring for us. Thus the divine protec
tion has been manifested not only In
one, but in many, many ways. Can
you not. O man. on this Christmaa day
ponder over God’s love and care as
did Mary when she looked over the
scenes preceding and succeeding that
first Christmas day, when Jesus was
born In Bethlehem of Judea?
A Way Through Trial*.
But, lastly. I would turn yourr atten
tion to one more fact. When Mary
thought over the scenes of her past life
she certainly must have thought of
those persecutions and bitter, heart
rending trials which made her take
that Journey to Bethlehem, so that
was more fitted to lie in lied than to j^jg j n ttj e fulfilling of prophecy,
be moving around and making her
to the manger, as Mary’s troubles were
the means of bringing her to Betble
hem '»f Judea, where Jesus was Itom
according to prophecy. Thank G<sl fo-
your troubles as well as for >our pleas
ant sunshine. He is guiding you with
his pillar of cloud ns well as with hi-
pillar of lire, as la? guided the children
of Israel during the long pilgrimage in
the w llderness.
Presents Not AH.
Tims on this Sabbath preceding our
Christmas festivities you have a great
deal more to think ulmtit limn simply
the prest?tbs which you are to receive
and the tokens of affection you are to
give to your dear ones. If you are to
spend this coming Christmas aright,
you must place alongside of It all the i
other Christmases of your past life. |
lou must thank God especially for j
that Christmas when Jesus tirst r<
veuled himself to you as a |>erxon;.l
Saviour. You must thank God that he
lias surrounded you this Christmas
with a great lead of [>eople who, like
the wise men of the east and the shep
herds, are ready to testify to you of
his love. You must thank God for
your trials and sorrows, by which your
heart lias Imen made more lender to
him and to your fellow men. It Is
right when you are thirsty to drink
of tbe water that flows at your feet.
But today, when we drink of these
streams of Christmas joy. we must as
wise men look up to the hills from
whence th**se streams come. Tbe birds
bathe their wings in the mountain
brooks, and as they bathe they lift
their voices and slug their praises un
to the God who has sent those brooks
gurgling down the mountain sides. So
may we lift our voices <»u this Christ
mas morn and praise God for all his
manifold blessings to us and to our
dear ones.
And. friends, if there are any who
have not yet praised him aud become
one with him. is there any better time
than on bis holy Christmas day? I re-
merober years ago when as a l>oy I
was called to the door. It was Christ
mas morning. 1 expected another
present was coming, lait Instead a
young girl came in crying. "Oh. Frank,
papa is dead!” Almost in a flash a
friend’s life was snuffed out on Christ
mas day. We all loved him much.
When we went in and saw him we
said. “Could a man go to meet his God
on a more lieautlful day than Christ
mas?” Ah. yes. there is a far better
use to put Christmas to than this.
That is to have our now birth on
Christmas. On this day. when all peo
pie are preparing to make merry, will
you not make It the happiest Christ
mas day in all your life? Will you not
make It a day when yon become one
of God's saints by Incoming one with
Christ? Then truly I can wish you
who have just given your heait to
Christ and are already his disciple a
merry Christmas. The hells of heaven
are now ringing out for a Joyful and
a triumphal Christinas anthem.

The Mexican Centennial.
Mexico has made great progress un
der President Diaz, and tbe advance
ment will be signalized in a remark
able manner at tbe celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of Mexican
independence. Sept. Ifi, 1910.
It might have been expected that the
celebration would take the form of an
exposition or world's fair In the capi
tal city, the conventional method of
celebrating such anniversaries.
The Mexican centennial will be cele
brated simultaneously in 900 cities and
towns by the starting of public Im
provements which will be of lasting
benefit to the communities.
It Is estimated that the average cost
of thi?se municipal enterprises will be
$100,000, and the total amounts which
will l>e spent on the various projects
before completion will approximate
$100,000,000. The municipal author!
ties are expected to ite prepared to
begin on the said date waterworks,
