TALMAOK'M SUNDAY TI1K.MK Out of tho Ilctlilchciii Crib Cain* "I'caoe ou Kartli, <i*?o?l Will to Men." Text: "Now wiieu ".Tonus was born In Ctthlehem."?Matthew ii.. At mi*1ni?r)it 'roni ou? of th'? sallorics ol tho sky a chant broke. To an oriliuary observer there wan no reason for such a celestial demonstration. A poor man nud wife-travelers, Joseph and Mary by name?hail lodvred in an out-house of au unimportant village. Tho supremo hour of solemnity had passed, and upon tho pallid forehead ami cheek of Mary. God had set tho dliruity, thi irraudeur, tho tenderness, theeverlasting and divine siguitlcnuon of motherhood. B?'* ..uch scenes had often occurred in Beth1ft Id tin Vi?f linvae hof.v?.? h",l > ? ??.??? ? tljc< il <>r hart a baton of light marshaled ovot tho lulls winged orchestra. If thoro hart been such brilliant anil mighty recognition at an advent in tho house of 1' laraoh, or at an solvent in tho house of Cu* ar, or the house ol H ipsburg, or the houso of Stuart, wo would not so much have won'.erei; hut a burn soems too poor a eontor for.such delicate and urohangelic circumference. Thostagoseems too small for so great nu act, the music too graud for suoh unuppreoiative auditors, tho window of the stable too rude to be serenaded by other worlds. It is my joy to toll you what wa< born that night in the villas;" barn, and as I want to make my discourse cumulaiivo and eiiuiaeteric I begin in the flrst plaee by tolling you that that night in the Bethlehem manger was born encouragement for nil the poorly start od. He hart only two friends?they liis parents. No satin lined cradle, no delicate attentions, but straw and the cattle and the coarse joke anil banter of the camel drivers. No wonder the mediaeval painters represent the oxen as kneeling before the infant Jesus, for there were no men there at that timo to worship. From the depths of that poverty Ho rose until to- lay Ho is honored in all Christendom and sits ou the imperial throne in heaven. What name is mightiest to-day in Christendom? Jesus. Who has more friends on earth than any other being? Jesus. Before whom do the most thousands kneel in chapel and church and cathedral at this hour? Jesus. From what depths of poverty to what height of renown! And so let nil tbosr who are poorly started remember that thej cannot bo more poorly horn or more disadvantageously than this Christ. Let them look up to His example while they have time IUJU IlllHUII} H> IIIIIIIIIO 11. Do you know that tho vast majority of the worhFs lieliverera had harnlikc birthplaces'.!

Kitto anil Pridcaux, whose keys unlocked now apartments in the holy Scriptures whiol: had never been entered, horn in want. Yes 1 have to tell you that nino out of ton of th? world's deliverers were horn in want. I stir your holy ambitions to-da.v, and J want to toll you, although tho whole work may bo opposed to you, and insido and outsido of your occupations or profession! thore may be those who would Hinder youi ascent, on your side and enlisted in your behalf are tho sympathetic heart and tin almighty arm of ono who one Christina, night about 1805 years ago was wrapped ii swaddling clothes and laid in amat.gor. Oh, what rnagnltlcent encouragement for tin poorly started! Again, I have to tell you that in thai village lmrn that night was horn good will tc men, w hether you call it kindness or forehearanee or forgiveness or genialty or affection or love. It was no sport of high heavni to send its favorite to that humiliation. Ii was sacrilloe for a rebellious world. Attei the calamity in Paradise not only did tho os begin to gore, and the adder to sting, and tho elephant to smile with his tusk, and tin lion to put to had use tooth aud paw, tail under the very tree from which the forbid den fruit was plucked were hatched out war and revenge and malice aud envy and jealousy and the whole brood of cockatrices. Hut against that scene I set the Rethloheu manger, which says. "Mess rather thai curse, endure rather than assault." and thn Christmas night puts out vindietiveness. I says, "Sheathe your sword, dismount you guns, dismantle your batteries, turn tlx warship Constellation that carries shot ani shell into a grainsltip to take fooil to fam isliing Ireland, hook your cavalry horse tt the plow, use your deadly gun-powder ii blasting rocks ami in patriotic celebration stop your lawsuits, ipiit writing anonymous letters, extract the sting front your sarcasm let your wit coruscate hut never burn, dro| all the harsh words oat of your vocabulary ?'Good will to men.' " "Oh." you say. "1 can't exercise it; I won' exercise it until they apologize I won't for give them until they ask me to forgiv them." You are no Christian then?I sa; you are no Christian, or you aro a very in consistent Christian. If you forgive no men their trespasses, how can you ox nee vour heavenly Father to forgive you? For give I hem if they ask your forgiveness an forgive them any how. Shako hands al around. "Good will to men." O my Lord Jesus, drop that -pirit into al our hearts this Christmas time. I tell vol what the world wants more than nnviiiin; else?more helping hands, more sympathetic hearts, more kinil wor Is that never die, mor disposition to give other people a ride, am to carry the heavy end of tho'oad and triv< other people the light end. and to aseribi good motives instea i of bad, and to find on happiness in making others happy. Out of that Bethlehem crib let the bear am the lion eat straw like the ox. "Oood wil to men." That principle will yet settle al controversies, and under it the worl l wil keep on improving until there \7ill lie .inly two antagonists in ail the earth, and ihey will side hv side take the jubilant sleigh rid' intimated by the prophet when he said "Holiness shall lie on the bells of the horses.'

Tue meleors aro with us, for one of them run to point down to the birthplace. The heavens ure with us, 9 because at tho thought of our redemption tbov roll hosunnas out of the midnight sky. Oh, yes, ? do not know but our world may be better surrounded than wo have somii limes imagined, and when a child is born, angels bring it. and when it dies, angels i take it, nnd when an old u?nn bonus under the weight of years, augeis uphold lain, and when a heart breaks, angels soothe it. Angels In the hospital to take care of 'bo sick. I Angels in the cemetery to watch our dead. Augeis in the church ready to fly heaveuI ward with the news of repentant souls. I Angels above tho world. Angels under the , world. Angels till around tho world. Hub tho dust of human imperfections out of your eyes, and look into the heavens and see angels of pity, angels of mercy, augeis of pardon, angels of help, nngcls crowned, augeis charioted. The world defended by angels, girdled by angels, cohorted by angels j ?clouds of angels. Hear David ory_out : 11.*- vikiiiuim ui una are gu.ouu. fcven [ thousands of angels." But the mightiest angel stood not that night in tho clouds over i Bo h'.ehoni; the mightiest angel that ipight [ lay among thu cattle? the angel of the uew covenant. i As the clean white linen was being i wrapped around the little form of that child I emperor, not a cherub, uot a seraph, not an angel. n< i a world hut wept and thrilled and iltoutet'. Oli. yep, our world has plenty of sympathisers! Our world is only a silver rung of a great ludder at the top of which is our Father's house. No more stellar solitariness lor our world, uo other friendless plansis spun out into space to freeze, but a world in the bosom of divine maternity. A star harnessed to a manger. Again, I remark that that night horn In thnt village barn was the offender's hope. Some sermonizers may say I ought to have projected this thought at the begiunlng of the sermon. Ob.no! I wanted you to rise toward it. I wanted you to examine the car nollans and the jaspers and the crystals before I show you the Kohinoor?the crown jewel of the ages. Oh. that jewel had a very poor setting! The cub of bear is born amidthe grand old pillars of the forest, the whelp of lion takes its tlrst stop from the jungle of 1 luxuriant leaf and wild flower, the kid of 1 goat is born in cavern chandellered with stalactite and pillared with stalagmite. Christ ? was born In a bare burn. ' Yot that nativity was the offender's hopeOver the door or heaven are written these 1 words: ''None but the sinless may enter * here." "Oh, horror." you say, "that shuts us all out!" No. Christ came to the world ! in one door, an I He departed through an1 other door. He otme through the door of i the manger, and He departed through tho door of the sepulcher, aud His one busiucss ' was so to wash away our sin that aftei we are dead there will bo no more sin about us than about tho eternal God. 1 know that is t putting it strongly, but that is what I uni derstand by full remission. All erased, all washed away, nil scoured out. all goue. I That un lergir lling and overarching and ir1 radiating and imparadfsitig possibility for you. and for rr.e, and for tho whole race,' that was given that Christmas night. Do you wonder we bring flowers to-day to f celebrate such an event? Do you wonder iuui wo i?Ko organ mm youtn'ui voice nuo queenlv soloist to celebrate it? Do you wonder thut Raphael and Rubens and Titian and Giotto and Ghirlandajo and all tho old Italian and German painters gave tho mightiest stroke ot their genius to sketch the Madonna, Mary, nn t her boy? Oh! now I see what the maugcr wns. Not so high the gilded and jeweled and embroidered cradle of the Henrys of Knghrid. or the Louis of France, or tho Fredericks of Prussia. Now I find out that that Bethlehem crib fed not so much tho ox?'u of the stall as the white horses of Apocalyptic vision. Now I fin 1 the swaddling clothes enlarging an I emblazoning into an imperial robe for a conqueror. Now I And that the star of that Christmas night was only tho diamoudod sandal of Him who hath the moon under His feet. Now I come to understand that the music of that night was not a completed song, hut only the stringing of tho instruments for a great chorus of two worlds, the bass to he carried by earthly Nations saved, and the soprano by kingdoms of glory won. Oh. heaven, heaven, heaven! I shall meet you there. After all our Imperfections are gone I shall meet you there. I look out today. through the mists of year', through the fog that rises from tho cold Jordan, thiough , the wide open door of solid pearl to that reI union. I expect to sec you there as certainly us I soe you here. What a time we shall , have in high converse, talking over sins pardoned and sorrows comforted and battles triumphant! J Some of your children have already gone, and though people passing along the street and seeing white crape on the doorbell may t have said, "It is only a child." yet when the broken hearted father came to solicit my t service, he said. "Conic around and comfort us. for wo loved her so much." What a Christmas morning it will make when those with whom you used to koepthc holidays nro all around you in heaven! Silver haired old father young again, au I mother who had so many allies and pains and decrepitudes well again, and nil your brothers and sisters ami the Utile ones. How glad they will ho to see you! They have been waiting. The Inst time they saw your face it was covered with tears and distress, and pallid from long watching, ami one of tliem I can imagine to-day, with tine hand holding fast the shilling gate, and the other hand swung out toward you, saying "Steer this way, father, steer straight for me; Here safe in heaven T am waiting for thee." Oh. those Bethlehem ange!s, when they went bank nfter the concert that night over the hills, forgot to shut the door! All the secret is out. No more use of trying to hide from us I ho glories to come. It is too Into to shut Hit* gate. II is blocked wide open with liosatinas marching this way, anil halleluiahs marching thai way. In llie splendor of the anticipation I feel as if I was dying ?not physically, for I never was more well ?but in ttie transport of the Christmas truns11 go rat ion. What almost unmans me is the thought that it is provided for sucii sinners as you and T have been. If it ba I been provide ! only for those who had al .vnys thought right and spoken right and acted right, you an t 1 would lmvo had no interest in it. had no share in it. you and F would have stuck to the raft midoecan, and let the ship sai' by carrying perfect passengers from u perfect life on carl li to a perfect life in heaven, lint 1 have heard the commander of that ship is the same great and glorious and sympathetic one who hushed the tempest around the boat on Galilee, and I have heard that all the passengers on the ship are sinners saved by grace. And so we bail tlie ship, an l it boars down this way. and we < una by the side of it and ask the Captain two question*, "Who nro Thou?" and ''whence?" And lie says.

Don't ever select a gift at random, however slight. In purchasing each one, give oaretal thought, as to suitability for the one it i9 intended. Doh't purchase a duplioate of what j the rdooiver may have. Many times a little ^thought will prevent this. Don't forgo! the person's taste for whom the ! gift is intended.' It may differ from yours, so select it with an eye for them, rather than yourself. Don't give a watoh case to one who you know has no watoh, as it will be tnorely au aunoyanoe. Don't give celluloid boxes, eto., to one who despisos flimsy things, and calls them "tawdry," but send them rather to the maiden who calls them "dainty." Don't send the sweetest girl yon j know of an expeusive box of flowers, : that will wither and fade in a few days, bnt rather bay hor a beautiful j palm, a dainty fern, or a stately rbu ber plant. With oare, they will grow more/and more lovely, and koep your memory green. Who knows what happy day dreams that sweetest girl may weave while tending the plants, your love thoughts for her? Don't send a box away to distant friends without a note, however short, expressing the love and good will you feci to them; you don't know how much more valuable it will make the gift seen. Don't expect to have a happy Ghristmas while cherishing hate, jealousy or discord in your heart. Turn them out for they are evil guests.

For several years she was so afflicted with this distressing malady that she was hardly able to Ret around, and could do littlo to care for her children, which made her suffering all the harder to boar. Her husbaud. Charles Newell, who is a well-known New Yortt optician, tried in every way to find a remedy for his wife, but no medicine seemed to have the power to remove her pain. Mrs. Glyno,'a slstor of Mrs. Newell, is a professional nurse, and was familiar with the symptoms of her sister's sickness. Mrs. Newell was away ou a visit when a reporter called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives at No. 410 Fast One-hundred and-l woutioth Street, told the story of hor sister's recovery. A doctor was called when Mrs. Nuwell's condition became serious and ho prescribed small piuk pills which, in n short time, relieved the woman's pain ns no other inedicino had done. "After awhile," Mis. Glynn told the reporter, "wo learned that the medicine the physician was giving my sisler was nothing more thau l)r. Williams' l'ink Fills lor Fale People. Knowing by experience bow excellent a remedy these nills were, Mrs. Newell bought some at a drug store and conlimind taking them. The effect was uiost gratifying, for in six monlhs my sister was perfectly well and the pain In hor back was nothing more than an unpleasant memory. llolh she and I have recommended the Fiiik Fills to other people, who have not failed to IInd thorn nil that is claimed.
