Mr. ! inle\. tlu- new president ?>f tlu- Southern railway, announces the intention <>f arranging slower schedules for the trains ?>f the system. The purpose is to give such schedules as the trains can make. The trains of the S uithern in South Carolina and other States have come to he almost always late. This has been brought about by the wonderful increase of freight and passenger traffic which has transpired within the last few years. This increase has been beyond precedent and has found the railroads unprepared. The Southern's president rightly concludes that slower schedules will be preferable to the public if they are reliable. The sum total daily loss t<> business in South Carolina alone from waiting on de laved trains would mount up into the thousands. Another good thing slower schedules will do on sonic of the branch lines of which we know: it will give a speed better adapted to the poor condition in which these tracks often are.

Every Jewish heart is open for Mis reception, for unto them a King is to be born : every heart of whatsoever clime is glad, for ,a Savior is come. Earth with its millions of voices proclaims the glad news; the fields are jubilant and the mountains clap their hands. The advent! W e are borne backward in our I minds over the nineteen hundred and six years that have gone since Jesus came. With uncovered heads we stand on Judean hills, ibeneath eastern skies, side by side with the shepherds of old. and with them we await Tlis coming. I.ike sweetest music fall the words ot Mod's poets, the angels: "There's a song in the air; ' There's a star in the sky; There's a mother's sweet prayer \ml a babe's low cry. \ixl tin star rains it> fire While flu- beautiful sing. j|r 11ever i>i Bethlehem f tallies a king." AU.heaven is silent and the world is still: then clearly, sweetly, ring's forth the glad news: '"(ilory to ( m 1 in tite highest, and on earth peace. good will toward men : for unto \ou i- born thi~ day in tile city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." And it came to pass as prophesied. Jesus was born; a Savior came into the world. There have been many significant events in the world's history: the batth of Marathon was one. This wa - a decisive point in the history of ihe national life of Clrccce. Tin- t ireat Charter, when signed by King John of F.ngland was another: it meant the end of despotic rule. The defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo was yet another; by it Lngland was freed from the (threatened French rule. The discovery ami settlement of America meant much: the gaining of American iildel irinli life Ci iiiiit i-d for even i : j " * " * " more. if po?>ibl .
