There was a period?say half a century ago and less?when the religions meanings were somewhat enfeebled In the minds of many by the dazzling dominance of scientific discovery and thought. To many whatever Christmas then had of spiritual meaning was rather ^ In the way of sentiment, of tradition, of natural good fellowship and of the spirit of practical charity. There was a haunting sense of unreality In the direct messnge of the pulpit, a feeling that the historic supernatural was much akin to the Innocence of the Santa Clans myth itself. Since then the Christ idea has taken new significance and proportions iu those minds which are of the kind called skeptical, even In the minds over which the warrant of the supernatural has little sway or none at all. In books and sermons one comes upon the preaching of the Idea of Christ and the message of Christianity in a tone and in a language which nppeal with tremendous force not only to the so called orthodox, but to all serious minds of whatever training or tendency.?Century Magazine. The Newborn King. To the superficial skeptic it may seem seme ground for doubting the divine character of Jesus Christ that he should be born In a stable and laid In a manger and the first courtiers of the young King of the Jews should be the rude shepherds of Bethlehem. But, to him who thinks, these difficulties become rather evidences of his glorious character and beneficent mission to the human race. Between the stable of Bethlehem and the marble palace of the Caesars in Rome there can be. In the sight of God, only the difference between two little things, for all that is created must be little in the sight of the Infinite God. And as the mission of Christ was to elevate the helpless. and the poor it was eminently suitable tbat he should be born among them. For those who are weak enough to be scandalized at his poverty we say. Behold the kings of the east are prostrate at Ills feet, offering fhelr gold. Incense and myrrh. Being wise men, they well understood that the little tinsel of earthly splendor was not essential to such a royalty as his.?

York, Dec. 10.?After being out one hour and 30 minutes the jury in the Isenhower case brought in a verdict of not guilty at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. The case went to the jury at 1 o'clock, after which court was adjourned for the noon recess. The verdict was returned immediately after the convening of court for the afternoon session. The result was heard in silence by a packed court room there being no sign of demonstration of any kind. Court convened this mornin gat 9:30 o'clock and preceding the concluding arguments in the case Judge Rice addressed a few remarks to the audience in which he called attention to the solemnity of the occasion, and gave warning that he would tolerate no manifestation of approval or the reverse by those in the court room at any utterances of the attorneys in their arguments. The first argument of the day and the closing one for the defense was made by C. L. Blease, speaking a few minutes over one hour. Solicitor J. K. Henry made the closing argument for the State, speak> i'ng a little less than an hour. Judge Rice delivered a clear and comprehensive charge to the jury in which the law applying to the case was fully explained. Shortly afte> the verdict had been returned by the jury court adjourned until Monday when general sessions business will be resumed. The other Fairfield cases scheduled for trial have been continued until the April term of court. Experience teaches us things we would rather not know.

World comments as follows: "A graphic four-reel offering, picturing a very stirring and convincing way a series of incidents in Mexico, The outlaw's sisters are set upon by the federal officers; one of them shoots herself to escape their clutches and the other dies after losing her .mind. The outlaw then sets about getting his revenge, in regular Monte Crista style. There are many tragic happenings in this based on real life, and some of them are shocking. At the same time the story adheres faithfully to the way they do things in Mexico, the scenes are actually taken there and no effort has been spared to mount the production on a big scale. The cast is pleasing and the offering is in every way a strong one of the redblooded type." Coming Soon: "The Breekin Cain." Unusual serial in 22 chapters. Watch, wait, look and listen for the date.
