Befoie the next issue of the Mist our readers will have pawed another Christ mas Day. It ia the great Christian holi day in honor of the lihth of the Man of Galliiee, the bumble carpenter's son whose peaceful teaching were deatined to become the creed of the greatest civilized nations. He 'taught nothing but tove. His mesBiga was "Peace on Earth, Good will toward Men," and his teachings, if adhered to, would bring about Heaven on earth. It is the most perfect system of philosophy ever given mankind, and Sis simplicity permits its . adoption by all those whose- minds are capable of understanding the pl.inegt truths. It is essentially a religion for the poor and hum Me, and does not readily commend itself to "the favored ones of earth. The proverb of the camel and the needle's eve is applicable to ' day as when it was written. The religion of Jeans Christ it antagonistic to- the accumulation of great fortunes by the approved niolern business methods, The Inwter who tukes a fee to defend crime, the banker alio willfully riks the savings intrusted to his cave, ths manu facturer who enters into a combination to crush out h s conipetfwf' and rie the price, on necessities of life, and the exploiter of Libr who fur the sake of gain sacrifices human life to run his business econoniicilly all of these are criminals fro n the Christian standpoint, and hone of them can escape the pen alty. ; To the poir and lowly tlie promise is givenofa future reward. The Jewish Heaven was paved with gold, the Ihl'One , of the Creator was to be of gold, and the ngels clustered about the throne were to be incessantly occupied in playing upon instruments of gold. Few Chris tians now-a day believe this In a literal sense. Heaven ia regarded as a place of reward for a life lived to the standard tt by Christ ss nearly as on may sw- " ".jHaJBWataMSl III olate tbe example of the Master, and ,uch a belief must prove S blessing to humanity in the future as It has in tbe past. Tbererefore it ia that all agree that the birthday of Christ is the great est of all holidays. In every corner of the world it will be celebrated. Horns ties will be renewed and strengthen), neighbors will forget their petty feuds. lousiness men will for tbe time put aside their anxieties, and for one day at least the maxim of tbe Master will be heeded and peace and good will prevail The M ist hopes all its readers and all the people will enjoy the day to the foil of their capacity and that they will take Icial care that on that day those whom misfortune has visited thall re ceive some share of tbe general bappi ness. , Xascalar Paias fared "During the summer of 1903 I was troubled with muscular pains in the instep of my foot," says Mr. 8. Pedlar. of Toronto, Ont. "At times it was so painful I could hardly walk. Chamber lain's Pain Balm was recommended to me, so I tried it and was comnletelv cured by one small bottle.

President Roocevelt has again tie en compelled to declare in unequivocal ter ns that he will not accept ttie Re publican nomination for ths Presidency, and vet there are a buncb of politicians who, for their own purpose, still insUt that the nomination must be tenders I him by the Republican National Con vention, and that he will bj compelled to accept. Tbelr probable motive la to remain 'W.id" with the President until bis successor is elected. The Republi can "Rational Convention will not lie stampeded by theee boosters. It will be composed of men who underjtsrld the gm i of po'itius, and each "favorite" son will have hi trusty lieutenants upon the floor. Tuey will be organized to prevent any such footSxtinons as a stam pede in favor of the man who has re peatedly notified-, tbsin- tliat he would not take the nomination and the avail ability of the several avowed candidates will bs tried out and in all probability a wUe selection made. At tha present time Governor Huxliea of New York is undoubtedly in the lead, with Tuft sec ond, but rup'dly losing ground. Taft is the President's first clioi.-e, but whether that fact will aid him in the convention s hard to say. Mr. Roosevelt is popular with the masses of the people-though not so popular as he was one year ago but he has made many strong enemies among those who generally rule conven tions, and, Mr. Taft would inherit all these enemies, while many of ' Mr. Roosevelt's friends, now that he is oat of the field, will transfer theiraltegiancs to Hughes.
