CHRISTMAS.
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-

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.

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

stampeded by theee boosters. It will be
composed of men who underjtsrld the

ability of the several avowed candidates

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
