WHAT WOULD THEY THINS?
What would the free silver cranks In
congress think of a business corporation
which should try to play fast and loose
with Its own business affairs In the way
that they want the United States to act
ln financial matters? They would scout
It as an attempted swlndjs, Take the
case of a business corporation which un-I
doubtedly Is "good" for thirty or forty
times the amount of its liabilities, but
through mismanagement or oversight Is
temporarily short of funds. Capitalists
are willing to lend money that may be
wanted to tide over the difficulty, but are
met with the statement that the intond.
Ir.g borrower Insists on such a wording
of the note as will enable him, when the
note falls due, to pay the lender In money
worth not more than half the money that
was borrowed. The chances are that cap-
itallsts would fight shy of entertaining
such a. proposition. They would be apt
to say there was no discount on their
money, and they preferred keeping It In-
tact to lending It on such unsatisfactory,
cvuBlve terms. If the said capitalists
were themselves stockholders In the con-
cern some of the members might deem It
advisable to part with their money rather
than see the corporation go to smash,
but the proposition would not be the less
unfair. '
Suppose a farmer should want to bor-
row a quantity of wheat, but claiming
the right to pay the debt with an equal
number of bushels of corn, or a manu-
facturer short of fuel, desiring to borrow
coal but demanding the "right" to pay
back In an equal quantity of firewood.
The farmer and the manufacturer would
be laughed at, yet would be fully as sensl-
ble as the fellow who wants to have per-
mission to pay full-value gold debts with
half-worth silver.
CONCERNING ROT.
In a communication published In an
other column a bloodthirsty correspond
ent gives to the world some brecsy and
peculiar views on the subject of war and
peace. The main text of his argument
Is the old and worn-out "atom"' notion

set of Inferior microbes, gobbling them
up, and In turn being devoured by a still
hio-h.. ,..i., ... ,
Darwinian theories and red rag procla
mations thrown In. He proves to his own
satisfaction, by the text of Holy Writ,
that Christ was an advocate of war, and
makes the following announcement:

been written In blood, and every upward
step, every forward movement, every
great epoch in the world's history and

FOR COAST DEFENSE.
It Is wise to derive as much profit as
possible from painful experience?, and one
recompense for present anxiety and pos'
sible future complications will appear If
congress shall be Induced by the sugges
tions of the Venezuelan controversy to
muke liberal appropriation for coast
defense. Very ffw persons In this coun
try rrslly expect u Var with England or
any other nation, but a multitude of clt;
jsei.s must have be.n led to reflect on the
defen !s cdtiditorl of our ports by the
eventii of tho last two weeks. Hitherto
public opinion has never demanded that
they be made secure with sufllclent force
to compel suitable action by congress. We
do not believe that this Indispensable
work wI be neKlecte(1 much loger.
The proml,t provgon of a muon money
1 can bB wcl1 employed for this purpose
during the coming year and a beginning
of energetic operations would not arouse
any needless excitement or convey any
false Impression; for every Intelligent
person, at home and abroad, would com
prehend how long and slow a Job had
been undertaken. It has hitherto seemed
Impossible to produce a general reallza
tlon of the necessity of the work begun
nine years ago, and comparatively little
progress has been made, more partlcu-
larly on this Coast. The task ought,
from now on, to be prosecuted loyally,
zealously, and steadily. Its completion
would be a substantial guarantee not only
of safety but of permanent peace,

Christmas Services and Eloquent Ser
mons.
Sunday in many of the churches special
Christmas muslo was rendered and op
propriute services to the eeasoa were
hold.
The regular service for the day was
held at
GRACE CHURCH,
With a repetition of many of the Christ
mas anthems at both tho morning and
evening services. At vespers the hymns
and anthems were particularly well se
lected, quite within the compass of small
choirs, and the sweet strains blended with
the ever-Inspiring words of the church.

The Sunday evening service at the
PRESK1TFRIAN CHURCH
Took the nature of a song service, or
sacred concert, and tho following Is the
order or exercises which were observed:
Hymn.
Scripture.
Anthem, "Bethlehem."
Solo, "Holy City" (by request), Mrs. J,
T. Ross.
Duet, "Naaman," Miss Holden and Mr.
J. T. Ross.
Anthem, "Glad Tidings."
Solo, "Gallllee," Mrs. Danzlger.
Address, Rev. Llddell.
Solo, "Abide With Me," Miss Holden.
Duet, Mr. H. C. Thompson and Mr.
Garner.
Anthem, "The Holy Child."
Hymn.
Doxology.
The church was filled to overflowing,
and it was necessary to place chairs In
the aisles to accommodate the large con
gregatlon. The beautiful songs and an
thems, rendered by well known voices,
were In themselves a sermon, and when
the minister came to make his address,
In a few well chosen words he said that
he would leave the muslo with his hear
ers, with this single question, which Pi
late had to answer, "What are you go
ing to do with this Savior, King, whose
birth we celebrate?"
The Christmas music which was ren
dered Sunday morning at tha
METHODIST CHURCH
Drew a large congregation. Appropriate
hymns, together with the following spe
cial anthems, were a fit setting to the In
tellectual feast which followed In the
sermon:
'Oh, the Golden, Glowing Morning"
Le Jeune
'To Deum, No. 2" V. Kroell
"Hall, Christmas Morn" Gounod
Hark, the Herald Angels" Mozart
"Birthday of a King" Neldllnger
'Fear Not Ye, O Israel Dudley Buck
The Rev. Dr. Huntley, of Baltimore, de
livered the sermon. From the obscure
text, "And the desire of all nations shall
como" Haggal 11:7 tho minister built up
such ,A logically perfect demonstration
that the Christ, whose birth Is celebrated
at the Christmas season, fulfills the
prophecy, as Is rarely the good fortune
of any people to hear. The train cf
thought and Us rapid development was
beyond the average mind te grasp
at once, without the closest attention
but when the beautifully drawn deduc
tlons were made the whole stood out as
an illuminated text In the dark. The
preacher said, in part:
Scholars are agreed that the natural
way of reading prophecy Is by the light of
history. Bearoh the records now lielng
written. Familiarize yourself with the
treat movements now. Look at the ten
denotes as well as the transpiring events
of the present. See whence they spring,
Follow the fact back to the motive.
From the clrcumferenco trace your way
to the center. Witnessing an effect,
look for the cause, and stop not till you
And one adequate.
So let us stand this Christmas time.
And as we listen to the belated echo from
10.000 choirs, and are regaled with floral
transpositions which cause mld-wlnter to
assume the garb of spring: while we be
hold the young elated with a Joy elyslan
and the wrinkles In the face of age trans'
formed to chalices. Imprisoning a light
which must have scaled celestial barriers
and stolen out to catch a tint whose mel
low beauty knows no double and can be
had no otherwhere than In the human
face and at no other than the Christmas
time; as we behold, till every fiber of
the spirit trembles with ecstacy, let t'
project our look beyond phenomena and
enter on a search for that which causes
them.
"Before man's disobedience he was hon
ored with God's presence and companion
shin. After the transgression he com
menced evading Him whose command
ment he had broken. Adam is dismissed
from the garden, given to understand the
effects of his disobedience, left with
his wife to live a few Bhort years Ih a
world from which his sin had driven the
Orentor.
"For 5,000 years man saw no accredited
ambassador from God, save as he occa'
slonally whispered In the ear of some
lone prophet and commissioned him to
cry aloud. But the race was not aban
doned, and its continuance Insured until
the desire of all nations snoma come,
The prophets proclaimed His purpose to
Gentiles and bring in tno reign ot one
whose klncdom should have no end. All
Christians know the means employed to
fulfill that prophecy, because the sun of
history has shono upon tne page oi
prophecy. The Jews, from character
istic blindness, believed thomselves, as a
nation, to have been prefigured In the
Messlunle prophecies. It was to them
that the Gentiles should seek, and It was
they who were the seed of Abranam, in
whom all the nations cf the earth were
m he blessed. Today the very children
will tell you that all this was scripture
misinterpreted and misapplied that the
Jewish nation hundreds of years .vgo
nassed from the roll of Independent na
ti.ms. Hut the Bible says of His gov
eminent there shall be no end. John's
nreaehlng was to backsliders, and he bap
tlzcd those reclaimed by his teachlnga to
the faith of their father Abraham.
"Believing Jesus Christ to be the one
referred to In the text, I will be expected
to show some reason, connected with na
tlonnl -desires, for this faith. That the
essentials of good government are con'
tained In the teachings of Jews will hard'
ly be denied, even by lnfidols. To desire
national perpetuity Is as natural as to
dtslre the prolongation of Individual tx-
Istence. Christ's teachings tend to na
tlonal permanency by Inculcating obe
dience to rightfully constituted authority
(the 13th chapter of Romans contains
good law from the text book of Chris
tianity): His teachings tend to glre na
tional permanency by emphasising God's
providence as relates to nations, and as
extending to Individuals and the family,
as well as to nations. This brings con
tentment, which Is one of the essentials
to a stable government. The require
ments which Christianity makes of the
various members of the family tend n-
evltably to the security of a nation: first.
by requiring a respect to authority: and,
setond, by requiring the head of the fam
ily to support It. thus teaching Industry.
"Commerce, representation at the capi
tal of other nations, peace at home, peace
with all the world, the cultivation of the
arts, to be resiected and honored by her
own people and by other nations, are
some of the other things desired by every
Intelligent nation, which the teachings of
Jesus Christ tend to realise. The history
of Kngland and America, where Ohrls
tlaity has lieen recognised as a part of
the common law, Is evidence that His
teachings tend always and every There to
th oonsummntton of thn rfetre.
"Yea, the desire of all nations has ar
rived; He came while the world was
sleeping; stepped from His car of glory
Into the manger at Bethlehem, gestured
the conveylng.angels back to their hem;'
blew out the star which lighted them to
earth and contracted that presence which
filled immensity Into the figure of a sleep
ing babe resting upon a virgin's breast.
He received no national salutes, no recog
nitions, formal or Informal, from the
rulers In high places. Contrariwise, the
custodian of civil rights throughout Ju-I
dea sought His life.
"The nations are slowly but surely
coming to recognize Christ as the desired
one. The anniversaries of Jesus' birth I
bring the nations nearer to each other.
As a common literature brings out affini
ties In minds thousands of miles apart,
so the participants in the benefits of a I
common Christianity gather In thought
and feeling each Christmas time about
the nn at Bethlehem. It may be lancy,
but I have Imagined more than once that
on every anniversary of Jesus' birth the
very angels whose song of peace awoke I
the stillness of that winter nignt upon

posts throughout the universe and sig
naled hither to behold our joy."
