We trust eyery church will have
a Christmas tree this year, as a
Christmas without th? sacred and
mythical associations of the occas
ion is lacking in two of its fundi-
luental necessities to gain the true
beauty of the : most universally
celebrated of all events of history.
And let us not iorget to remember
those who are letH fortunate than,
perhaps, we are, and to see that
every little urchin in our acquain
Unceshall have been made happy
becaufe Santa Claus did not
forget him on Christmas day.

Manhood More Titan Machinery.
. . ...
(From Bishop Henry Codman Pot
ter.) '
The wonders which mechanical
appliances in c mnection with man
ufacturers, and, indeed, with al
most all forms of industry, have
achieved; the greater cheapness)
and the greater consumption which
have followed upon this, the in
creased incentives to trade and
commerce which have been a re
sult of both; these, it must be own
ed, have dazzled the eyes and
blinded the judgment of men as to
their effects upon that which is
more precious than machinery, or
manufactures, c wealth, or nation
al expansion, and that is manhood;
and e?pecially to the well being os
that vast majority of the race
which, under the most civilized
conditions of life, niuet alway
mainly earn its bread with its
hands.
The orchestra wifbes o impress
unon all dancers that thev will
have a good time if they attend,
their Cnristmas dance at the Audi
torium Christmas evening. It will
be the ewellest of the season.
