The Reformed Sunday School.
, Last Sabbath we visited tbe Reformed
Sunday School, of this place, which is alto
gether tbe largest In town. The school Is in
aprosprrnusaud flourishing condillon.under
tho Supcrintendency ol Daniel Wieand,Esq.,
whom we are assured Is well-liked by teach
ers and scholars. Tho session wai opened
by the Superintendent, the school singing
Uappy Songs," accompanied by the organ,
played by our popular musio teacher, Prof.
John F. Hulbacb. Rev. Derr, from Slating
ton, the former pastor of the church, being
present, offered prayer j another hvmo was
sung j the school, by request of the Buperin
lendeul, read In concert tbe Golden Text
and Central Truth of the lesson for the day,
The Teachers then lifted tho regular collec
tion, and proceeded to the review of tbe les
sons studied during the last quarter; the
school usiug the International Sunday
School Lessons, followed the regular custom
of review.
By request of Mr. Halbacb.we taught the
class of young men under his charge, and
spent a very pleasant and profitable half-
hour in the review of the class on tbe lesson.
The 6uicrintenlent then practiced the In
fant classes in slnging.in preparation for the
coming Christmas exercises, and after tbe
dismissal of this party of very happy and ex
cellent little singers, practiced the large
school in tbe same manner theearnestaud
animated singing in the school is quite a re
markable feature, seldom seen In other
schools) Mr. Wieand is a good singer and
very excellent teacher.
The report of the Secretary, Mr. George
Kemerer, was read by classes j there were
21)8 scholars enrolled, and 251 present, be
sides 21 teachers. The collection amounted
to $2.54. The Infant department numbered
45 scholars, not having a aearate room in
which to meet, it is divided into five or six
classes and taught by as many teachers. Af
ter singing another hymn, the school re
peated the Lord's prayer, bclpg led by Rev,
Hartman, the pastor, and then the school
was dismissed by classes.

uHiaruu
Christian.
The day on which the nativity of the
Saviour Is observed. Tbe Institution of this
festival Is attributed by the spurious Decret
als to Telesphorus, who flourished in the
reign ofAntonlui Pius (130101 a. p.), but
the first certain traces of It are found about
tbe time of the Emperor Commodus (180
182 A. P.). In the reign of Diocletian (281
305 A. p.), while thai ruler was Aecping
court at Nicomedla, he learned that a mul
titude of Christiana were assembled in the
city to celebrate the birthda? of Jesus, and
havlngordercd the cuurch-doori to be closed,
he set fire to the building, and all the Wor
shippers perished in the flames. It does
not appear, however, that there was any
uniformity in the period ol observing the
nativity among the early churches) some
held the festival la the month of May or
April, others in January. It is, neverthe
less, almost certain that the 25th of Decem
ber cannot be the nativity of the Savlour,for
it is then the height of tbe rainy seasou in
Judea, and shepherds could hardly be
watching their flocks, by night in tbe plains.
Christmas not only became the parent of
many later festivals, such as those of the
Virgin, but especially from tbe 5th to the
8th century, gathered round It, bs It ware,
several other lestlvals, partly old and part
ly newo that what may be termed a Chritl
moi Cyclf sprang up, which surpassed all
other groups of Christian holidays in tbe
manifold richness of its festal usuages, and
furthered, more than any other, the comple
tion of tbe orderly and systematic distribu
tion of church festivals over the whole year.
Not casually or arbitrarily was tho festival
of tbe Nativity celebrated on the 25th of
December. Among the causes that co-operated
in fixing this period as the pioper one,
perhaps the most powerlul was, that almost
all the heathen nations regarded the winter
solstice as a most Important point of the
year, as tho beginning of tbe renewed life
and sjiylty ot tho powers of nature, and of
tho gods, who were originally merely the
symbolical personifications of. these. In
more northerly countries, tUTs fact must
bave made itself peculiarly palpable hence
the Celts and Germans, from theoldest times,
celebrated tbe season with tho greatest fes
tivlties. At the winter-solstice, tbe Ger
mans held their great Yule-feast, in com
memoration of the return of the fiery sun
wheel j aud believed that,during the twelve
nights reaching from the 25th December to
the 0th January, they could trace tho per
sonal movements and Interferences on earth
of their great deities, Odin, Berchta, ic.
Many of the beliefs and usages of the old
Gerrnans,jind also of tbe Romans, relating
to this matter, passed over from heathenism
to Christianity, and bave partly survived to
the present day. 'But the church also sought
to combat and buntsn ana It was to a large
extent successful tbe deep-rooted heathen
lealing, by adding for the purification ol
the heathen customs and feasts which It re
tained its grandly devised liturgy, besides
dramatic representations of the birth of
Christ and the first events of bis life. Hence
sprang the so called "Manger-Songs." and a
multitude of Christmas carols, as well as
Christmas dramas, which, at certain times
and places, degenerated into farces or r ools'
Feasts. Ilenco also originated, at a later
period, tbe Christ-trees, or Christmas-trees,
adorned with lights and gifts, the custom of
reciprocal presents, and. ol special unristraas
meats uud dishes, such as Christmas rolls,
cakes, currant-loaves, dumpling, ic. Thus,
Christmas became a universal social festival
for young and old, high and low, as no oth
er Christian festival could have become.
In the Roman Catholic Church, three
masses are performed at Christmas one at
midnight, one at daybreak, and one in the
morning. The day is also celebrated by tho
Angio-uaiuono unurcn special psalms are
sung, a special preface is made in the Com
munion Service and the Atbanasian Creed
is said or sung. The Lutheran church on
the continent, likewise observes Christmas:
but the Presbyterian churches in Scotland,
and tne wuole ol the English dissenters, re-
eel it, in its religious aspect, as a "human
nventinn." and as "savoring of papistical
will worship," although In England, dissent
er? as won as enurenmen Keep it as a social
holiday, on which there is a complete ces
sation from all business. But within the
last hundred vears, tho festivities once ap
propriate to Christinas have fallen olf. These
at one' ttiife lasted with more or less bril
liancy till Candlemas, and with great spirit
till Twelfth-day ) but now a meeting In the'
evening, composed, when possible, of the
various branches and members or a family,
is an mat distinguishes tne day above others,

Tho Coal Trade.
We do not remember at any time in many
months to bave seen tbe anthracite coal
trade in a more jubilant condition than His
now, tbe end of tho first week of the last ar
rangemont entered into by all the leading
coal companies to work but half time. There
Is no change in tbe condition of tbe market
no scarcity of coal, no advance in prices,
very little, if any, reduction of stocks of coal
on hand. The only noticeable change is a
large demand tor coal from consumers, who
are now free buyers at prices they could
have bought at any time within the.last two
or three montbs.butthe faint hope that there
might be a. break among produce rsnd coal
sell at lower priors latest in the season, re
strained them. Tbe last action in tho trade,
agreeing to limit production, has had more
to do in giving tone to the market than
would a reduction of twice the amouut that
it will be lessened had it been effected
thiough some natural cause or outside of a
mutual understanding. Consumers of coal
are now assured that there is harmony a
moug producers and no likelihood ofa break
in prices among them. The market is steady
in the present and the outlook all that could
be desired. The producers ofsoal bave now
their business very much in their control,
and, with the exercise of a llttlo wisdom,
may hold it there. The first and most Im
portant thing that should claim their atten
tion is the fixing of prices ot coal within
reasonable limits. Unduly high prices of
coal now would tend very much to Injure
the favorable prospect for the next year,
which was never brighter. There will be a
large pi eduction, and, at present prices, con
sumers will be content and producers fully
rewarded. A fortuight ago, and for tbe past
two months, consumers were importuned to
lay in their coal, but held aloof, taking very
little, and only in driblets of comparatively
small amounts) now, unsolicited, they come
in troops, and are persistant in demanding
amounts larger than the operators can con
veniently furnish them. There is still a
scarcity of vessels and navigation la con
siderably obstructed with Ice. Tho three
days' suspension ordered last week, to begin
the 10th of December, will be a sufficient
regulation of this difficulty, as well as all
others likely te occur at this season. We do
not hear of any complaint that any .one of
tbe coal combination is furnishing more dur
ing the three days' suspension than its fair
proportion of anthracite production for the
week, though it might seem otherwise with
such companies as report their tonnagef
anthracite and bituminous together, as is
perfectly proper for them to do if they so
Incline.there being no restriction on tbe lat
ter. Many of the retail dealers in coal are
short in their supplies, and consequently
hold prices firmly up. The short supply of
transportation is agarast those In need of a
prompt supply of coal. Shipments of coal
West are steadily increasing, promising ere

ment now Is, we learn, to work only half

thought that after that time the market will
be so bare of coal and tbe demand so great
that there will be nn necessity of further

One half of our school term is
... 84
and the schools will be closed until tho 3rd
of .January. Comparatively fow changes
will be made at tbe opening of tbe next ses
sion. Children shall come Into the samp
schools that tbey have hitherto attended,
unless ordered by the Principal to go into
another room. -Six months is too short a
term to allow me to make promotions when
the term is half completed. The teachers
cannot, during three months advance pupils
sufficiently to make it good policy to pro
mote a scholar into a higher grade. Let a
child, as far as possible, understand one
thing before you attempt to teach it another,
A second reason for making no changes is
the creation ofa new school during the ses
sion just ended. Tbe school which has, up
to this time, been known as "Primary Ad
vanced," will now becalled "Secondary No.
2"i and the "Secondary" will be called
"Secondary No. 1." This arrangement en
ables us to let pupils In alt the lower schools
study a little farther in their different
branches than tbey could otherwise have
studied. No pupils being promoted Into tbe
higher schools, the teachers in those rooms
can devote more time.to those saholars.now
under their charge.
We desire to have the chlldrencomeregu
larly during tbe next three months, eyen to
the last day. Examinations for promotion
will be held at tbe close of tbe term, and
only those who pass the examination will
be promoted. Irregular pupils who are, In
consequence of their irregularity, not able
to go on witb'their respective classes will be
demoted. E. D. Sciimibil, Principal,

THE SUN FOR 1881.
Everybody reads Tna Snir. In the edition
or this newspapar throughout tbe year to
come everybody will (lnd i
I. All tb world's news, so presented that
the reader will get tbe greatest amount of In
formation with the least expenditure of time
and eyesight. Tns Sun long ago discovered
the golden meaning between redundant ful
ness and unsatisfactory brevity.
II. Much ol that sort ornews which depend
less upon its recognised Importance than up
on Us Interest to mankind. From morning to
morning Tn Sun prints a continued story of
the lives of real men and women, and of their
deeds, plans, loves, bates and troubles. This
story Is more varied and more interesting tban
any romance that was over devised,
III. Uood writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy and decorum
In the treatment of every subject ,
IV. Honest comment. TunStrs's habit Is
to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
V. Equal candor In dealing with each poll,
tlcal party, and equal readiness to commend
what Is praiseworthy or to rebuke what 1
blamable In Democrat or Republican.
VL Absolute Independence of partisan or
ganisations, but unwavering loyalty to trna
Demoeratlo principles. Tua Sun believes
that tbe Uovsrnment wbleb the Constitution
gives us Is a good one to keep. Its notion of
duty Is to resist to Its utmost power the effort
of men In tbe Republican party to sot up
another form or government In place or that
which exists. The year 1SS1 and the year
immediately following will probably decide
this supremely Important contest. Thk SDK
believes that tbe vletcry will be with the peo
ple as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for plunder, and the Rings lor Imperi
al power.
Our terms are as follows t
