Brooklyn, ". Y., Dec. 27. Dr. Tal
mage preached this morning a sermon ap
propriate to the Christmas season. His text
was Luke 2:10. "And they came with haste,
ard found Mary and Joseph, and the babe
lyine; in a manj-er."
The black window shutters of a December
night ere thrown open, and t-oinoof the
belt sinpei s of a i orld where theyallsine
stood, there, and putting back the drapery
of cloud chanted a peace anthem until all
the echoes of hill and valley applauded nnd
encored the Hallelujah chorus. Come, let
ns go into that Christmas "-cone as though
wc had never before worshipped at the
manger. Here Is a Madonna woith looking
at.
1 wonder not that the most frequent name
in all lands and in all Christian centuries in
Mary. And there are llarys in palaces and
3Iaryp in cabins, and though German and
French and Italian and Spanish and Eng
lish pronounce it differently they are all
namesakes of the one whom vie find on a
bed of straw, with her pale face against the
soft cheek of Christ on the ni-ht of the Na
tivity. All the great painters have tried, on
canvas, to present Mary and her child and
the incidents of that most famous night of.
the -n orld's history.
Clod Honors Ills Urate Creation.
Behold, in the first place, that on the first
night of Christ's lire God honored the brute
creation. You cannot get into that Kethle
hem barn without going past the camels,
the mules, the dogs, tue osen. The bmtes
or that stable heard the first cry of tho in
fant Lord. Some or the old painters repre
sent the oxen nnrt camels kneeling that
night before the new-born babe. Anil v. ell
lnislit they kneel!
Have you ever thought that Christ came
among other things to alicvi-ite theuffer-in-s
of the brute creation? Was it not ap
propriate that ho should, during the first
few days and nights of His life on earth, be
surrounded by the dumb beasts, whose
mov.i and plaint and bellowing have for
ares been a prayer to God for the arresting
ot their tortures and the righting of their
wrong? It did not merely "happen so' that
tho unintelligent creatures of God should
ha e been that night in close ncizhbarhood.
Not a kennel in all the eentuiies, not a
bird's nest, not a 'worn-out hone on low
path, not a herd freezing in the poorly-built
cow -pen, not a freight car in summer time
bringing tho beeves to market without
water tlnough 1,000 miles or agony, not a
Mirgeon's room witnessing tho struggles of
fee, or rabbit, or pigeon, or dog. in tho hor
rors of vivisection, but has an interest in
the fact that Christ wasbotn in a stable,
surrounded by brutes. He remembers that
night, and the prayer he heard in their piti
ful moan, he w ill a"nsw er In the punishment
of those w ho maltreat the dumb brutes.
The Right of Boasts to I.'.ve.
They surely have as much right in this
world as we have. In the firbt chapter of
Genesis you may see that they were placed
on the earth before man was, the fish and
fowl created the fifth day. and the quadruped-
the morning of the sixth day, and man
rot nntil the alternoon of that day. Tho
whale, the eagle, the lion, and all the les-ser
creature" ot their kind were predecessors
of the humaii family. They have the world
bv right of possession.
Thcj have also paid rent for tho places
they occupied What an army of defense
nlloAcrthe land are the faithful watch
dogs. And who can tell whatthe world owes
tothehore. and camel nnd ox: for trans
portation' And robin and lark have, by the
cantatas ilh - hich they have filled orchard
and forest, more than paid for tho few
grains they have picked up for their sus
tenance. When you abuse any creature of
God yon strike its Creator.
btandmg then, as I imagine now I do, in
that Itetlilehem night w ith an infant Christ
on the one tide and the speechless creatures
of God on the other, I cry. look out how
-.on strike that rowel in the horse's side.
Take o2 that embed bit from that bleeding
mouth. Keraove that saddle from that raw
back. Shoot not lorfuu that bird that is
too small for food Forget not to put water
into the cage for that canary. Throw out
some crumbs to those birds caught too far
north in tho winter's inclemency. Arrest
that man who is making that one horse
draw a load heavy enough for three.
Teach Mercy to the Children.
In yonr families and in your schools teach
the coming generation more mercy than tne
present generation has ever shown, and in
this marvelous Bible picture of the Nativity,
v, hile you point out to them the angel, show
them also the camel, and while they hoar
the celestial chant, let them also hear the
cow's moan.
Heboid, also, in this Uible scene, how, on
that Christmas night, God honored child
hood. Christ might have made his first
visit to our world in a cloud, as He will de
scend on his next visit in a cloud. In what
a chariot of illumined vapor Ho might have
i oiled down the -ky, escorted by mounted
cavalry, w ith lightning for drawn swordi
Knough have all those fathers and mothers
on band if they have a child in the house. A
throne, a crown, a tceptie, a kingdom un
der charge. Be careful how you strike him
across the head, jarring the brain. What
you say to him will be centennial and mil
lennial, and a hundred j ears and a thousand
years will not stop the echo and re-echo.
God has infinite resources, and He can give
presents of gieat value, but when He wants
to give the richest possible gift to a house
hold He looks around all the worlds
and all the universe and then gives a child.
The greatest pi eent that God ever gavo our
world He gave about lt91 years ago, and lie
ga o it on a Christinas night.
The Child to Rulo To-Day.
And to-day the child is to decide all the
great battles, make all the laws, settle all
the destinies, and usher in the world's salva
tion or destruction. Men, women, nations,
all earth and all heaven, behold the child:
Is there any velvet as soft as a child's
cheek? Is there any sky so bine as a child's
eye? Is there any music so sweet as tho
child's voice? is there any plume so wavy
as a child's hair
Notice also that in this Bible night scene
God honored science. Who are the three
w Ne men kneeling before the Divine Infant?
Xot boors, not ignoramuses, but Caspar,
Bolthasar and Melchior, men who
knew all that was to be known.
They were the Isaac New tons
and Herschcls and Faradays of their
time. There alchemy was tho forerunner
01 our sublime chemistry, their astiology
the mothei or our magnificent astronomy.
Thcv had studied Mais, studied metals,
studied jilivsiology, studied everything.
And when 1 see these scientists bowing be
fore the beautiful babe, I see tho prophecy
or the time when nil the telescopes and
microscope-, and all the Leyden jars, and
all the electric batteries, and all tho obser
vatories, and all the universities shall bow
to Jesus It is much that way already.
Behold also in that first Christmas night
that God honored the fields. Come in, shep
herd boys, to Bethlehem and see the child.
"No," they -ay, "we are not drcs-ed good
enough to come in."' "Ye, you are; come
in. '
Miepherd IJoj s the First to See Jesus.
Yet they were the first to hear the music
of that Christmas night. The first announce
ment ofa savior's birth was made to those
men in the llc.d. There were wiseacres that
night in Bethlehem and Jerusalem suoiing
in deep sleep, and there were salaried offi
cers or Government, who. hearing of it
afterward, may have thought that they
ought to hae had the first news of such a
Xreftt eeut, some uc dismounting from a
switt camel at their door and knocking till,
at some sentinel's question, "Who comes
theie?"the great ones of the palace might
have been told of the celestial arrival, No;
the shepherds heard the fir-t two bars of the
music, the first in the major kevnnd the
lat in the subdued minor: "Glory to God in
the highest, nnd on earth peace, good will to
mew." Ah, yes; the fields were honored.
The old shepherds with plaid and crook
hav for the most rjnrt vanished, hut wc
have grazing our United .states pasture
fields and prairie, about 45,ooj,.o sheep
and all their Keepers ought to lollow the
shepherds of my text, and all those who
toil in fields, all vine dre-sers, all orchard
ists, ull husbandmen. Xot only that Christ
mas night, but nil up and down the world's
history God had been honoring the fields.
Xenrlyall the messiabsor icrormand liter
ature, and eloquence, and law, and benevo
Iuice, have come from the liclds. Washing
ton from the fields. Jefferson from the
fields.
Eminent Statesmen From Farms.
The Presidcntal martyrs, Garfield and
Lincoln, from the fields. Henry Clay from
the fields. Daniel Webster from tho field.
Martin Luther from the fields.
Before this world is right, tho overflowing
populations of our crowded cities will have
to take to tho fields.
Instead of ten merchants in rivalry as to
who shall sell that one apple, we want at
least eight of them to go out and raise ap
ples. Instead of ten merchants desiring to
sell that one bushel of wheat, we want at
least eight or them to go out and raise
wheat The world wants now more hard
hands, more bronzed cheeks, more muscular
arms. To tho fields: When tho shephera's
crook was that famous night stood against
the wall of tho Bethlehem khan.it was a pro
phecy of the time when thresher's flail and
fanner's plow and woodman's ax: and
ox's yoko and sheaf-binder's rake shall
surrender to the God who made the country,
as man made tho town.
Behold, also, that on that Christmas night
God honored motherhood. Two angels on
their wings might have brought an infant
Savior to Bethlehem without Mary's being
there at all. 'When tho villagers, on tho
morning of December 25, awoke, by divino
arrangement, and in some unexplained way,
tho Child Jesus might have been found in
some comfortable cradle of tho village. But
no. no!. Motherhood for all time, was to bo
consecrated.
Good Motliers of Famous Men.
In all ages God has honored good mother
hood. John Wesley had a good mother; St.
Bernard had a good mother; Samuel Bud
gett, a good mother; Doddridge, a good
mother; Walter Scott, a good mother; Benja
min West, a good mother. In a great audi
ence, most of whom were Christians, I asked
that all those who had been blessed or Chris
tian mothers arise, and almost tho entire as
sembly stood np. Don't you seo how im
portant it is that all motherhood be conse
crated. Why did Titian, the Italian artist, when he
sketched the Madonna, make it an Italian
face? Why did Kubens, the German artist.
in his Madonna, make it a German face?
Why did Joshua Beynolds, tho English art
ist, in his Madonna, make it an English
face? Why did Murillo, the Spanish artist,
in his Madonna, make it a Snanish face? I
never heard, but I think they took their
own mothers as the type of Mary, tho mother
of Christ. When you hear some one, in ser
mon or oration, speak in the abstract of a
good, faithful, honest mother, your eyes fill
with tears, while you say to yourself, "That
was rav mother."
The first word a child utters is apt to be
""Mother." and tho old man, in his dving
dream, calls "Mother! mother!" It matters
not whether she was brought up in the sur
roundings of a city, and in affluent home,
and w as dressed nnpropriatelv, with refer
ence to the demands of modern life, or
whether sho wore the old-time cap, ana
great round spectacles, and apron of her
own make, and knit ,your socks with her
own needles, seated by the broad fire-place,
with great log ablaze on a winter night.
A Tribute te the World's Madonnas.
It matters not how many wrinkles crossed
and recrossed her face, or how much her
shoulders stooped with the burdens of a
long life, if you painted a Madonna, hers
would bo tho face. What a gentle hand
the had when we were sick, and what a
voice to soothe pain, and was there any one
who could so fill up a room with perfce, and
purity, and light? And what a sad day that
was when we came home and she could
greet us not, for her lips were forever still.
Come back, mother, this ChrKtmas Day,
nnd take your old place, and as 10, or 20, or
CD years ago. come and open the old Bible as
you used to: read and kneel in the same
placewhereyouusedtopray.andlookuponus
as of old when you wished us a Merry Christ
mas or a Happy Xc w Year. But no! That
would not be fair to call you back. Yon
had troubles enough, and aches, enough,
and bereavements enough while you were
here Tarry by the throne, mother, till w o
join you there: your prayers all answered,
and in the eternal homestcad'of our God we
shall again keep Christmas jubilee together.
But speak from your thrones, all yon glori
fied mothers, and say to all these, your sons
and daughters, words of love, words of
warning, words of cheer. They need your
voice for they have traveled far and with
many a heart-break since you left them, and
you "do well to call from the heights of
heaven to tho valleys of earth. Hall, en
throned ancestry! We are coming. Keep a
place right beside you at the banquet.

CRIMES OF BUSINESS MEN.
Bishop Fallows Talks ISoldly to a Chicago
Assembly.
Chicago, Dec. 27. Yesterday was the
closing day of the American Institute of
Sacred literature at Far-veil Hall., The in
terest of the day centered in the address to
business men by the Itt Eev. Bishop Sam
uel Fallows. He said:
"The crimes of business men to-day were
begun centuries ago and were among the
chief causes that led to the rain of the
kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Their
balances were deceitful and their measures
false; they gain wealth by defrauding their
fellowmen. Tiie same statements can be
applied to the great majority of the busi
ness men to-day. They sell adulterated
food and ease their conscience by thinking
.that they did not do the adulterating; they
give short weights in coal; they use marks
and brands that are calculated to deceive,
and sell liquors and beverages that cannot
fail to have deleterious effect on the
purchasers.
"It is bv these methods that the business
man of to-day acquires money, and it is by
these practices that the whole of business
intercourse is made corrupt. It is to abol
ish such practices that institutes of this
character are organized and maintained.
The business man who knowingly sells an
article that is not what it is represented to
be and then goes to church and prays Sun
day will be a long way from heaven when
the judgment day arrives.
"The business men of Chicago are busy
men, and many of them may claim that they
have not time to devote to the study otythe
magnitude of the evil or to take any steps
to stop it. Every man has the time to do
this thing if he only has the disposition.
Study your Bible lesson each Sabbath, and
give a portion of each day to the study of
such principles as will tend to elevate the
mind If you give one-tenth as much time
to such contemplation as yon give to your
business affairs you will find that both your
self and the world will be bettered. Our
work is to elevate the morals of the people,
and your aid is indispensable to us."
IKSTJBANCE TO GO TIP.
Leading Agents Say Kates Are Bound to Be
IHgher in America.
Boston, Dec. 27. Mr. John C. Paige,
one of thd best known insurance agents in
this part of the country, says of the pre
vailing unsatisfactory condition of the
insurance business: "Upward of 40 reputa
ble insurance companies' have gone out of
business in 1801 because they did not get
premiums enough to pay losses and ex
penses. Expenses are capable of some re
duction, and the necessary steps to bring
tli em to a minimum have already been
taken. But under the operations of sup
ply and demand in .the last five years there
has been a small margin of profit
for the best managed companies,
though none lias been made this year.
"Kates in JTcw York, with less companies
competing, will probably go up. Kates in
Boston have been steadily reduced since a
small advance was made in the winter of
1890, while the expense here has always
been moderate. The results call for a gen
eral advance in fire insurance rates through
out the country."
Mr. George C Carpenter says: "This has
been a hard year for all insurance com
panies. It has not been confined to any
iiorticular section of the country, but lias
icen spread over it all. The losses by fire
have been very heavy. A slight increase
iu rates will probably come, and united
effort will probably be made to havo prop
erty owners ha, e a large percentage of their
property insured." m
Mr. Benjamin B. "Wnittemore, of the
-Etna, says that insurance rates have got to
the bottom notch and something must be
done to increacthe profits of the insurance
companies. This is why they are going to
be increased.
The Belgian Government now asks 20,
000 francs for permission to give hypnotic
performances. Doctors may make experi
ments in the interest of science, but tiie the
atrical practitioner will have to pay high.

ART.
Blest with each grace of nature
and of art. Pope. , "-
The suit that is not cut
right ought to be cut to
pieces. It makes all the dif
ference in- the world who
handles the blades that go
through the cloth. If you
cannot say of a suit that it is
artistically cut, the less you
say about it the better. Mr.
I. Jackson personally attends
to the cutting department,
and he knows how the shears
are handled. That is one of
the reasons why our HOME
MADE SUITS are so supe
rior to others and defy criti
cism; in the making of our
suits it is needless to again
call your attention to the fact
that every garment is made
by our own tailors with the
greatest of care, with but one
object in view, and that is
"entire satisfaction."
OUR SPECIAL REDUCTIONS
Will enable you to procure
the grandest values you can
imagine. Special mentions
our home-made Cheviot Suits
at $12 and $15; our hand
somely bound Clay Worsteds
at $14, $15, $16 and $18.
The open winter leaves us
with .rather a large quantity
of medium and heavy Over
coats, and before stock-taking
(January 1, 1892,) we must
and will sell out if a low price
will do it. Sweeping reduc
tions, especially in Chinchilla
and Vicuna, reduces to $io,
$12, $15 and $18. Don't
miss this rare chance. You
can positively secure a bar
gain at

A GREEN
And a Big Stock of Overcoats.
Much to our sorrow we are compelled tq chronicle the above two facts. That
gre'en Christmas will be an expensive thing for us. It means a loss to us of
man thousands of dollars on our stock of overcoats. But we are not the
men to cry over spilt milk. If the weather didn't sell overcoats our prices
must. Cost or value are now no longer considered. The profits of the
whole season will be sacrificed (and more) in the task just undertaken by
us, viz: A forced sale of our overcoats.
ULSTERS
OR STORM OVERCOATS have
fared worse than the .lighter garments.
We've hardly had any "Ulster weather at all,
and the result is visible in our stock. Will
these reductions induce you to buy?
ULSTERS WORTH
$15 AT
These are good Chinchilla Ulsters, warm
ly lined and well made. They afford com
plete protection in blizzards
weather.
and
$13
FINE ULSTERS,
WORTH $22, AT
These are made of very fine Chinchillas,
Friezes and Shetlands, and, if made
order, would cost $30.
