My subject also itniiresxc me with the ef
fect of Christ' mission upward and down
ward, (ilory, to (lod, ence to man. When
Hod sent His Son into the world, angels dis
covered something now iu ttod, something
they had never aeon before. Not power, not
wisdom, not love. They knew nil that Isv
foro. Hut when (bid s-nit Hi Sou into thl
world then the angels saw tho npirit of self
denial in Hod, the spirit of self-sacrifice in
lloil It lii nawiin t.i luva mn ntwt.,1 nn ffi

w ho would not allow tho most insiguillcant
angel in heaven to be hurt give up Hut Son,
His Son, His only, only fjon, thoy nw
somethini that they had never thought ol
I lioforo, and I do not wonder that when Christ
started out cn that pilgrimage tho angel iu
: heaven clapped their wing in triumph and
called on nil the hosts of henveii to help theui
nclubrnto It, and sangsoloud that tho ISeth-
lehem shepherd heard it: "lilory to Ood in
tho highest."
Hut it wa also to bo a mission of peacj to
! man. Inflnito holiness accumulutod de
pravity. Hnwr could they ever corn! to

God. Ood in us, and we in Ood. Atono

Put your hand on your heart one, two,

nasing like gaanllo over the plain. Rorrowt
hover like petrel over theaea. Death swoops
like a vulture from the mountains. Misery
roll nil to our ear like wave. Heavenly
aong fall to ua like alar.

worldly disxiatioiis, but merry with Uospet
gladness, nierry with pardoned sin, merry
with hope of reunion in the skies with nil
your loved ono who liavo preceded vou. Ii

Christmas.
And Ood grnnt thnt In our final moment
wo may have a bright a vision n did the
dyinj girl whon she mid: "Mother" point

window "Mother, what ia that beautiful
land out yonder beyond tho mountain, the
high mountain?" "Oh," mid the mother,
"my darling, there are no tuountnin within

"don't you see them. that beautiful land be
yond tho mountain out there, juat boyomf

Tho mother looked down Into tho faco of
her dying child nnd said: "My dear, I tiling
Ihat must bo heaven that you ac." "Well,
then," ahe said, "father, you come, and with
your strong arm carry me over those mount
ain into that lM-niitifiil laud licyond tho high

"my darhiig, I can't go with yon." "Well,"
she said, clapping her hands, "never mind,

"I have directly learned," say lir. Ilor
Chester, iu the Cin'jrritttinnlitt, -from tho
liest authority, that a distillery linn within
three miles of tho Massachustt State llousfi
hasa contract to furnish :l galloiiH of rum
daily to tlm African trade for the next seven
years. This would be eipiivnlciit to almost
I one million gallon ainiimll v.
I "It w ill lie a surprise to ninny to lenrn that
Almost nil the rum iimiiutnctured in tho
I lilted State is miide witliiu live miles of tho
Massachusetts State House. During the last
six year the total quantity manufactured
and deposited in the distilery warehouse of
the country were ll,i:Ki,7m gallons, an av
erage of l,H.r),tll7 gallons yearly, of which
total the distilleries around Uostou made 111,
n, 1 gallon, or ninety-four per cent, of
all made in this country.
"Almost ull the liipior rent from the
lTnited States to Africa is sent from Huston.
No other Inpior than that most m-cursed of
all li.iiors, Huston's rum. is scut from
America to the 'Dark Continent.'"
Thus the liuinc of liod Is blasphemed
among the heathen. And while iii. n tiro
boiisiim; of the progress of civiliation, and
predicting tho sp-sdy convi-ision of tho
world, the so-called "Christian nation" are
th-luging poor. Is-nighicd Africa with strong
drink, as Vliigland lias for it generation bis-u
flooding China with opium, and so destroy

Is it not til. io to litt ii j the voice like a
