To childhood, and may we not say to every man and woman in the Christ ian world as well, with December comes the entrance of the brightest and most joyful month of the year. What holiday equals t'hristmas with its cheer, its hopes, and the fruition of days aud weeks of anticipation. Of all festivals 011 the globe, none enters so many homes with gladness. It is the day which brought hope to a lost world, and it ought to be the best, holiest and happiest season of the year. Withal, outside of the holidays, it is a period when skating,coasting.sleigh ing outdoors, and dances, socials, en tertainments and indoor pleasures are at their height While the bourn of light grow less until the 21st of December, and the path of the sun lies low, and the day is short, at the close of the month the battle between light and darkness h »s ended with three minutes to the credit of the former, and once more the orb of day is on its way to bring us warmth ami a return ot the birds ami flow ers A Costly Mistake.

The National Guardsman, the offi cial organ of the National Guard A sociation ot the United States, in its la-t issue stated that these arrange ments were under way,and that in all probability they would be eminently successful. The proposition is to have tiie Pennsylvania division, comprising as it does nearly 10,000 men, and a ' brigade or division of the regular army | camp there at the same time and go through a series of nianoeuvers. These liianoeu vers would be 011 a larger scale than any yet attempted by the combin ed troops of the reserve and the reg ular forces, and the chauces are that the camp would last for at least fout teen days. Managers of the exposition have communicated with Governor Penny packer, Major General Charles Miller and Brigadier General John A. Wiley, in connection with the proposition and have ottered camp sites and spec ial railroad rates aud accommodation inducements and that the State gov ernment is taking an interest in tlie ! matter is borne on by the fact that J Col. Dougherty, of tlie Ninth, on his return from the nianoeuvers at Fort Riley, Kan., stopped off at St. Louis | and looked over the ground proposed j to be used as a camp site. Col. Dougherty, in speaking of this laud says that it is ideal for the pur ' pose and that there is plenty of room camp 20,000 men there aud give them parade grounds and a place to work out the problems of attack and defense. The National Guard of this State will be the cynosure of thousands of people who will attend the fair. Re ! cruiting will also have to stop some what earlier this year than usual so that the groeu men taken 111 the coni ; maud will have an opportunity of be | coming familiar with the work before they are taken to camp. In fact re cruiting will have to stop early of its own volition for the law allows sixty 1 men to a company and there will no doubt be a rush among the young men not now identified with the guard to join before the command is taken to | St. Louis. At present all of the companies aro up to the minimum strength of fifty men, so it will be seen that there is not much chance tor outside men to enlist unless they do it at once before the vacancies existing at present are filled.

Joseph .I. Schol ia. A Del the disc mrse a most beauti ful and touching ceremony took place. I'o tic right ot the high altar a beauti ill 1 shrine had beon erected in honor ot the Blessed Virgin Mary. On a high peib stal above the altar stood a statue 11 present ing th.' immaculate virgin, whieli was surrounded by numerous burning wax candles, cut flowers and potted plants. Kneeling about the iltar were :!•> little girls dressed in white w inug wreaths on their heads. They repeated in a loud and clear vuii the words of consecration to the Bii-s-'-d Motln rand premised to re main pure and spotless by imitating her virtues, after which the entire parish repeated the words of consecra tion in the German language. Then t!ie choir sang the canticle of the Blessed Mother called the Magnificat during which Father Scliolly incensed the statue and shrine. Benediction with most blessed Sacrament closed the beautiful ceremony, which will long lei remembered by the devoted members of St. Hubert's parish as one ot the most beautiful that was ever held ill this church. The subject of Father Seholly's ser mon was : "Mary, the Mother of God, our most Merciful Mother." He said in part: "When we reflect en the danger that surrounds us in our strug gle against passion,temptation and sin wo are affrighted at the thought of God's justice. The eternal truths of death,judgment and hell of themselves till u- with fear and trembling. The sou 1 in -in is thereby discouraged and brought to the brink ot despair but the thought of the Redeemer who so loved the world as to lay down His life to -ive it should till him with hope and confidence. Still the thought of his off. tided God, Redeemer, though He I • , Uei'i - the sinner at a distance and :it times lie ictuses to sue for paitlon. through the darkness that clouds his -mil (in I in His goodness and mercy semis another ray of light. It i- the -tar ot the Sea, Mary, the Mother of (iod, the Hope and tin* Refuge of sin ners, our own most powerful and most Merciful Mother. The reverend speak er then traced the promise ot a Re de mi r, who was to come from the -ed of tln* woman tlnough whom sin entered the world Later on HI prophecy God made Un w n that the Messiah was to be born of a Virgin an 1 when the fullness of 11111< ha I come lie sent a Prince among thi ang'-I- to an bumble virgin at \ i/. in th with tin message loi which tin world bid awaited four thousand \ • :it - This virgin was Mary con e ived without sin and destined by God to give birth to the Redeemer \t her fiat the Soil of God, the only l begotten of the Father,left His throne in Heaven and as St. John Kays the Won! wa- made flesh amldwelt among us. Miry, therefore, is tho Mother of Christ, of God become man, hence the un it In : of God. As mother she has in tln ie over the heart of God, who w i- her Son At her request Christ worked 111- tir-t miracle at Canaan Who will -ay that her influence as mother ends with her death on earth? Isle- not in Heaven still the mother •if (iod, made man Is her power over th- In-art ot God shortened * No. The history of the church the last nineteen liuiidr- I vi ii- proves that Mary is still our most powerful and merciful motli • ! Christ give her to us as His last s\ 11 and testament on Calvary when lb -aid to St. John, "Son, behold thy mother." The Fathers of tho Church tea h that by these words and the words "Woman, behold thy Son!" Marv became the mother of all souls red' etned by Christ. She has provt n hers If our mother by tho numerous miracles wrought in behalf of poor sinners. Her shrines in Europe and evi-11 here in America prove her power ot intercession. As mother of the Re de 'iner who came to save, "not the , just but sinners" she has always shown a mother's love and sympathy for poor sinners. So true is this that as St Bernard says "Never was it heard that any one, even the most ab andoned sinner, who cried to her for help went away unaided." The rever ■ml speaker urged the people to have re< lurse to their mother Marv in all thin' necessities of soul and body. Any devotion no matter how small practiced in her honor would gain for them her powerful protection. After the 10 o'clock mass Sunday morning Father Scliolly preached on the baneful effects and the lolly of human respect. He showed tho row irdiee of fearing man more than God and letting that false shame to off end man keep us fioin practicing our duty to God and our neighbors. At the closing service last evening the Kev. Father Parr preached an in structive sermon on the means of pre -erving the fruits of the Mission. He pointed out to bis hearers that in ord er to remain fervent Christians they must avoid whatever has led tliein in to -in This they can do by fervent i layer and lrequent reception of the sacraments of penance and Holy Com munion After the seimoil Father Parr give tln m the blessing of the Holy Either, Pope Fius X. This was follow ed by benediction of the most blessed Sacrament.after which the entire con gregation joined in the hymn of I I auk-giving, " Holy God we Praise I'liy Name" in the German The miisi' al service rendered during the Mission were ot a high order and re tl t- ciodit upon thechoirof St Hub ert 's church.

All three of the mills, at Berwick and NanticoK a- well as at this city, were treated aliki The employes were indeed,taken greatly by surprise. Dur ing the pa-t week a notice was posted in the mills to the < tfeet that the hand- would recci vc tlr ir semi uiontli ly pay the day h d'or ■ l'hank-giving instead of on the regular pay day, which fell on Wednesday, December 2nd. On the day set Mr Mailman very cordially wished all bis employes a pleasant holiday and explained to them that each would tiud in his or her envelope an extra paid, ige con I ain ing enough money I i pitrchase a Thanksgiving turkey. Accordingly each hoy and girl a- they left tho mill Wednesday night bore away with them in addition to their regular pay an en velope cont lining th 1 gift and stamp ed with the picture of a fiue turkey.

Not only does Mr. 11 irtman make it a practice to pay his hmds on tho day before holidays of this kind, but he observes the holidays themselves by closing his mills.

Further, the Association encourages a careful, up-to-date study of world-wide missions—tln-ir aims, their history,their problems and their needs. Methods of personal soul-win ning and evangelistic efforts are also studied and used, and a large social and neighborhood work is undertaken. This department of the Young Men's Christian Association is now in its sixth year and hi- already spread to eighty-four institutions where young men are trained for the ministry ol i twenty-nine different denominations.

ARMSTRONG'S DISCOURSE J liu members of (irove Presbyterian | <-iiurt ii 111 rued out en masse Sunday morning to welcome their former past or, tin) Rev. E. (.J Armstrong of Will | iauisport, who had exchanged pulpits with tin- Rev. Dr. McCormack. Mr Armstrong's sermon wan oue ot In- characteristic discourses, original HI thought, philosophic an 1 abounding in beau til ul lessous, which he aptly j applied. The sermon, which was founded on four passages of .Scripture, traced the ascent of the soul up the great stair r;iMi leading from its unconverted Mate to an inheritance of the joy;, of the redeemed. The ascent consists Jof four stages marked in order by " Companionship." "Fellowship," or , | "Friendship,'''"Co-partnership,' * and i | "Proprietorship. " lie very etlective- I ly showed how one experience of the : mil! leads to another and how as a j person forced to lie alone craves a | companion, so the soul on its journey upward comes to find solace 111 the companionship of God. Companionship by revealing a similarity of experiences, tastes. &c\, I leads to a closer relation,that of "Fel lowship," which in turn leads to " Friendship. " Mr. Armstrong used these circum stance- to illustrate the closer relation ship which is hound to spring up be tween a soul and its God whenever a companionship with that God is sought i In the affairs ot the world a fellow ship between men leads to co-partner ship in business, in which great in ; vestments are made and immense op ! erations conducted. So the person in fellowship with God can only fulfill tin- mission ot a Christian lite by en teiing into a co-partnership with God. It was remarked by the way that many a person is unconsciously made a part- I ner with God —made an instrument to | carry out God's plans, as when an un godly person is permitted to accumu late great wealth, which eventually [ may he made to redound to the good |ol humanity. It is the conscious co partnership with God, however, that brings toman his greatest joy, divine | guidance and help. It is'only in this relation that we can hope to overcome the inherent tendency to evil.the rem nant of a savage ancestry which still lingers within us. In the conscious presence of (iod every inherent vice I loses its power and dies.
