AN IMJDET&NT EVENT

XJ-EW8 OF THE KEV. DB. TOKRASCB OjS, THE COMING OF CHK1ST.

4. Revival at the Second Christian Church •..*••• ,. ,»e^nn—Other CfanrchNews of the'City.

At the Central Presbyterian Church Sunday morning the musical programme was especially fine. Mr. Harry Richardson assisted the choir with violin obligate to Miss,Paige's solo, "Bend O'er th&, Cradle* Low." Thgre were ofher solos by. ajlss Dora Hauck, and Mr. Fred Paige an4 2dfi Kennedy.^,

Following, are some notes from1the Christma* sermon by the Rev, Dr. Torrance: There are events in Individual experience which engrave themselves so deeply on the memory that they are legible long years afterward as' dn the day when they occurred. There are events in the history of mankind whose memory the tooth of time Mb nuver been able to gnaw away. Such calamities for example as the fall and the flood have sun kthe die deep into the memory of the race and appear among the nights and legends'of diverse people's living far apart from each other and In fa*JKfferent conditions:

AK 1

The "Birth of Christ is another of those events which has made a deep and abiding impression on the race and which the rate memory refuses to let die. The observance of Christmas, the natal day of the Savior of the' world, Is extending under every year and spreading over the whole world and' always and everywhere it is a festival of joy:

W4 do not estimate high enough the importance of Christ's coming to the world. There was enough of what we call civilization T&ere were busy teeming populations, vast cities with magnificent buildings, widely .extended commerce, art, literature, philosophy, were at their zenith, and an asternal gra'ndbd&s'everywhere visible. But we learn from the thoughtful writers of that period that the prevailing feeling of the people was one oH disgust and despair. Disgust with 'the present and despair of anything: better Tri the future. The religion of the" people, brought them no comfort. Their philosophy'was a helpless. The two most powerful systems of philosophy prevalent at that tinio were epicureanism and stoicism. The ,moUo of the former was "Enjoy life," of the latter, 'Die." The advice of the epicurean "was "Crown thy brow with Toseb and make life one^ long revel. Turn away thlnp" eyes from the future, for it is a blanlc,v' .tFhe' advice of the stole was, "Bear thy .troubles with philosophic grace. If they „weigVtoo,heavily upon thee, kill thyjjpTt." Miserable comforters were they all, ani|'n'i£^.£n^er0$^at the bulk of the people weh disgusted with life and in despair of Ch6..*fttyr$!,_.vTj

The birth of Christ was like the sun rising 4u'.,t^© east. The darkness and the noxious exhalations of the night began to dissipate as the rising king of light and love sent his -says .throughout the earth.

It.,, was an event therefore worthy of amgelic joy. -A new song was written for the occasion and set to celestial music and sung by angel voices on the earth. It is the celebrated "Gloria In Excelsis," "Glory to Uocf in the tiighest and on earth peace, gooff'"Will to men."

What did' {lie angels mean when they sang "Glont- ta^God in the Highest?" The word "glory"-" gives little information, just as an electrii* light cannot give the inquirer much ftrflfriflifitan In regard to electricity. We must search further and ask in what sense the word is uSed elsewhere in the Scriptures. We read that "The heavens declare the-glory of God," i. e., the heavens manifest something of the greatness and graiideiir, Sthe5wisdom, power and goodness

fjp.| vv' The wrth-flf Christ glorified God just as the heavens do by revealing the nature and character of God. and his feelings towards us. While the answer to the first question In t&£»Westminster Catechism, "Man's chief eu€*i^ito glorify God and to enjoy him forever," has been greatly admired by thinkers. Carlyle comparing it with the dictrines of materialism has said that that answer is as-'&iglr above the "dirt philosophy -ot materialism as the heavens are above the eafth/'1 But this answer has also come in for a vast amount of shallow criticism. It is said that it represents God as a vain B(3t^^ijR, is BgajgEd at being lauded and prfcMixl* like w«aK-npnded human beings. AlJf p^J^Pweri^l^Ss'needed to this criticism Is that this is not the meaning at all which i£he. $eripfcttre8 and Christian writers intend to convey when they use the word "glory." The Standard Dictionary gives tep difterent definitions of this word and th«s tenth and least important is the one which these shallow critics insist that it must tneMfr*"""**""

The Glory of God is the manifestation to the intelligent universe of the nature and perfections-of God. That elevetion of human ajsrtde- *nd' ambition which .ci'feVoften falsel^ijMifedZ «iory is radically .'^different from this. When an individual or a nation is glorified it is usually at the expense of other.(individuals and nations. But wheh God is glorified every being in harmony with him" is "exalted and blc-ssed. When men Rlorify God they are thereby blessing and exalting themselves.

To glorify God is to reveal or manifest what he is. If the divine glory w'^toe entirely hidden, man would dwell in darkness and despair. Where the glory of God is partially obscured man dwells under clotuT and fog in misery and wretchedness. Life is not' worth living. But where the glory of God revealed that is heaVen. Human power will be developed to the utmost and human happiness without alloy. The rose glorifies God by Its coloring and fragrance, the heavens by their majesty. All the beauties' of Yh& heavens and the earth are but dim reflections of the beauty of the Ltird. The' contour bt the hills is but the swell of his garments, and the light is but the smile of his face. Man was made to reveal or make manifest the moral beauty of God. He was made in h!s image and after his likeness.'" Has he accomplished the object, of his existence as the flowers of earth or stars of heaven have done? If a stranger from another sphere, seeking after God, and hearing that there were beings on earth made after His'Image and likeness should visit ourv planet to learn something of what God was like from these likenesses of man called""* men, Twiaat a wretched idea that stranger would have of God.' Failure i* written a^oss the brow of man. He does no^Hrpreseot the moral and spiritual perfections of God.jOr in other words he doe« not glorify 4

But Christ, the God man, does no!*ihow forth to the universe what God is and how he regards man.

He giorifles Gc purity and perfection of his condf®^WM|oa to our "needs and by his readiness 't& and help us. When I would know what God would do under certain circumstances have but* to turn my eyes to Christ and see what tte He says, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." The coming of Christ has."brought klory to God in showing forth tc the universe the moral and fipifv, Itual penVctmns of the invisible God.

Fernald Played a Joke That Cost fler Faihet $1,000. Chicago, Dec. 27.—Mim Lyne Fernald, former fiancee of Sanger Pullman, played a joke on her father Friday which coat him Just |1,000.

It seems Miss Fernald approached her father for a Christmas check. Mr. Fernald thought he saw a chanoe for & good joke, and he told the daughter he would allow her to draw on him for $1,000, in case she could forge Ms name so successfully that the paying teller would hand over the money without question or suspicion. Miss Fernald succeeded. The teller was entirely deceived and kept on the rack for a whole day by Mr. Fernald, who insisted that some one had cashed a check which he had not signed. The row was kept up until c'osing time, and then the supposedly enraged patron of the bank let all his friends into the laugh. It appears in one of the versions that Miss Fernald asked this sum With which to provide for her friends and charity aifterward., 'V

The Red Men of Terrq ,Haute may not know It, the police do not know It. but nevertheless Robert Scoonover, who disappeared from the city a week or tw# sgo, came back last Saturday.' He may be -in the city yet. SchoonOVer left Terre Haute^Uoder 4 cloud. He has for some time beVtf. nio.-fc or less prominent in Red Men ci^c^as.

'tit TRIED TO BURN HISl^HTj

Mrs. Edward Matherly W^pis^feter Husband Arrested at yac^j

The wife of Edward MarfcaW was a caller at police headquarters ye^&ri|y afternoon. She came in pushing a carriage in which were seated two ch?13reot one 3 years old, the other just 1 year cid. The story she told to the mayor and to* C&tptihi Tierce, who is acting as superinieridMt iu the absence of SuperintenJem fifylithd, was one of sorrow. Edward Mathapy. she says, hVs been acting as badly as a husband possibly could. She told Mayor Rofe that her husband would not work ai^J that he would come to the city and stay fojr several days at a time, leaving her andVher two children alone and without, the necessities of life. She said she had worked to support the children and that he has come home and taken what little money she had earned that be might buy more whisky. Matherly, It appears, has rented a room in the city. and spends most of his time in it and the neighboring saloons. He has a good opportunity to become an industrious farmer, as the Matherly*! are well known and excellent people. Edward will not work, however, and this is the cause of the wife's troubles. Mrs. Matherly told the mayor that not long ago Matherly tried to burn her alive. He came home drunk and after beating her set fire to her dress. She was not so badly injured she could not put out: the blaze anil thfc alone Saved her life •and undoubtedly the -lives of heir children^-for iafter setting fire to her clothes Matherly left the house.

"ZAT TEMPAIRANCE QUESTIONE.**

The Count Makes Some Mystifying Experiments in America. A gentleman from abroad, who happened to be visiting in this country not a great while ago, had letters of introduction to many distinguished people in a prominent Eastern city and in Washington, which he presented in due time and was accorded the true American hospitality, tirfth a big H, says the Albany (N. Y.) Joilrhal. •In one of these cities (I won't say which) he pfesented his letter of introduction to the head of a family whichjli^d a local reputation for its views on ttfe! temperance question and which was regarded as being the most radical of the radicals on this subject. He was received witli gr^at cordiality and shown every attention Wing his brief visit, due to his high ranK. Xs there were several marriageable youpg ^ladies in the household, and as he -wag tinctured with the blood royal, it was thqugjit the proper caper to suspend the rule lor.djhe time being in regard to the use of wine^s and liquors at meals, and to give the 4jstiitguished foreigner an object lesson in African hospitality. So he was politely "urg'ed to remain to dinner and gracefully aceqpt-ed the invitation.

Just before dinner his host, during a lull in the conversation, called him aside and said: "Count, as you have doubtless been told, our family is committed on the subject of temperance, and we never have -anything stronger than water or tea and coffee on our table. Of course, you Europeans use wine at almost every meal and it is perfectly natural that you should expect it. I keep a little wine in tho house for medicinal purposes only and if you will accompany me to my private room I will be happy to have you join me in a small bottle of Clicquot." The Count assented and ascended with his ho6t to the latter's private bar, where he found a couple of pint boUle* of sparkling champagne on ice, all ready to he offered up. His host dexterously' persuaded the corks to leave their moorlngss and soon had the foaming nectar gurgling down the Count's and his own aescphagiis. They consumed the two bottles and then went down to dinner feeling refreshed aad edified. (Dinner over, the Count, accompanied by a eon Of the host, look a stroll in the conservatory, and while discussing botany with the bright young American, he -Was reminded parerithetically "that ours & a temperance family and we never use wine or whisky on our table." "I aril sometinles subject to severe cramps. Count,said the young man, "and on the advice 6f 'our family physician I drink the very be^t whisky that can be had. If you don't mind, why, I'll have you go up 4o my room and we will have a little of it together." The Count "dMfi^inlnd" ana went up and "kissed the 8afe£^ as the old toners down South say, ahdst^n went down inld the parlor tb flhd thatJlejoung ladies had changed their toilets tfh^^ere looking as pretty as pictures. Op.e a? the young ladies, a perfect America^ q^ben, with a completion as beautiful «£& t^mmer sunset, took her place at tbe. f^o forte and played in. the most charimng^manner the "Lullaby" from "Erminie,^jujd the Count trent into ecstasies thereat, and the young eon excused themselves, as they had pressing business at the of^cjr^ £nd left the Count in all his glory wlth,ir4i|»ai and the young, ladies. Sooa the ayasisi, ceased and matlam cautiously broached subject of temperance with a view to ascertaining on which«ide of the fence the Count lived. He assured her in fairly good Eaglisfc that he was not averse to a little wine occasionally and Oat he was accustomed when in France to- -having it with his metis, where they drink it just Americans do water. "Well," said madam, "we never nee any strong drinks on our table. Count, as It sets a b^k'«£aatcl* before Hie servants* The *C-.* VJTJ'w Si.UsTedi -x'S

If yc« would like a glass, of that 1 am sure' we would be only too happy to offer it to you," said madam in her blandest and most persuasive manner. The Count thought he would not mind trying "a, leetle of ze Hollan gilt," as he wanted to be agreeable, add accordingly the glasses and bottle were brought in from an adjoining room by one of the young ladies, and each of them joined their royal visitor in a friendly social smile. The Count took a good pull of this harmless looking liquid, and in about twenty minutes thereafter experienced great difficulty on account of the thickness of his speech in making himself understood. It went to his head and Into his knees, and but for ihe timely return nf the host and his son he would have collapsed entirely. They got him out into the bracing air, where he could pump ozone in nis lungs and gather his scattered thoughts.

On returning to consciousness he delivered himself as follows: "Zat es vere strange zat tempalrance questione. Sacre! I can not comprehendez. Von may not get drunk at ze table, but he may get so drunk as le diable in my lady's boudoir. Zat ees vere strange.. 1 can not comprehendez. Imposseeble! Imposseeble."

.'CLOAK MAKERS' SCALE.

Operators and Operatives Are Still Considering the Situation. iFlall River, Mass., Dec. 27.—The latest proposition of the operatives and the answer of the manufacturers have again left matters in this city in rather an uncertain condition, although by many the outcome anticipated is an acceptance 'by the .operatives, at least for the present, of the reduction. The proposition is understood to be- a compromise between two factions in the conference committee, one favoring an immediate strike and the other postponement of all action until Mardh.

Ie requests that the reduction be halved, that is, and per cent, instead of ll-19ths, until March 1st, when another conference suggested to consider the questions prevailing at that time. The answer of the manufacturers decided upon by the committee at a meeting this afternoon is a rejection of the proposition, so that, there is nothing for the operatives to do but'accept or oppose the reduction. The conference committee will meet again tomorrow night and on Thursday night general meetings of the weavers, spinners and carders will, be held for final action.

Think It Isa Murder.

Indiana, Pa., Dec. 27.—The mystery still surrounds the deaths of Milton Neal and hi» wife, whose bodies were found near Jacksonville, Indiana county, by their son Saturday night.

This idea is scouteD by the relatives. Murder, cold and premeditated. is ithe only statement which finds fitivor in their eyes. Across Neal's forehead there is a deep dent, wonderfully like a blow produced by poller. No one can account for this and say they think the murderer first felled him before firing the fata! cfrot. The coroner today adjourned the Inquest until Thursday.

Wisconsin Central Reorganization. A step looking forward to the reorganisation of the Wisconsin Central lines was taken this afternoon, when a decree of foreclosure was entered by Judge Jenkins, of the United States Circuit Court, in favor of John A. Stewart and E. H.

TREPHINING FOR APOPLEXY.

A Successful Operation on a Man in. New York.

New York, Dec. 27.—One of the most notable surgical operations performed recently, and one which may furnish a precedent for the treatment of apopletic cases, in which the pressure of a clot of blood formed on the brain can be localized, took place at ths New York Post-Graduate Hosp.'tal. The operation was that of trephining—the cutting of a hole in the skull of the patient through which the effused blood resulting from a stroke of apoplexy was allowed to escape and it was performed by one of the Visiting staff of surgeons, a local physician, who,lee tures and operates at the Past-Graduate and other hospitals, before a body of clinical students, doctors from all psrts of the country, who were In New York with a view to "brushing op" on the latest developments of work in their profession.

The patient waS'1 Henri Chevallier, a French dfessttssfcef?endears old M. Chevallier Is a man of goo®phyeiqtie, not unusually plethoric, time of his apopletic stroke, wakS-* dctettfed on December 16tb, was apparently flf gtod health. Mme. Chevallier said that her husband had been a well man most of his we, and bad never had an attack of apoplexy before, and that this one seemed quite unaccountable. When M,, Cher valller was seized, and his family physician had been summoned, it was see& that he was in a condition of imminent danger. The surgeon referred to beforehand, an acquaintance of the family, physician. Was callad in about an hour eUer the attack, and discovered that the parent was fast dying. It wm decided to perform an operation as quickly as possible, as that iris the only way to save the patient'* life, and to that end he was removed to the amphitheater of the POst-Graduate Hospital.

The operation was performed as a part of

JluuMnal (iUnic, witness** by the physi^" elans attending th« post-graduate school in thr Tho operating surgeon had sent for a neurologist, of whose services as A consultant lie wasted to make use, but the latler was late iu arriving, and so the surgeon went ahead with his work. As the *po* pletio attack had rendered M. Chevallier altaos! totally unconscious by paralysing the nerve centers, the eflosed blood having penetrated to all parts of the brain, very little ether had to be used.

The skull was trephined, and the clot of bloood formed by the bursting of some of the smaller arteries on the left side of the bead was allowed to escape. Some thirty eec-^ onds after the brain pressure, which was killing the patient, had been removed, his pulse and respiration, which had almost stepped, began to approach their normal action. From that time be has steadily improved. Wo set-back has occurred to reflect discredit on the judgment used in performing the operation, and the surgeon who carried it through looks for the patient's recovery. Just what his state of mind and body for the rest of his life will be is a matter of future development.

The operation seems to have been thor*^Cl oughly successful, as it was practically cer« tain when it was decided on that without 11s the patient would have died in a few hours*! The method of treatment heretofore used/ according to the statement of a physician seen at the hospital last night, has been of a very conservative character. The principal thing be did was to keep the patient qtilet and to provide as far as possible for hia goou.

For several months the eastbound liner out of Kansas City and St. Ijouis have beenloggerheads and passenger travel from the first named city has been over a triangular route. An agreement, effective January 1st, has Just been arrived at by which this sort of competition will come to an end. Tickets were sold in southwest Missouri river points' to Indiana and Ohio points through Chicago Under an agreement reached some time ago these tickets were sold over the circuitous route at exactly the same rate as those reading by the direct- lines. Therefore,. *,, passenger could buy in Kansas City a ticket-' for Cincinnati, reading via Chicago, and- se)J, here the Chicago-Cincinnati coupon at a price which greatly reduced the cost of l*is trip to this city. The Cincinnati coupon was then disposed of toy the scalper at a. rate which reprived the Ohio River lines of their: full revenue. It has now been agreed that beginning January 1st all roads will discontinue the sale of ticket's from Kansas City Atchison, St. Joseph and Leavenworth, vltf Chicago, to Kokomo, Indianapolis, Monroe/ Lafayette, Delphi, Richmond, Frankfort, Greensburg and other Indiana points, and to Hamilton, Dayton and Cincinnati, 0„

Sleep as an Aid to Digestion.

¥bere ia a time honored notion that bap after meals promotes digestion, and« filled with this belief, a large number of parsons habitually take snap after dlnncrf and think they arc doing precisely th« best thing for their health. There ar«t.., other good authorities, too, who claim that sleep dnring digestion clouds the mlc4 and predisposes those who indulge in it £a apoplexy and stupidity. A French scientist has made this subject a study and by exhaustive experiments has discovered that sleep doe* not aid digestion, but rest and a horizontal position are of great advan tage in promoting the proper condition* for perfect digestion and assimilation ot food.—New York Ledger.
