that name in all lands
.and in all Christian countries is Mary.
And there are Marys in palaces and
Marys in cabins, and. though German and
French and Italian and Spanish and Eng
lish pronounce it differently, they are all
namesakes of of the one whom we iind on a
bed straw, with her pa;e face against
-the soft cheek of Christ in the night of the
nativity. All the great painters have tried,
on canvas, the incidents to present of Mary and her child
ar.d the world’s that most famous
night in history. Raphael,in three
different masterpieces, celebrated them.
Tintoretto and Ghirlandajo surpassed
themselves in _ the adoration of the Magi.
■Correggio needed to do no more than ffis
Madonna to become immortal. The “Ma
•donna of the Lily,” by Leonardo da Vinci,
will kindle the admiration of all ages. But
all the galleries think of Dresden are forgotten
when I of the small room of that
gallery containing the ’“Sistine Madonna.”
Yet all of them were copies of St. Mat
thew’s Madonna and Luke’s Madonna, the
inspired had Madonna into of hands the old when book which
we put our we were
infants, and that we hope to have under
our heads when we die.
Behold, in the first place, that on the
first night of Christ’s life God honored the
brute creation. You cannot get into that
Bethlehem barn without going past the
camels, the mules, the dogs, the oxen. The
brutes of that stable heard the first cry of
the infant Lord. Some of the old nainters
represent the oxen and camels kneeling
that night might before the new-born babe. And
well they kneel! Have you ever
thought that Christ came, among other
things, to alleviate the sufferings of the
brute creation? Was it not appropriate
that He should, during the first few days
and nights of His life on earth, be sur
rounded by the dumb beasts, whose moan
and plaint and bellowing have for ages their been
a prayer to God for the arresting of
tortures and the righting of their wrongs?
Not a kennel in all the centuries, not a
bird’s nest, not a worn-out horse on tow
path, not a herd freezing in the poorly
built cow-pen, not a freight car in sum
mer time bringing the beeves to market
without water through a thousand miles
of agony, not a surgeon’s witnessing the
struggles of fox or rabbit or hut pigeon or dog
in the horrors of vivisection has an in
terest in the fact that Christ was born in
a stable surrounded by brutes.

fun that bird that is tory small for food:
forget not to put water into the cage o.
that canary; throw out some crumbs to
those birds caught too far north in the
winter’s inclemency; arrest that man who
is making that one horse draw a load
heavy enough for three; rush in upon that
scene where boys are torturing a cat or

night .Behold, that also, God honored in that first Christmas
shepherd the fields. Come
m, the child. "No!” boys, to Bethlehem and see
dressed good enough they say; “we are not
to come in.” “Yes,
you are; come in.” Sure enough, the
storms and the night dew and the bram
bles have made rough work with their ap
P are '-hut none has a better right to come
in. of that They Christmas were the first to hear the music
of Saviour’s night. The first an
nouncement a birth was made
to those men in the fields. There were
wiseacres that night in Bethlehem and
Jerusalem snoring in deep sleep, and there
were salaried officers of government who,
that hearing of it afterward, may have thought
of such they ought to have had the first news
ing from a great event, some fit one dismount
a swift camel their door and
knocking “Who till at some sentinel’s question,
come3 there?” the great ones of the
palace might have been told of the ecles
tial arrival. No; the shepherds heard the
first two bars of the music, the first in the
major key and the last in the subdued mi
nor, earth “Glory to God in the highest and on
the fields peace, good will to men!” Ah, yes,
were honored!
The old shepherds with plaid ar.d crook
have for the most part vanished, but we
have grazing on our United States pasture
fields and prairie about 42,000,000" sheep,
and all their keepers ought to follow the
shepherds of my text, and all those who
toil in fields, all vine dressers, all orchard
ists, all husbandmen. Not only that Christ
mas history night, but all up and down the world’s
God has been honoring the fields.
Nearly all the messiahs of reform and lit
erature olence have and eloquence and law and benev
come from the fields. Wash
ington from the fields Jefferson from the
fields. JLhe Presidential martyrs, Garfield
and Lincoln and McKinley, from the
fields. Daniel Webster from the fields.
Martin Luther from the fields. Before
this world is right the overflowing popu
lations of our crowded cities will have to
take to the fields. Instead of ten mer
chants in rivalry as to who shall sell that
one apple we want at least eight of them
to go out and raise apples. Instead of ten
merchants desiring to sell that one bushel
of wheat, we want at least eight, of them
to go out and raise wheat. The world
wants now more hard hands, more bronzed
cheeks, more muscular arms. To the fields!
God honored them when He woke up the
shepherds will, by the midnight lasts, anthem, and
He while toe world continue to
honor the fields. When the shepherd a
crook was that famous night stood against
the wall of the Bethlehem khan, it was a
prophecy of the time when thrasher’s flail
and farmer’s plow and woodman s axe
try, as man made the town.
Behold, also, that on that Christmas
g1?s h ttehZgs SiSt ha°ve
on “to brought™ without
infant Saviour Bethlehem
Mary’s being there at all. When the vil
lagers on the morning of December 26
awoke, by divine arrangement and in some
unexplained way the child comfortable Jesus might
have been found in some cra
dle of the village. But no, no! Mother
hood for all time was to be consecrated,
and one of the tenderest relations was to
be the maternal relation and one of the
sweetest words, “mother." In all ages
God has honored good motherhood. John
Wesley had a good mother; St. Bernard
had a good mother; Doddridge, a good
mother; Walter Scott, a good mother;
Benjamin West, a good mother. In a
great audience, most of whom were Chris
tians, I asked that all those who had been
blessed of Christian mothers arise, and
almost the entire assembly stood up. Do
you not see how important it is that ^all
motherhood be consecrated? Why did Ti
tian, the Italian artist, when he sketched
the Madonna make it an Italian face.
Why did Rubens, the German artist, in
his Madonna make it a German face !
Why did Joshua Reynolds, the English
artist, in his Madonna make it an English
face? Why did Murillo, the Spanish Spanish art
ist, in his Madonna make it a
face? I never heard, but I think they
took their own mothers as the type ot
Mary, the mother of Christ. When you
hear some one in sermon or oration speak
in. the abstract of a good, faithful, honest
mother, your eyes fill up with tears while
say to yourself, “That was my moth
The first word a child utters is apt to
be “mother,” and the old man in his dy
ing dream calls: “Mother! Mother. It

WORSHIP OF THE BEARD.
Laws Have Been Made and Wara
Fought for It. !
The rulers of the world, who are
supposed to rule, have converted a i .
man’s beard, which surely concerns thq
man himself and nobody else, into a
subject of eternal contention.
Laws have been made for It; warn
have been fought for it. The mysteri
ous reverence with which we invest
trifling things seenm to have been re
sponsible.
The old Roman father who struck
dead tho capitol man who touched his board
in the was not mad or cruel;
he was but the victim of one of those
delusions which afflict whole nations.
Ages back tho beard was the sign
manual cf the true man in Israel, and
Islam used it as a stepping stone to
paradise.
file hairs which rams from it in
combing were broken In two and
buried by the faithful followers of Is
lam, and when, at tho beginning of tho
sixteenth century, a sultan arose who
shaved his beard, the Mohammedan
world was shocked. That was the age
of reverence for the beard; the age of
intolerance was to come.
It came in, as intoierence has nearly
always come, with the church, which
forgets that charity is greater than
laith and hope. It was a bishop of
Worcester who carried a small knife
about with him to cut off offending
locks of hair as the wearer knelt hum
bly and confidingly before him.
Cutting off a handful, the bishop
would throw the hair in the wearer’s
face, telling him to cut off all the rest
or he would go to hell.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, in
the reign of Henry I. thought long
hair such a grave offence that lie ex
communicated all who wore it, and one
of the king’s chaplains was so enraged
by the fashion of wearing long hair at
court that after preaching a sermon
before Henry on the unspeakable ter
rors and torments awaiting wearers
of long hair in the other world, he took
a pair of scissors from his pocket and
cut the king’s hair in the presence of
his court.
But it was in vain that the church
denounced the long-haired generation.
It is chronicled of this period that
men, "forgetting their birth, trans
formed themselves, by the length of
their hairs, into the semblance of
womankind,” and that, when their hair
decayed, they knit about their heads
rolls of false hair.—Black and White.
THE FAVORITE’S JOKE.
The sultan was going through his
morning mail. Suddenly he developed
a terrible scowl, and, passing a page
over to his favorite, he exclaimed:
“Wouldn't that jar you?”
“What is it, your majesty,” asked
the favorite, for she knew not how to
read.
“A note from the powers,” snapped
the sultan.
“Ah,” murmured the lady, with a
dark-brown look in her eyes, “I have
heard of jarring notes, but this is the
first time I knew they produced the
discord in the concert of the powers.”
Which goes to show that a college
education is not necessary to one who
is naturally witty.—Portland Ore
gonian.
Two Women and a Deer in a Kitchen.
A deer went into the town of Michi
gamme and entered the kitchen of
Peter Malway's house through an open
door. The animal upset a table, smash
ed the dishes and nearly trampled up
on Mrs. Malway and another woman
who was in the kitchen with her. Af
ter making a few plunges about the
room the deer got out and started for
the lake, a short distance away. It
entered a boat house through the front
door and then leaped Into the water.
The deer was shot by Frank Goodroe
and Frank Muck. The animal was a
doe and weighed 125 pounds dressed.
