The Christ Incarnate honored ba byhood and we are glad of it. But while wo bestow our Christmas gifts and carals upon tne babe in Bethlehem we rejoice still more that the manger could not hold him. Like all other babies he grew He did not disappoint the budding hope of future manhood. This af ter all, is the greatest charm of the cradle. Not what it is but what it will be. All along the line of a normal, human development, the God Incarnate has lived and walked and talked and played arid worked and wept and rejoiced just like other men. Tliis suggests to my mind a line of thought that seems iippropriate to this occasion. Now as we bid adieu to a departing year with one hand and greet a oe\v one with the other, as mother earth is soon to wake with fresh energy from her soc long winter nap and throw off her swaddling clothes of snow andice to-produce a new crop of vine and verdure, leaf and lawn, flower and fruit, so we shall wake from the long slumber of the receding, win ter solstice. Growth and develop ment in their most interesting forms will engage our attention. But while the earth throbs through all her veins and arteries, sending the plant food to the seed germs and building up the tissue of a, va rjed and wonderful vegetation, the great heart of humanity is beating and throwing the lifeblood of stat ue and character and destiny into human form. I think 1 may safely trust my congregation to plow and nurse the field and garden and flower yard. You will give a full share of attention to fertilizers and fertilization, to seed and culture. You will not neglect the Chester pigs, the Jersey cows, the Morino sheep, and the Pointer dogs. All this and more you have a mind to do, and I have no quarrel with you. But amidst it all had we not better give some attention to raising chil dren? l)r. Haygood delivered a Sunday School lecture at Cedar Grove, and, observing that there were not many married ladies present, asked what had become of the women ? He was told that they were at home raising children. “Well,” said he, “it is a splendid business; I have no more to say.” We are very much concerned about the problem of agriculture, commerce, manufactures, and the. arts; but the great problem of a nation is how to raise the largest crop and the best quality of chil dren. It is the true measure of its prosperity. Well, we may be indiff erent to this problem, but, if we do not solve it, the children will, per haps to our shame and sorrow. You can put the baby in the cradle but you cannot keep It there. It will grow out and kick out and stand erect and stretch up, till after awhile it will lay its cliiu on your shoulder, if not on your head and say, “I’m bigger’n you.” I have no cut and dried plan to of- ~>u for raising children. I must be an exception to the one knows better how than he who has ''*hildren“are al ii ad just to know ' r nosie JOHNSON HOTEL. GLA. myi DECATUR STREET. MRS. E. A.

I ha\. enough to do with childre. wise or otherwise, and principles virtuous or vicious, and character noble or ignoble. About two thous and years ago a little Russian boy with-keen black eyes and curly hair, went out on a lake shore seek ing amusement. He found an old worm-eaten boat stored in a barn, and became intensely interested in it and asked a great many childish questions about it. Well, it was a very small thinjr, made up of small things, but then and there in that little inquisitive brain, was hatch ed the new original idea of a Rus sian fleet, though Russia was then almost shoreless That boy becamei Peter the Great whose career set the Russian flag afloat, blotted na tions from the map pf the world, and spread the Russian Empire over .one sixth of the globe. How do we know what ideas may be hatched in the brains of our boys and girls? If I were called upoii'to select the great men and women of any age, I would go to the school and the playground. The boy or girl shows what he or she is; the man or woman often shows what he or she would like to be. The child Jesus grew and so will the boys and girls now. What are we doing for them ? What interest do we take in them ? We are anx ious about thei r health, when they get sick. If we knew more and studied more the laws of health, we would give the doctors less trouble and a more robust physique to our children. But that would be no more than we do for our domestic animals. The mind will grow. It needs culture and training. The germs of thought are there. They need the fructifying conditions to sprout and grow. Now is the time to open schools. The question must now be discuss ed. How many and who can go to school ? This brings up that ghost of “hard times.” The fickle God dess Fortune flirted with us last year. In one of her freaks she pour ed the rain all down in torrents and hajl no more to scatter through the cotton months. So we must retrench expenses, but where ? Not on the state and county taxes; they must be paid to the last cent. Not on the grocery bill. The world owes us three sumptons meals a day and we must have them. Not on the drygoods; the spring hats and dresses in the style of ’85 with two dozen buttons and no button holes, must come. But we must cut down on the school bill. We can not trifle with the tax collector. Our creditors are inexorable, but these boys and girls are in our power and cannot help themselves. We can make them balance ac counts and repair the damage of our foolish investments and wild speculations. We can save the tui tion account and put the children to work.- We have had sad lessons in the history of Georgia. The thrif ty farmers felled the forest trees and cleared the land. They made slaves of their children till they made money to buy black-ones, and then worked them still like slaves to buy more land for the negroes to make more cotton to buy more ne groes. They lined the cracks in the negro cabins lest they take sold, but sent their children to the old field school house with cracks in it big enough to throw a cat through. Thus they resolved in a circle of land aud negroes and cot ton till 1865 set the black slaves free and kept the white ones in bondage.

We have but little to fear when parental affection is guided by in telligence and a high moral senti ment. The problem is of universal and eternal interest, but the work is chiefly domestic. God in his wis dom has made every man’s home his castle and his household his kingdom, and he is rash, indeed who dares to invade It. *lSTot even the civil laws dare to Interfere with it till parents show them selves to be brutes. This rais os the important question, do paren.ts re cognize this high authority v/ested in them and the consequent re- sponsibility ? Aye we traitors to our trust ? or do we bring to this t vork the result of careful study, and anx ious thought ?, Do we recog nize that children are jewels lent us to polish for a nobler setting? .The little boys are lively little tea ses and torments, handy to run on er rands and do drudgery and, wh en older, strong help; but is that all? The little girls are sweet littl e nuisances, handy to help their mothers, pretty to half dress ami look at if they freeze off to their kne^s; but is that all?

The school cau a,? no m0 ^ e than stimulate the mind aOd direct its efforts into useful channeJ s< °“ r children learn to read, the^ r " read, and another important q'. ue ®' tion arises what shall they reaa * Here again we are much inclined to shirk responsibility. The press is an educator, and the library is a good index to character. Do we. know what onr children read ? Do we provide for them a wholesome literature ? Or do we content our selves with the sensational stnffas cheap as dirt, and dirtier too, with a handsome chromo as a premium ? I have been to some houses in Georgia to visit my own members and found no Bible, nor hymn book, nor religious newspaper] not even the county paper, but found “The James and Younger Broth ers.” If I were to organize a school to educate out-law* and despera- does, I would adopt it as a text book. Think not that your duty ends when you send the children to school. I have heard mothers say, “I do wish school would open to get these children out of our way ” We may get them out of our way and then they may go their own way. We had better be troubled a little with their silly questions and teach these young ideas how to shoot. This growth of children is not only physical and mental, but also esthetical. The mind is a camera obscura that projects the landscape and scenery of childhood upon the surface of character. We think it a waste of labor and means to pro cure pictures and other things just to look at, but the truth is the fur niture, the drapery, the order and symetry and color of t he childhood home; the bowers and festoons and flowers of the playground; the fountains, lakes, and groves of the surrounding landscape,—all are ed ucating the growing youth, mould ing Hie taste and toning the habits of the opening mind. They are worth far more than they cost, as silent but none the less real fac tors in the education of our chil dren. Remove all eye-sores, de formities, blotches, and botches, from the scenes of childhood and you increase largely the chance of escaping the rude and gross in manner and character. The es thetic in human nature is divine in its origin and he would make him self less a man who would elimi nate it from his chafaater. In our greed for gain we may despise the sentimental and poetical and beau tiful, but, when we discourage it by word or act, we skiin the cream from the milk of human happi ness. I commend you for the taste you display about your homes, but have you been up to look at your seminary, to examine its beau tiful architecture, its paintings and pictures and fresco, its campus adorned with walks and hedges and shrubbery ? SupDose we go up aud examine it and see what kind of scenes are projected on the school life of our children. Is Car rollton too poor to secure these things, or too stingy to doit? Finally, the growth of childhood is not only, physical, mental, and esthetical, but also ethical. The right and the wrong, the good and the bad, the true and the false, the noble and the base, are among the distinctions the mind in its earli est stage of development attempts to make. It is the law of God writ ten upon men’s hearts. That too needs tender care and training. A scheme of education that ignores or neglects It, is criminally defec tive. I am persuaded that this neg lect in early growth will account for the multitude of moral cranks. It is the poisou leaven of our soci ety and civilization, and we have but little hope of extracting it from the present generation. The grave is the only remedy except where the power of the gospel redeems individual cases. The moral pru ning must begin in the nursery. Make the decalogue and the gol den rule and the Lord’s prayer the first lessons of childhood, * and stamp their moral impress upon the opening and expanding mind, and you will have less. cause to complain of venality, fraud, pecu- tation, legalized theft and robbery, respectable vices, and fashionable follies. Childreu will grow up strong in morals as in statue and in mind. Like the child Jesus, let them wax strong in spirit. Rub on a coat of moral wax every day at heme, in school, in work or play, and as the coatings dry and har den on each other, it will stick to them. I once examined a class in Rhetoric and gave for one question in punctuation, “Copy the Lord’s prayer and use the points«necessa- ry.” A girl of sixteen failed, be cause she did not know it by heart. She lost ten on her examination, and took^a good, wholesome cry. I suppose she knows it now. Wax it on, not simply the words, but teach them the spirit, illustrate the divine law in the daily occurrences of life and the ethical wax will ^fjek. Demand it of teachers, and bor for it. God help and save the hardened, crusty sinner! There is not much chance nor hope for him, but there is hope for the children. I am proud of the motto that graces the Nevv Year’s issue of our church paper, the Methodist Protestant: “Childhood for the church and the world for Christ.” I would like to see it wrought with needle-work in the richest colors of zephyr and hung in every home, school and churches. Anoth er generation would verify the truth that: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul,” and that, “The blood of Jesus Christ, his son, cleanseth from all sin.” I know not what excuse can be ren dered for childhood’s wrongs. Par ents can rob it with impunity, but in the great day of reckoning, that impunity in ay prove to be Caesar’s ‘‘GRAVIU3 LX COMMUTATIONS RE- RUM.” May this new year mark a better record for us! As childhood grows to youth and youth expands into manhood and womanhood, may wi ser counsels and a more fervent zeal stamp it with the impress of strength and wisdom and beauty and truth and righteousness! A happy new year to all. May it leave us all wiser and better than it finds us! Josh Billing’s Philosophy. “Accident” is a word that should be expunged from the dictionary ;it has no meaning. We can’t prove more thad half we believe, and perhaps it is better for us that we can’t. Genuine poetry is as natural and joyful as a leapiug stream, but too much of the poetry is like the same stream trying to run up hill Forgiveness is a delicate thing to administer; it is more apt to make people sullen thao humble to for give them. It is all very well when a takes his religion into his business; but when he takes his business in to his religion, look out for break ers. Men are born with a character; their reputations they have to make themselves. The ambition of man is to gratify his vanity; but very few wish to be great for the sake of being good. Pride should• remember this: it has got to die and rot in the ground and, perhaps,; right alongside of a pauper. When a man talks about himself I can’t afford to,believe more than half what he says about himself; for if he is a man of any sense, this is about all he believes himself. Young man, the world are quite willing that you should make a fool of yourself; you have it in your power to disappoint them. See that you do it. There are quacks in literature as well as in medicine. There ain’t but little truth in the world anyhow, and therefore the man who talks a great.deal must elongate the facts occasionally. Whenever you read a very ab struse sentence, you will find the idea in it very weak. A genuine good thing can be.told in the sim plest language possible. When a man undertakes to prove what he can’t understand, there is great danger of his becoming a crank. He who cultivates eccentricities is an inevitable fool. It requires more brains to be a good critic than an author. He who can point out the faults in a com position is certainly a better man than the one who made them.

Because a man is a grave and reverend seigneur, a Senator of the United States, that is no reason why he should not be “a boy again” whenever it is his whim to be a boy, in spite of his bald or grey head, his eye-glasses, side whiskers and the portly dimension of his stomache. It proves simply that men are only children of a larger srrowth, and that they never outgrow the spirit of mischief which is inherited, we suppose, from the primal monkey who disported himself in the cocoa groves of some antedeluvian age, preparing himself to be the progen itor of the modern school boy and the latter’s big brother, the modern United States Senator. This brings us to the beginning, jto the initial letter of the Senatorial joke, which, for want of something better—say a three column disquisition on the tariff question—we propose to re late. It seems_that Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is one of the** lead ing wags of the Senate. Between him and Garland, the prospective attorney general, there is a constant war of practical jokes, more or less ludicrous or outrageous as it may chance to happen. Some time ago Garland “got off” a good one on Butler, and smarting under it, Butler vowed that he would be avenged an the irrepress ible Garland. Knowing Garland’s fondness for candy he procured some caramels and also some cubes of brown soap, which, when wrap ped in thin tissus paper, precisely resembled to the eye, the caramels. Butler knew that if he tried to put the cubes of soap off on Garland he, would fail, as the latter was of course on the alert, so far as he was concerned. So Voorhees, of In diana, who sits next to Garland was chosen for the confederate. Said Butler to Voorhees: “Here are two genuine caramels—these man 0 fh ers are cubes of soap. Go to your seat, lay the soap cubes on your desk, eat the genuine caramels, put your trust in Providence and say nothing.” Voorhees did as he was told. Garland observed the cubes on the desk, and saw that Voorhees was eating something with an evi dent relish. “Hello!” said Garland, “what are you eating?” “I’ve got a cold, and I’m eating some candy,” replied Voorhees, very much absorbed, in some paper in his hands. Garland looked at the counterfeits wistfully for a moment—“Hum,” he said fi nally, as he pickeed one up, “I’ve gotsomdthing of a cold myself;” and he popped the piece of soap in to his mouth. There was a crunch ing of his jaws, and—he saw that lie was caught. Voorhees watched him out of the tail of his eye, as did a dozen other of the old boys sit ting around. Garland knew he was under fire; but he was determined not to flinch. After chewing his soap for a moment he looked up at Voorhees with the inimitable air of innocent earnestness that is characteristic of him, and softly asked: “Do you eat many of these things when yon have a cold?” As Garland kept on chewing and an almost imperceptible strip of lath er formed on his lips, Voorhees be came alarmed and went to Butler. “The fellow’s actually eating that stuff! Why, it will kill him, won’t it 9 ” “No-o-o-o,” drawled Butler, “I don’t reckon anything .will kill that man!” Garland was game. He finished his soap; and no man could say that he looked as it he didn’t enjoy it. you- if they' refuse, dismiss them. The blessed Christ not only grew and was filled with wisdom, and waxed strong in spirit, but “the grace of God was upon him”.Though the very Christ himself, the author and finisher of the Christian faith, he was not too proud to be a Chris tian, a little boy Christian, a sub- Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness ;the more a man has the more he wants; instead of filling a vacuum it makes one; if it satisfies one want its doubles and trebles that want another way.

Joe Brown Senator Brown was asked the other day at a banquet if he was ever drunk. He replied, “never but once. When I was a boy I was sent to mill by my father on a very cold day When I reached the mill I found the wheel frozen into the creek, whice was a solid mass of ice. We were obliged to have some meal ground, so we got axes and cut the ice oht so as to free the wheel. That chilled us very much and the miller supplied us with whisky. When I got home I was pretty badly mixed. My mother was disposed to sympathize with me, but my father was very em phatic. He addressed me a very forcible argument whice I never forgot.” The inevitable frog has turned up again—this time hopping out of a block of Maine ice^in which he had been imprisoned two years.
