Terrell’s military staff, can secure
drees and full dress uniforms at a

forms, as well as the dress uniforms
they must buy, there will be expend

Ninety-one bills enaoted by the
legislature of Georgia during the
last session have been signed by
Gov. Terrell, and they are now laws
of the state. Of these 80 are purely
local in character. Here is the spe
cific evidence that the legislature is
too much burdened with looal legis
lation. Every one of these 80 laws
could have been arranged by looal
option in the counties directly inter
ested, under a specific general law.
Secretary Hay is still working on
the. Colombian treaty for Panama
canal right of way, but expeots that
it will be completed when congress
reconvenes. Under the provisions
of the convention a lump sum of
$10,000,000 will be paid to Colom
bia to begin with and an annual
rental thereafter, the amount of
which is still to be determined.
This amount constitutes the one
stumbling block to the completion
of the treaty. Colombia demands a
rental of $600,000 per annum and
Secretary Hay regards the amount
as exorbitant. Colombia’s demand
H is based on the claim that she now
receives $250,000 from the Panama
Railway and other revenues which
bring the total to over $400,000.—

After Thirty-One Years.
With this issue the Home Journal
completes the thirty-first year of its
life, and since April, 1880, the pres
ent management has been in control.
Of course there have been many
errors of omission, and commission,
but we do not now recall any oause
for bitter regret. Greater energy
and more abundant talent would
have given better financial results
and more cause for gratulation, but
we have done the best we could
with the lights before us and as we
understood conditions and environ
ment.

of great joy, the whole making an

Changes there have been, and many
who were patrons in former years
are gathered into the eternal home,
and new friends have come.
The Home Journal has served
faithfully, aB the editor understood
the situation, and in turn we have
cause to be grateful for the many
evidences of friendly appreciation.
Now, after these years we extend

The date of this issue is Christ

the birthday of Christ, the most

May all men observe the day in

we will, but also in keeping with the
teachings of Him whose love was
and is a benediction and a mercy to
mankind.

PERRY LOAN & SAVINGS BANK,
Dates of Christ’s Life.
A Houston student of the Bible
furnishes for publication the follow
ing deductions from th.e life of
Uhrist as presented m the Bible:
Christ was born about October
4th in the year 4128 of the world,
in Bethlehem, Judea. On this night
he was visited by the shepherds.
He was circumcised on October
12th, 4128; was presented to the
Lord in Jerusalem November 13 th,
4128. There he was received by
Simon and Anna, who acknowledged
Him as the Ohrist, and as being the
“one set for the rise and fall of
many,” to be accepted by Borne and
rejected by others.
At this time Joseph was directed
to go to Egypt, supposed to be to
Cairo, where Joseph remained elev
en years and then returned to Naza
reth, it then being A. D. 10.
In A. D. 11 Christ went with his
parents to Jerusalem to be taxed
(taking of census), and while in the
city he appeared before the DDs. of
this time, displaying superior abili
ties to the surprise and discomfiture
of the doctors. There for the first
time He declared “I am about my
Father’s business.”
If
After this He spent eighteen years
in remaining obedient to his parents.
About August 12th, A. D. 29, He
received baptism of John, and then
entered the wilderness of tempta
tion, remaining forty dayq, until
September,' A. D. 29. About this
time his public ministry began, and
continued 3£ years, until Friday,
April 8th, A. D. 33. On Sunday,
April 10th, He arose from the grave,
and on every eighth day appeared
to His disciples during forty years.
On Thursday, May 19th, A. D. 33
He ascended, to remain until the
fullness of Gentile rule of seven
times, whioh ends yith A. D. 1914.
Suspicion is entertained that the
Emperor of Germany is directly re
sponsible for the coercive measures
now in force against Venezuela, and
that he is preparing to test the
strength of the Monroe doctrine.
However, it is said that England,
Germany and Italy have expressly
declared that they do not intend to
acquire or hold Venezuelan territo
ry, and the Monroe doctrine only
forbids the acquisition of territory
or the assertion of sovereignty on
the American continent by Europe
an governments, further than now
held and exercised.
Government agents have so far
been unable to purchase property iu
Atlanta on whioh to build a new
postoffice and court house. A disa
greement as to price exists.
In Colorado, Nebraska and other
western states a blizzard and snow
storm prevailed last Friday and Sat
urday, and travel on the railroads
was seriously interrupted.
