Tomorrow Christianity will celebrate the anniversary of her natal day. The homes and altars of those hundreds of millions of mankind who believe in Christ the Son of Man will be decked in evergreens and flowers. From myriades of towering spires and lofty domes will deep-toned bells ring out their happiest notes of rejoicing when solemn midnight ushers in with awe-inspiring ceremonv the glorious and sacred anniversary, and within the consecrated temples from which they rise will kneeling worshippers devoutly join in echoing the Divine an them sung by the Angel choir at Nazar eth: "Olorv to God AND ON Hlicia,y HERRMANN'S ! HERRMANN'S BUY SENSIBLE Look over tlii.s List uml 3Ir. J. W. Clark, who has been lying in a critical condition for soma time ana whose death Ins been momentarily ex pected, is still surviting although his physician informs us he c innot hold out much longer. All young men who intend to ans wer the calls made by their young lady friends last New Year's day, should se cure their cards for tint purpose. ' We have the finest samples of New Year's cards yet brought to the city, and we re quest all parties wishing any, to call and leaye their orders before that day. juuge Kussell, in the goodness of his heart and having a desire to make m all people htppy and contented, granted the following permits to enter the marriageable state today: Mr. S. M. Wheeler to Miss Florence J. Ellis, Mr. Daniel Kelly to Miss Minnie J. Welch, and Mr. Geo. II Cutler to Miss Anna L. Hanson. A Christmas service will be held tomorrow morning in the German Methodist church, corner of Sixth and Granite streets, to le conducted by Hv. l r: . . J jam, me regular pastor, in the evening a Christmas tres entertainmnt will be given at the same place, to commence at 7:30 sharp. Everybody is cordially in vited to attend. A couple of gentlemen were appar ently engaged ia an interesting con yersa tion today while standing on the street wnen an acquaintance of their's passed by, accompanied by his little daughter. He saluted his friends by saying "How do you do, gentlemen ?" Whereupon the little girl asked "Papa, why did you call mem gentlemen : IN TIIK HIGHEST. KAItTII PEACE TO MEN OK r.nnn WII.I.." Civilization will everywhere be decked in 1 oliday attire, exchanging gifts and showing such evidences of fraternal am ity ami universal peace as would make the earth a paradise were it perpetual. For on that day are celebrated the proph ecies fulfilled, the plentitude of God's infinite mercy, the exhalting c-f man's dignity, the union of God and man in Christ the Redeemer, and on that day the Christian feels his confidence renewed that He who canie on earth and suffered to save the sinning will not withhold Wis blessing from mankind. Thut divine pledge of "Peace on earth to men of good will'' was exemplified in an especial manner in the lives and labors of the early founders and teachers of Christianity and has been a constant and eloquent rebuke to fierce fanatics and preachers of violeuce and hatred in every age. Armed only with the divine com mission to teach the Truth they faced the mightiest empires of the world and they triumphed. The humble stable was ex alted above the kinyly palace and learned philosophers bowed in awe before the unlettered fisherman. The civilization of the world accepted the new Dispensa tion and with one acclaim selected the ursc nristmas uay as the great monu ment by w hich the world's history should be reckoned and nil true philosophy be guided. So complete has been this vic tory of Christianity that, outside of those who are made glad on Christmas Day by Christian teaching, the world is today a barren desert of barbarism and savagery. Let civilization then rejoice upon 'this sacred holiday and keep its traditions forever green that the conquests of Chris tian truth may still continue; spiritual darkness dispelled', religious discord dis placed iy Christian chanty, and man be made more worthy of his redemption and Ins mission. On Christmas Day let peace and amity everywhere prevail. Let the kindly tokens of affection be exchanged. Let the little children be made nappy with their Christmas toys. Let enmities be hud aside and friend ships pledged anew, for such a celebra tion m.iKes us better Christians and bet ter citizens. In the genial glow of the common festival of joy the ice of mutual prejudi ces melts and disappears, and we grow to better appreciate the blessings of unity and tlu folly of selfishness and discord, fn such surroundings are youth's un crtain footsteps guided arig'ht arrd man hood's wisest resolutions formed and kept. In this spirit and to this end does The Herald bid all its readers a Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year. see if you cannot find what you are for. looking Handkerchiefs Our Line of Linen and Silk Hudkerchiefs comprises everything New and Novel in these Goods.
