The Northwestern BEVSCHOTKR * GIBSON, Eds. * Pubs. LOUP CITY, - * NEBRASKA. A calm survey of the situation indi cates a very close race between the sleds and the skates. A trusted employe of a Ixis Angeles bank took, finally, over $5,000 for every year that he had been trusted. Germany has decided to begin the abolishment of slavery In East Africa. Civilization appears to be spreading. Chicago anarchists are stla cheering for Czolgosz, but they can not hope to revive him from his electric slumbers. Richard Mansfield says Baltimore au diences are cold. He might try the experiment of roasting them before the curtain. Tt is high time to begin to organize against the injustice of Sir Robert Ball's forty-eight-hour day $0,600,000 years hence. A Baltimore society woman has erected a marble tablet over her dog’s grave. Let us hope she left a apace on it for her own epitaph. Prince Henry made a mistake in marrying a queen to pay his debts. He ought to have come to America and sold himself to an heiress. A Michigan man climbed to the top of a tall tree to shoot himself. After taking all that trouble he might have Jumped and saved his ammunition. The Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad has been leased for 999 years. Any woman will tell you that the transaction looks like a great bargain. The astronomers are in some doubt ns to the character of the nebulous sur roundings of the new star. Perhaps it is a conjunction of dramatized nov els. A Boston society is called the "Old School Boys’Associatlon,” and as it has just celebrated the 85th birthday of a member, it seems to be appropriately named. Smokers will note that under the lat est decision cf the United States Su preme Court a Manila cigar and a cheroot come under the head of do mestic articles. The man who is climbing after high ideals should not allow himself to feel discouraged by the reflection that if we were morally perfect we would bore each other to ueath. The woman who in her quest for knowledge too.c a volume from a book store without going through the for mality of paying for it is in a fair way to learn something. A man in Norristown, Pa., who was supposed to have dropped dead at a ball, was found, on medical examina tion, to have broken his neck by run ning into a wall while dancing a jig. A Boston paper has found 818 couples in New England who were married over fifty years ago and are ready to celebrate their diamond wedding, sur rounded, in most cases by many de scendants. When Herr Zehrehneisel. of the Reichstag, debated the tariff on Ameri can meats,and said the whole business was a chain of humiliation, he most probably referred to the duties on links of sausage. The Austrian premier has threatened to suspend the constitution if the reichsrath does not behave itself. To those who hare followed the perform ance of this "body for a year or so it will be a distinct surprise to learn that Austria has any constitution to sus pend. The Germans have stopped sneering at American control and administra tion in the Philippines, and are now admitting that it is successful and wise. The fact that trade is rapidly increasing, as shown by the imports and exports of the islands, has a ten dency to convince even rivals that Uncle Sara knows how to manage col onies or outlying territories as well as any of the slder nations. An eminent French psychologist having again given expression to the theory that insanity and genius are akin it would be interesting to have the psychologists explain who so many men of genius have been sane while multitudes of insane persons have been in no sense geniuses. Poe and Byron offer excellent examples in support of the insanity theory, but how, on that theory, are the psychologists going to account for Thackeray or Dickens or Sir Walter Scott or that eminently sane and wholesome philosopher, William Shakespeare? An Ohio boy, 12 years old, who drank a quart of whisky, said It ‘‘burned,’ but that after it was down it "made things hum." This youth seems already to have reached that state of depravity which is generally acquired only through a long residence in the moonshine belt. O. H. P. Belmont is commanding at tention in Washington on account of the extraordinary height of his collar. This may do for Belmont, but there are men who would prefer to have it come from the height of their foreheads. TALMAGE'S SERMON. DISCOURSE APPROPRIATE FOR THE PRESENT HOLIDAY SEASON. Sclijrct I# the Nativity — How God Hon ored Childhood—Motherhood for All Time tonsri rated by the Scene la the Humble Stable at Uethlchein. (Copyright. 1901, Louis Klopseh, N. Y.) Washington, Dec. 22.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage is full of the nativity and appropriate for the holidays; text, Luke 11., 1G, “And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.” The black window shutters of a De cember night were thrown open and some of the best singers of a tvorld where they all sing stood there, and putting back the drapery of cloud chanted a peace anthem until all the echoes of bill and valley applauded and encored the halleluiah chorus. Come, let us go into that Christmas scene as though we had never before worshiped at the manger. Here is a Madonna worth looking at. I wonder net that the most frequent name in all lands and in all Christian centuries is Mary. And there are Marys in pal aces and Marys in cabins, anu, though German and French and Italian and Spanish and English pronounce it dif ferently, they are all namesakes of the one whom we find on a bed of straw. with her pale face against the soft cheek of Christ in the night of the nativity. All the great painters have fried, on canvas, to present Mary and her child and the incidents of that most famous night in the world's his tory. Raphael, in three different mas terpieces. celebrated them. Tintoretto and Ohirlandajo surpassed themselves in the adoration of the magi. Correg gio needed to do no more than his Ma donna to become immortal. The "Ma donna of the Lily," by Leonardo da Vinci, will kindle the admiration of all ages. But all the galleries of Dres den are forgotten when I think of the small room of that gallery containing the "Sistine Madonna." Yet all of them were copies of St. Matthew’s Madon na and Luke's Madonna, the inspired Madonna of the old book, which we had put into our hands when we were infants and that we hope to have under our heads when we die Behold, in tae first place, that on the night of Christ’s life God honored the brute creation. You cannot go 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 (be old painters represent the oxen and camels kneeling that night before the new-born babe. And well might they kneel! Have you ever thought that Christ came, among other things, to alleviate tht sufferings of the brute creation? Was it not appro priate that he should, during the first few days and nights of his life on earth, be surrounded by the dumb beasts, who^e moan and plaint and bellowing have for ages been a prayer to God for the arresting of their tor tures and the righting of their wrongs? Not a kennel in all the centuries, not a bird's nest, not a worn-out horse on towpath, not a herd freezing in the poorly built cov.pen, not a freight car in summer time bring the beeves to market without water through a thou sand miles of agony, not a surgeon's room witnessing the struggles of fox or rabbit or pigeon or dog in the hor rors of vivisection, but has an interest in the fact that Christ was born in a stable surrounded by brutes. Standing then, as I imagine now I do, in that Bethlehem night with an infant Christ on one side and the speechless creatures of God on the other, 1 cry: la>ok out how you strike the rowel ir.to that horse’s side; take off that curbed bit from that bleeding mouth; remove that saddle from that raw back; shoot not for fun that bird that is too small for food' forget not to put water into the cage of that canary; throw out some crumbs to those birds caught too far north in the winter's inclemency; arrest that man who i3 making that one horse draw a load heavy enough for three; rush in upon that scene where boys are torturing a cat or transfixing a butterfly and grasshopper; drive not ofT that old robin, for her nest is a mother’s cradle and under her wing there may be three or four musicians of the sky in training. In your fami lies and in your schools teach the com ing generation more mercy than the present generation has ever shown and in this marvelous Bible picture of the nativity, while you point out to them the angel, show them a^so the camel, and while they hear the celes tial chant let them also hear the cow's moan. Behold also in this Bible scene how on that Christmas night God honored childhood. Childhood was to be hon ored by that advent. He must have a child’s light limbs and a child's dim pled hand and a child's beaming eye and a child’s flaxen hair, and babyhood was to be honored for all time to come, and a cradle was to mean more than a grave. Mighty God, may the reflec tion of that one child's face be seen in all infantile faces! Enough have all these fathers and mothers on hand if they have a child in the house. A throne, a crowd, a scepter, a kingdom, under charge. Be careful how you strike him across the head, jarring the brain. What you say to him will be centennial and mil lennial, and a hundred years and a thousand years will not stop the echo and re-echo. Do not say, “It is only a child.” Ilather say, “It is only an immortal.” It is only a masterpiece of Jehovah. It is only a being that shall outlive sun and moon and star and ages quadriennlal. God has infinite re- | sources, and he can give presents of great value, but when he wants to give the richest possible gift to a household he looks arouni all the worlds and all the universe and then gives a child. Yea, in all ages God has honored childhood. He makes al most every picture a failure unless there be a child either playing on the floor or looking through the window or seated on the lap gazing into the face of the mother. It was a child in Naoman’s kitchen that told the great Syrian warrior where lie might go and get cured of the leprosy, which at his seventh plunge in the Jordan was left at the bottom of the river. It was to the cradle of leaves in which a child was laid, rocked by the Nile, that God called the attention of history. It was a slek child that evoked Christs cura tive sympathies. It was a child that Christ set in the midst of the squab bling disciples to teach the lesson ol humility. A child decided Waterloo, showing the army of Blucher how they could take a short cut through the fields when if the old road had been followed the Prussian general would have come up too late to save the destinies of Europe. It was a child that decided Gettysburg, he having overheard two Confederate generals in a conversation in which they decided to march for Gettysburg instead of Harrisburg, and, this reported to Governor Curtin, the Federal forces started to meet their opponents at Gettysburg. And to-day the child is to decide all the great battles, make all the laws, settle all the destinies and usher in the world's salvation or destruction. Men, women, nations, all earth and all heaven, be hold the child! Notice also that in this Bible night scene God honored science. Who are the three wise men kneeling before the Divine Infant? Not boor, not igno ramuses, but Caspar, Balthasar and Melchior, men who knew all that was to be known. They were the Isaac Newtons and Herschels and Faradays of their time. Their alchemy was the forerunner of our sublime chemistry, their astrology the mother of our mag nificent astronomy. And when I see these scientists bowing before the beautiful babe I see the prophecy of the time when all the telesopes and microscopes and all the Leyden jars and all the electric batteries and all the observatories and all the univer sities shall bow to Jesus. It is much that way already. Where is the college that does not have morning prayers, thus bowing at the manger? Who have been the greatest physicians? Omit ting the names of the living lest we should be invidious, have we not had among them Christian men like James Y. Simpson and Rush and Valentine Mott and Abercrombie and Abernethy? Who have been our greatest scientists? Joseph Henry, who lived and died in the faith of the gospels, and Agassiz, who, standing with his students among the hills, took otT his hat and said. "Young gentlemen, before we sti dy these rocks let us pray for wisdom to the God who made the rocks.” All geology will yet bow before the Rock of Ages. All botany will yet worship the Rose of Sharon. All astronomy will yet recognize the Star of Bethle hem. Behold also that on that Christmas night God honored motherhood. Two angels on their wings might have brought an infant Savior to Bethle hem without Mary's being there at all. When the villagers on the morn ing of December 26 awoke, by divine arrangement and in some unexpected way the child Jesus might have been found in some comfortable cradle of the village. But no, no! Motherhood 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, Samuel Budgett a good mother, Walter Scott a good mother, Benjamin West a good mother. In a great audience, most of whom were Christians, 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 Titian, 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 Rey nolds, the English artist, in his Ma donna make it an English face? Why did Murillo, the Spanish artist, in his Madonna make it a Spanish face? I never heard, but I think they took their own mothers as the type of Mary, the mother of Christ. The first word a qhild utters is apt to be “Mother!” and the old man in his dying dream calls, "Mother, moth er!” It matters not whether she was brought up in the surroundings of a city and in an affluent home and was dressed appropriately .with reference to the demands of modern life or whether she wore the old time cap and great round spectacles and apron of her own make and knit your socks with her own needles seated by the broad fireplace, with great backlog ablaze, on a winter's night; it mat ters not how many wrinkles crossed and recrossed her face or how much her shoulders stooped with the bur dens of a long life, if you painted a Madonna hers would be the face. What a gentle hand she had when we were sick and what a voice to soothe pain, and was there any' one who could so fill up a room with peace and purity and light? And what a sad day that was when we came home and she could greet us not, for her lips were for ever still. Come back, mother, in these Christmas times and take your old place anil as ten or twenty or fifty years ago come and open the old Bi ble as you used to, read and kneel In the same place where you used to pray and look upon us as of old when you wished us a merry Christmas or a happy New Year. But no! That would not be fair to call you back. You had troubles enough and aches enough and bereavements enough while you were here. Tarry by the throne, mother, till we Join you there, prayers all an swered, and in the eternal homestead of our God we shall again keep Christ mas Jubilee together. But speak from your thrones, all you glorified mothers, and say to all these, your sons and daughters, words of love, words of warning, words of cheer. They need your voice, for they have traveled far and with many a heartbreak since you left them, and you do well to call from the heights of heaven to the val leys of earth. Hail, enthroned ances try! We are coming. Keep a place right beside you at the banquet. Slow footed years! More swiftly run Into the gold of that unsetting sun. Homesick we are for thee, Calm land beyond the sea. Behold also in that first Chlstmas night that Qod honored the fields. Come in, shepherd boys, to Bethlehem, and see the child. "No,” they say; “we are not dressed good enough to come in.” "Yes, you are. Come in.” Sure enough, the storms and the night dew and the brambles have made rough work with their apparel, but none has a better rignt to come In. They were the first to hear the music of that Christmas night. The first announce ment of a Savior’s 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 govern ment who, hearing of it afterward, may have thought that they ought to have had the first news of such a great event, some one dismounting from a swift <amel at their door and knock ing till at some sentinel’s question, “Who comes there?” the great, ones of the palace might have been told of the celestial arrival. No; the shepherds heard the first two bars of the music, the first In the major key and the last in the subdued minor, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men.' Ah, yes, the fields were honored. The old shepherds, wdth plaid and crook, have for the most part van ished, 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 Christmas night, but all up and down the world's history. God has been hon oring the fields. Nearly all the mes siahs of reform and literature and elo quence ard law and benevolence have come from the fields. Washington from the fields. Jefferson from the fields. The presidential martyrs, Garfield and Lincoln and McKinley, from the fields. Henry Clay from the fields. Daniel Webster from the fields. Martin Lu ther from the fields. Before this world is right the overflowing populations of our crowded cities will have to take to the fields. Instead of ten merchants in rivalry as to who shall sell that one appie 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 by the midnight anthem, and he will while the world lasts con tinue to honor the fields. When the shepherd's 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 ax and ox's yoke and sheaf binder’s rake shall surrender to the God who made the country as man made the town. OATHS IN LAST CENTURY. Cuming Done at the Bar and on the Itench. The early part of the nineteenth cen tury was the age of heavy drinking and had language. Gentlemen swore at each other because an oath added emphasis to their assertions. They swore at inferiors because their com mands would not otherwise receive prompt obedience. The chaplain cursed the sailors because it mad© them listen more attentively to his ad monitions. Ladies swore, orally and in their letters. Lord Braxfleld, r famous Scotch judge, offered to a lady at whom he swore because she played badly at whist the sufficient apology that he had mistaken her for his wife. Erskine swore at the bar, and Lord Thurlow swore at the bench. George IV. was always swearing; a profane oath always accompanied this Defendi er of the Faith's expression of ap* proval of the weather, a horse, a din ner, or a drinking bout. His accom plished brothers envied his powers in this field of endeavor, and copied his example. "Society clothed itself with cursing as with a garment.” Vauxhall, then still a fashionable resort, must have been a delectable place, with its feast of curse words and flow of oaths. Other amusements were bull baiting, cock-fighting and prize-fighting. Wil berforce and Sheridan supported a bill in 1802 to abolish bull baiting, which was opposed by Mr. Windham, on the ground that it was ‘‘the first result of a conspiracy of the Jacobins and Methodists to render the people grave and serious.”—London Daily News.

Golden Text.—"While He Blessed Them, He Was Parted from Them, ami Carried l’p Into Heaven—Luke 'll. Cl.” I. "Jesus raised from the Dead. Heneo the Ever-living Messiah Savior.”—Vs. 1-3. 1. "The former treatise." or history,— the Gospel according to Luke,—“deals with the ascension as the close of the earthly life of Jesus; It Is there the final sequel of the resurrection;" but in the Acta "the ascension is contemplated as the opening of the heavenly life" (Ren dall), as the beginning of the founding and development of Christ's church, the visible kingdom of heaven. "O Theo philus." A proper name, not uncommon among the Greeks and the Jews. In the Gospel Luke calls him "most excellent" (Kratlste), a title which was "peculiar ly appropriated to Romans holding high office, and actually became, during the second century, a technical title to de note equestrian rank."—Professor Knowl Ing. The title Is applied In the Acts to Felix (23:26), and to Festus (26:25). It refers to the patrician order of knights. II. "The Promise of Power."—Vs. 4-8. The next essential after the King was a power by which the kingdom could be established, gain adherents, transform sinful men Into holy citizens of the king dom, overcome all obstacles, and change the whole world into a kingdom of God such us is pictured In the last chapters of the Bible. The work was one of In conceivable magnitude and difficulty. A few unlearned men, without rank, or learning, or wealth, or territory, or army, were to conquer the world; con quer lust, passion, prejudices, selfishness, customs, fashions, wrought Into the very texture of society; conquer the victor ious Roman empire that Itself had sub dued the world. It was the height of absurdity, of impossibility, except by di vine power working through these few disciples. III. The Great Commission.— \ ». Hav ing an ever-living King, and the prom ise of the necessary power, the next step was un authoritative commission, a w'ork committed to them by divine au thority. That work was to be witnesses that Jesus was the Messiah, the expect ed Savior and Deliverer. “Ye shall bo witnesses unto me." The words, which are apparently Identical with those of l.uke 24:4S, strike the keynote of the whole book, which Is the history of the way and the places In which the com mission was carried out. Witnesses. Greek (murtures), from which our word ■‘martyrs,’' 1. e., those who bear witness to Jesus Christ by suffering and dying for him. The gospel Is built upon facts, not theories. The Gospels are the sum mary of the witness of the apostles. They wi re written many years after the apos tles began to preach, and are the story that had been told many hundreds of times by these witnesses. And still the power of preaching and of teaching Is not in arguing, but In witnessing. In de claring the truths known and tested by experience. Witnesses unto me. Unto Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, fore told In the Old Testament, that he was to hrlng In all those glorious visions and descriptions which the prophets had de clared would come to pass, only In a dif ferent way from the expectations of many of the people, that he was the deliverer of the people front their sins, that he was the messenger from God bringing the good news of his love and care and fatherhood. The. places named express the order in which the witness should be borne, and corresponds to the great divisions of the book. IV. The Ascended Lord.—V. We next come to the connecting link be tween the earthly and the heavenly life of Jesus. The same Jesus who lived and taught tin earth now rules in glory and power In Heaven over his Earthly Kingdom. 9. “While they beheld." That they might have clear proof of his as cension, to assure them that there was no deception. He was in the act of blessing them when he was taken up (Luke 24:51). “A cloud received him out of their sight." (Compare Matt. 17:5; Luke 9:34.) Perhaps It was like the “fiery, cloudy pillar,” the symbols of God that led the Israelites through the wil derness, or Elijah's storm chariot, or the bright cloud of glory which overshad owed him on the Mount of Transfigura tion It was at this time, doubtless, that the great change came over his body described In 1 Cor. 15:51-53. For such a change Is signified by his appearance as John saw him (Rev. 1: 12-1(1). V. The Promised Return.—Vs. 10, 11. This was the assurance that Jesus was to be with his people as he had promised, and would carry out his work to com plete success. 10. "And while they looked stedfast ly.“ Looked stedfastly is one word In the Greek and "denotes a fixed, stedfast, protracted gaze.” It "is frequently em ployed by medical writers to denote a peculiar, fixed look. See Hobart, Med ical Language of St. Luke, p. 76.”—Know ling. "As he went." “As he was going." "The present tense denotes that the cloud was still visible for a considerable time, as If carrying their eyes and their hearts with him to heaven.”—Knowling. They gazed with intense eagerness, question ing what it all meant. "Behold.” Im plying suddenness. “Two men." Angels in the form of men. (Compare Matt. 28: 2-5 with Luke 24:4.) “In white apparel.” No doubt, like the angel in Matt. 28:3, "his raiment white us snow,” and "In shining garments” (Luke 24:4). The bril liant whiteness showed their pure nature and the bright home whence they came. As his advent and his resurrection, so his return to heaven was accompanied by ministering angels. VI. "Waiting for the Promise.”—Vs. 12 14. 12. "Returned they unto Jerusalem.” Where they had been commanded to re main; the best place for th< manifesta tion of the Spirit and the fulfillment of the promise. A sabbath day’s Journey. About two thousand cubits, or three fourths of a mile, according to one in terpretation of Num. 35:5 and Josh 3.4. The air line distance from the eaBtern gate of the city to the traditional site of the ascension Is twenty-two hundred and fifty feet, but the path is linger. A«< we are told that Bethany was lif teen furlongs from Jerusalem (John 11:18) the place of the ascension must have been In the very outskirts of the town. Itlrtliflay Privilege.
