Ilis Lowly Birthplace. Behold, in tne first place, th.it on the first night of Christ's lire God honored tho brute creation. You can not get into that BUhlehein barn without going past the camels, the mules, the dogn, the oxen. The brutes or that stable heard the first cry ot the infant Lord Some of the old painteis represent the oxen and camels kneeling that night before the new-born babe And well might they kt eel! Hac jou ever thought that Chribt came, among other things, to alleviate the sufferings of the unite crea tion? Was it not appropriate that He should, duimg the first few dajs and nights ofHlshfeon eaith.lMJSunoi'ndedb'. tiie dumb beasts, whose moan and plaint and bellowing hae for ages been a prajer to God for the arresting of their tortures and the righting or their wrongs? It did not merelj "happen so" that the unintelligent creatures of God should li ive been tluit night in close neighbor hood. Not. t kennel m all the centuries, rot a bird's nest, not a worn out horse on tow -path, not a herd rree7mg in the poorlj built cowpen, not a freight car in sum ncr time bringing the beees to nmrk t with jut water through a thousand miles of agony, not a surgeon's loom w ltnessing the strug gles of fox or rabbit or pigeon or dog in the horrors of MMsc-ction, but lias an inter et in the fact that Christ was born in a stable, surrounded bj brutes. He remem bers that night, and the prajer He beard in their pitiful moan lie will answer in the pumshmeiitof those w ho maltreat the dumb brutes.. Their Suiionr, Too. Tliej surelv hae as much right in this world as we lmc. In the first chapter of Genesis jou ma see that Diet were placed on the earth beioroman was the fish and fow 1 created the fifth daj and the quadrupeds the moiiung of the sixth daj and man not until the afternoon of that daj. The whale, the eagl"; the lion, and all the lesser cieatures or their kind were pred ecessors of the human lamily. They ha-e the world bj right of pos session. Thoj hae also paid rent for the places tliej occupied. What an armj of de'lense all oer the land are the faithful watchdogs. And who can tell what the w o'ld owes to the horse and camel and ox for transposition? And robin and lark haie.bj thecantatas with which thej'huve filled orchard and forest, more than paid for the few grains they hae picked up for their sustenance.

IT SERVES A SECOND TIME Stone "Was the Same Used in tho Edifice Which "Was Horned New Building to He Elizabethan in Stjle anil an Ornament to Silver Springs Parish. The corner-stone of Grace Church of Sil ver Springs parish waR laid jestcrdaj aft ernoon with brief but imposing ceremonies, at which Bishop Henry Y. batterlee offi ciated. Despite the frostj air a goodly crowd assembleel about the hair completed ,cdifice and participated in the singing and prayer service. The bibhop wa assisted in the exertlsei by Rev. J. E. C. Smeedes, rector of the parish; Rev. Nellson Falls and Rev. H. Allen Griffith. Promptlj at 3.30 o'clock, the hour set Tor the beginning of the serv ices, the ministerial partj moved from tho parish house across the wav and Joined the crowd about the stone. It was the first corner-stone Iajmg In the new diocese at which Bishop Batterlee has officiated. Ihe bishop and clergj were clad in the long black and white robes of thur re spective rank and the scene, sit as it was on theedgeor a small forest, wasan impres sive one. There was the usual episcopal service of hjmn singing and prajer and d few appropriate expressions were deliveied bj Bishop Satterlee. He dwelt tineflj upon the connection of the event with St. John's daj-, and spoke seasonably of that prominent saint of the church. He urged the congregation to make the new house a plate of prajer, and said tliat the daj- should come when its doors would be open daj aud night for constant worship.- Through such means eternal blessing would come upon the parish. Historic Corner-Stone. Rev . Mr Smti des spoke briefly upon the history of the church. The corner-stone that was relaid jesterday, he said, was the same that was put in place for the old edifiie In 1800. Bishop Whittington of ficiited upon that occasion. The old church was destrojed by fire June o, last. On that daj a young l.adj- of the church accidentally knocked over a lamp and nearlj lost her life. The corner-stone went unsi tided through the conflagration. The stone for the present edifice has been rediessed, and upon its face is carved the date "189b." It is a plum, white sandstone, and lies at the northwest comer of the edifice. Mr. Smeedes also recounted the list of articles that were placed within the tin box that fitted into the receptacle of the stone. The. list included a Bible, the praver book ot the Episcopal Church, a copj of the "3pirit of Missions'' for De cember, the daily papers of Washington, a few coins and a full account of tiie ecrcies of the daj, including the names of the rector, the warden and the vestrj men of the parish. Bishop Satterlee ofrcred prajer as the capstone was put in pcsition, and a short service or song and piajer closed the exercises Mr Trank Fldler is the onlj warden of the parish at the present time. Thevestrj men are: E. W. Birgfeld, Blair Lee, C. P Jones, C H Lawrence, George G. Gettj, Arthur E Donnell.R T. Raj, and Enos C. Kejs Almost all ot these officials were present at the ceremonies. Its location. Grice Church is situated over a mile north or Silver Springs, and is in the midst of one of the prettiest bits of land scape in the vicinity of Washington The edifice vv ill probably be completed sometime before the spring months are readied. In spite ot the fact that the corner-stone was put In position jesterdaj the work on the house is well ttnderwaj. It will be a pretty frame chapel of Elizabethan and Gothic architecture.

BELT PLANTING PROFITABLE. Coii'siil Moiinnhnn Thinks, it Should He Followed in This Cemntiy. The extent of the German beet sugar m dustrj is snown by Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, who, in a report to the State Department, sijs 958, 12S tons were ex ported in the past fiscal jear.and the home consumption wasestimatedat6G8,8G0toiiai the latter being an increase over the prev ious jear of 116,165 tons '1 ho consul sajs the industrv made huge strides in n dozen jears with intelligent governmental aid, but Its manufacturers were- energetic as well. He thinks particularly in Ohio and Nebraska beet planting should take tl e place in part of the raising of wheat ar.d grain where competition is sharper, and that the United States ought to supplj its own sugar This he thinks can be accom plished with governmental as well as popular encouragement. GET FLESH. Get Sti en Rth, Vigor, Clear Complex ion and Good Digestion, Not by Patent iledichie, Hut in Natute'-. Own Way. Any honest phjsician will tell jou that there is but one waj to get increased riesh; all the patent medicines and cod liver oils to the contrarj notwithstanding. Naturehas but one waj- to increase flesh, strength and vigor of mind and bodj, and tlt.tt is through the stomach by wholesome food well digested. There is no reason or common sense in any other method what ever. People are thin, run down, nervous, pale and sliakj in their nerves sunplj because their stomachs are weak. They muj-not think thej have dvspepsta, but the fact remains that thej do not eat enough food or what they eat is not quicklj andproperlj digested as it should be. Dr. Harlandson sajs the reason is be cause the stomach lacks certain digestive acids and peptones, and deficient secretion of gahtrlc Juice. N iture's remedy in such cases is to supplj vv hat the weak stomach lacks. There are sev era! good preparations which will do this, but none so readily as Stuart's Djspepsia 1 ablets, which are designed especiallj for all stomach troubles, and which cure all di gestive weakness on the common sense plan of ruriiibhing the digestiv e principles w hich the stomach lacks. Stuart's D j spepsia Tablets give pcrrect digestion. First effect is to increase the ap petite, abdincreased vigor, added flesh, pure blood and strength of nerve and muscle is Hieperfectlj natural result. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest tonic know nandwillcureany lormof stom ach trouble except cancer of the stomach.

'Iheie Is Nothing in the Hihle to Justify This Form of Amusement. "Shall Christians Dance?" was the sub ject of an interesting discourse last even ing at lev land M. E Church, by the pastor, Rev. S. M. Hartsock. The congregation was, in a miasure, prepared for the sermon by the rehg'ous ser vice which preceded. During the prajer by Rev. J. Lewis Hartsock, son of the pastor, the protection of the Almighty wasinvoked that the congregation might by made mind ful of His commands and ever follow in the path of the righteous, studiou-lj- avoid ing all things unclean. The music, too, was iu a way preparatory to the subject, for Just before the minister began his dis course tho choir sang with much eff ct, "Let wordlj- hearts its Joys persue, .t Pas no charms for me." The question, Dr. Hirtsock said, was a riostimportaut one. There are some who endeavor to Justifj their acts by con soling themselves that dancing is spoken of in the Bible, but these, he would say, of thev took the trouble to iuv educate, they would learn that thej- have wronglj con strued the meaning or the word. Others, i" said, justify dancmz on the pie i of lie dlhriilm-ss, claim it lb innocmt, a method of acquirinc gracefulness, .md is necessarj to the Hie and splrt of the social circle. These, he said, are not sufficient r'-isons to justifj- any one in indulging in dainng, even if thej- were true, winch thej are not. "I do not believe," he continued, "fiat grace of carriage is acquired in the d'i;e hall, or tluit it cannot be accomplish d bj otder means Tor I have known manj mn and women of gracerul carriage who .ave never taken a lesson " Dr. Hartsock maintained that da'i""tng lnckeel the true elements of recreatiou and health, because it was alwajs attended bv circumstances directlj- opposed to ihese conditions The dress of the dancers, ihe late hours, the over exertion, the heat and the cold, all go to make dancing a most dangerous pastime Everjbodj- knows the result of a night's dancing headach , depressed spirits and all else that goes to make life a burden while it lasts. Notice, the speaker said, .vhen jour rnends get dangerously ill Thej want some one to praj' with them, bur it is never the dancing, hopping church mem ber who Is sent for It is the praying, sincere Christian who is called . GEIDE 'IO RELIGION. Mr. Pechln lulks on Reason and Faith Before Secular League. The Secular League meeting in Tjikj graphical Temple jesterdaj afternoon was well attended. Dr. W. A Crorfut pre sided, and introduced Mr Maurice Pechin, who delivered an eloquent addre.s on "Reason and Faith." Mr. Pechin spoke in part as follows. Reason is the onlj- reliable guide, the onlj true test by which we can determine the truth or falsitj'of anj religion Every argument in favor of anj religion is an appeal to reason, and, if reason is the final arbiter, whj not acknowledge it as the highest factor in true religion? True faith is based on knowledge De lusions based on superstitions are the verj tneans bv which the producers are robbed. The confidence man and the swindler al wajs want confidence on the part of their vistuns. And the greater this confidence the great r the robberv thej can perpe trate. Blind, unreasoning faith is a curse to the human race. Religions are attempted explanations of the unknown. Science is sjstema tized knowledge It reasons from the known to the unknown, thus widening the eloinain of knowledge. Nature is dual. Lverj thing has its antithesis- Even religion is no exception to the rule- Matenahstic-lound religion has made images and idols to worship as the antithesis or the highest spiritual ideal. An animated and interesting discussion followed, in which Prof, nvland B. Kirk. Dr. E. W. Kirbj-, Dr. Joseph Steiner, Mr. M A. Clancej', and others participated. Rev. Alex Kent, who was present, ex pressed heart j- appreciation nfAlr. Peclun's address and Invited hlin to eleliver it from Ins pulpit next Stindaj-. Mr. Pechin ac cepted the invitation. Next Sundaj afternoon a distinguished speikcr from abroad will address the meeting. Fine for Expectoration.
