Sack, doubtless, is tht universal
sentiment it inspires, and the maa
rer and degree of the season's en
joyment depend in great measure
upon the place, the age, character
and relations sustained by the indi
viduals and communities where it
it observed. Parents take delight
in contributing tt the happineaa of
their children, and children look
forward with eager expectation, yea,
with joyful anticipation, to the
anniversary of the birth of our
Savior, who himself was once a
child, and whose miraculous advent
into our world was the harbinger
of peace and goed-will to men. Ws
art told in Holy Writ that that
memorable tvtnt wat to full of
glad tidings to men that tht morn
ing stars sang together and all the
toot of God shouted for joy.
Tbt besutifol custom of observing
Christmas as aholiday is justified by
tht history of nearly nineteen hun
dred years, coo firmed and sanctified
by the practice of the people of all
civilized nations, because of its
hallowed associations and of the
humanizing and generous senti
ment it inepiret.
Tht popular fiction which repre
sents St. Nicholas tht Santa Claut
of tht Dutch at tht mythical
person who on Christmas eve is the
bountiful dispenser of gifta to chil
dren, is well understood. Although
fictitious personality, he is tht
representative ot that sentiment of
love which abides eternal In the
human heart a ten timent especial
ly developed in the hearts of parents
towards their offspring on occasions
which call them forth and his
benefactions, dispensed with a liber,
el hand, meet with grateful, loving
recognition in the sparkling eyes,
bounding hearts and ringing voices
of tht happy recipient! of hit
munificent gifts.
On Christmas tvt the pretence
of this ubiquitous friend of children
will be manifested not only in
Liberty, but in every place through'
out the civilized world where an
empty stocking shall be bung or a
Christmas tree with itt rich and
tempting fruit be found. Extreme
ly sensitive and thy, he will not
visit tht abodet of those where his
presence has not been invoked by
loving parents and obedient chil
dren. All such places, unhallowed
by parental affection and filial de
votion, he studiously avoids and
leavts there no token of hit friendly
presence.
And now, after a whole year's
round of business, which bat en
grotstd our though tt and challenged
our efforts, we art brought to tht
clost of anothtr of earth's annual
revolutions a season wnen our
work is done, when the body, wesry
with toil, and soul, burdened with
care, should find relaxation and
rest. Now, when the ytar'a barvestt
havt bttn garnered, and faith has
become substance, and hope has
ripened into fruition, all care and
anxiety should be dismissed snd
forgotten in the feeling inspired by
the occasion. Our hearts thould
grow warm and generous, and our
human nature, softened and tub-
dued by a sense of becoming rever
ence for the all-wise and beneficent
Ruler of the Universe, should be
brought into closer touch and sym
pathy with our fellow men. Realir
ing our absolute dependence on the
Great Giver of all good, we should
in a spirit of grateful recognition
contribute at much at we can to tht
hsppiness of those with whom we
are associated in life, as well ai to
tht necessities of those who hsve
bttn less fsvored than ourselves.
"Who feelt for other" woes,

To all the readen of The Herald
we extend a cordial greeting, ac
companied with the wish of a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year.

School In this village baa enjoyeu i
t. . .1. r,f
since lis existence uie hjiu
being the best in
ht in the State. All
present there are twenty-three lads
under suspension, iney are me
sons of the lesding residents of the
villsge. , Tbe question ss to the
justness of their suspension is one
that has placed the local ooara ana
the people of the village at swords'
points. Last Wednesday evening
Prof. Bardeen delivered a lecture.
Prof. Bardeen is not a favorite with
the students, ss it has been suggest
ed to them that they might derive
some benefit by registering with
his sgency as applicants as school
teachers. After the lecture on
Tuesday evening the students form
ed on the campus and determined
that those who had been favored as
escorts of lady students from tbe
lecture should not enjoy t privilege
of which tbey hsd been deprived.
They formed themselves into t
body and, two by two, marched
down Church street. On the way
down they encountered one of their
brother members who was seeing a
lady attendant of theNormal school
home. Tbey surrounded them,
snd calling the male student to one
side, asked whose company he pre
ferred, the lady's or theirs. Before
he had a chance to answer he was
picked up bodily and hurled over
the fence. On the other side of
the fence he wss received by other
students, who repested the question
whether he would join their ranks
or continue his wsy home with the
lady. In the meantime the lady
had taken flight. Laughing and
shouting the students continued on
their way to the boarding houses
where they knew lady students
boarded who had been escorted
home by the gentlemen students.
Six of these houses were visited,
and in each instance wbert a lady
student was entertaining one of the
opposite sex, tbe latter was called
out, tossed over a fence and re
quested to join the hazers. Thus it
went on all the evening, and it was
not until midnight that the last of
the students who had escorted lady
students home had been found
Those engaged in this disgraceful
work have all been suspended.
Christian Xirderen to be Punish'
ed.
Sbangtui, Dec. 11. Li Hung
Chang has ordered punishment of
all who were engaged in the
massacre of the native Christians
at Tien Tsin, and several rioters
have been captured and killed, the
Pekin government having granted
leave for immediate beheading in
all such cases. Europeans are con
vinced that the anti-Christian riots
are caused in many, if not all cases,
by the hatred which the npper class
Chinese bear toward tbe foreigners,
thit hatred being grounded on
jealousy of foreign intelligence and
influence. The literati are the
promoters of the disturbance, by
their appeals to the ignorance of
the people with stories about babies
being killed and their eyes and
their ears snd lungs taken out for
medicine.
Origin of Sunday-Schools.
Globe-Democrat: Sunday-schools
are probably as old as Christianity
for Eusebiut ssyi that tbe Apostle
John regularly taught theScriptures
and the doctrines of the Church to
young men and children on the
Sabbath day. It is quite likely
that, to a limited extent at least,
Sunday instruction of children and
youth was kept up throughout the
Middle Ages; but the greatest im
pulse given tbt Sunday-schools
was by the famous Cardinal Borro
meo, who, in Milan in 1580, organ
ized a system of Sunday instruction
and put numerous schools into
operation.
About the middle of the next
century Rev. Joseph Alleine estab
lished 8unday-schools in England
and between the years 1700 and
1763 scores of Sunday-schools were
established in various parts of Eng
land and Scotland by Rev. David
Blair and Rev. Theophilus Lind
sey. Robert Raiket of Gloucester
has usually enjoyed the credit of
beingthefounderofSunday-schools,
