The Christmas pastoral to the Dio- eese ef Huron has been isslied by Bishop Williams and is as follows': Dear Brethern,-eChristinas is once more at hand, with all its good news to men and joy to the world. Is it any marvel that the season is pre- eminently a season of joy and glad- ness ? Christmas bids us lift up our eyes to heaven and behold what love the Etetnal Father hath • towards: His children on earth ; for He "so loved the world that," itt order. to save us from missing the bles- ednese for which we Were created, He sent His only be- gotten Son, "to take our nature up - en Him and at this time to be born of a pure virgin."Ori the other hand Christmas bids us to io'ok upon man and consider how noble in reason, bow infinite in faculty, ourhuman stature must be when the Son of ,God could make it ' His home and dwell in it. "The Word was God," "the word was made flesh," that is,. pere fectly human, and "dwelt among us." Christmas, therdfore, is a rev- elation, a two -fold revelation : It is at once a revelation of the Father's love and of the possible greatness of man." But let never forget tliat every revelation impliesa summons- a call and the two -fold revelation of Christ-. Mas .has. a two -fold calla. tall to ntod for His 'great love, and a call to higher and nobler endeavor. Let. us show our gratitude by words of praise and byloving deeds to . our fellow -men ; and let us resolve anew, with God's help, to Hee in the. light of the, . vision of Christinas,tO claim our place in Christ pi chadron of God and inheritors ,of the ,kingdom of heaven. Only in Christ ca.n.we attain the high , and glorious destiny of which we arc capable and for which we were created, For Chriet has said "Apart from Me ye can do nothing," But to as many as re- ceive Him, to Mierri .1,.e gives the rieht to become sons of' God, even th.em that • believe on His name. Let us, thereferee"walk worthyof the voca- tion wherewith" we. "are called." As useal in this diocese the offer- ings of the people on Christmas Day will be given to the clergy.

An Iroquois .Seciety In Honor of Mys- terious People. According to the present Iroquois version this earth* was created by Hawen-i-yu before mortal Man was made. While this creator was admir- ing his work a monstrous head with flaring eyes and flowing hair drifted ento -new. "What are you doing on my earth?" cried the monster. 'It is not yours, but mine," retorted. Ila-wen-i-yu. "You lie i" was the reply. "I have lived here since the beginning of the world!" "But I made the world!" cried Ha.. wen -i -ye, 'Trove it," said the monster, and to demonstrate his own power he beckoned to a mountain to approach. It moved up and took a position near- by. Now Ha -wend -1-u asked the monster to turn aside for a moment, and at the same instant commanded the mountain to approach so swiftly that it struck , the, side of the monster's face and twisted the features awry; giving it the expression of a modern false face. At this display of myster- ious power the monster acknowledged He-wen-i-yu's superiority and begged for his life and that of his people. This was finally granted upon the condition. that the falae-face • people should live forever at the ends of the earth, where they would be unseea. of men. In return for the permission they would aid mankind in curing the sick upon the proviso that the latter kept their memory sacred, The Iroquois have a falee-face so- ciety •in honor 'of tlaose mysterious people at the ends of the earth, and every New Year, they bold . a dance for them.

Western Americans, of everything geographical; historical, And political except those things which pertain to the United States is .proverbial, although conditions are improving somewhat of late years when there has. been a large summer influx.

It may have been William Allen Whit, who thinks that St. Mark's Venice, ' looks like a junk -shop, but the de- ponent who is a prominent railroad official sayeth not. He was told that the general eieetions were on. "Why," said he in surprise, "I did not know you had elections. I thought all your officials were appointed fret(' England."
