A Christmas Pastoral.
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. St Paul
bids you to."lot the elders that rule
well beeounted 'Worthy ofdoublehon-
or, especially they who labor in the
word and doctritio."" Believe me,
yours faithfully, DAVID ItnitONT.

ninety miles farther, and cut down
trees at the•edge of a wood and built
a log house. Then he returned to In-

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.

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

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."
"That does not surprise me," re-
sponded the official. 'Precisely the
same remark' was made to me a few
years ago by a judge of the state of
Illinois."
