WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER, 19, 1853 CHRISTMAS TO THE POOR. We can say to the credit of the churches of Butler, that on Christ- mas eve or Christmas day the poor have always been remembered either by anentertainment to which they were always welcome guests, or to a tree from which some small remem- brance was taken to make glad the youngsters’ hearts ora supper at which they were bountifully feasted. «We have no doubt that these chari ties were more or less abused by those unworthy and for whom the entertainment was not intended, but that will always be the case, no mat- ter how well or carefully it is guard- ed against and should charitable deeds be abandoned because some would be benefited that were not deserving? With the feeling to the churches and Sunday kindest of schools and the utmost respect for the judgment of the man agers, we must say, from read ing the report of the doings at the various churches on next Monday and Tuesday, that this idea seems to be the basis on which they work, for of all the churches in Butler to give entertainments this year the M. E. church (south) alone intends giving a free exhibition to which the poor can come, enjoy themselves and feel indeed that it is Christmas for them as well as for those who have of this world’s goods an abundance We make these suggestions in the most friendly spirit and the very best of motives, and hope they will be given consideration, otherwise it will be a gloomy Christinas for the poor of Butier We call attention to the statement of the Butler National Bank found in another column. This bank is one of the most subsiantial institu tions of the kind in the country. Its © officers are excellent and courteous . gentlemen with whom it is always a pleasure to do business and as suc- cessful financiers, equal to any in the state. They are now located on the northwest corner of the square in the finest and most conveniently arranged building in the state. We are not surprised at the Rec- ord assailing postmaster Duke in the manner it did last week, when the fact is considered that Aus. is already an aspirant for that office, and Mr. Duke’s commission will not expire for some little time to come. There will have to be complaints made and charges filed, etc. It is just a little bit surprising that Mr. Austin would take the lead in this matter, remembering the consid- eration with which the demoerats treated him four years ago. LE ——— The Times is always glad to note the promotion of any young man and especially where by hard labor, eptitude and efficiency he has pecoven himself worthy of promotion. “This and much more can be said of ar young friend, Elmer T. Kipp, who has been elected to the very responsible position of cashier of the Farmer's Bank, a new bank be ng organized in Butler. Mr. Kipp figuring his long stay in Butler has gained the confidence and esteem of all by his industrious and sober hab- its and gentlemanly demeanor. He held a position in the Butler Nation- al Bank, as book-keeper for the Bates Co. National bank for several years, which has made him eminent- ly fitted for the new duties of cash- ier. We congratulate the stock- holders in securing so efficient and worthy a gentleman to conduct the affairs of that institution. Dndley’s party pretended that bems.

Before another issue of the Trwes Christmas will have come and gone, marking another milestone in the , ouward march of civilization from time to eternity. Few indeed pause to consider the full significance of the observance of this day of all the | days in the year, as that on which the Savior of the world was born While the day should be celebrate: with song and rejoicing, we should have devout grateful hearts and re- member to look after our poor and less fortunate brethren as Christ would do were he with us to-day. The following short history of Christmss is taken from Johnson's Cyclopedia: The observance of the 25th day of Deeember, is ascribed to Julius, | bishop of Rome, A. D. 387-352. | The Eastern Church had previously observed the 6th of Jan. in com- memoration both of the baptism and of the birth of Christ. Before the end of the fourth century the East and the West had exchanged festivals, the West adopting Jan. | 6, 1n commemoration of our | i i | Loi baptism, and the East adopting D 25, in commemoration of our Lord’ birth. The exact date of Christ’s birth appears net to have been known to the early Church, and cannot now be determined. That the date was preserved in the pub- lic archives at Rome, though assert- ed by some of the ancient Fathers, } is now not gen As for the year, cri itating towards the year 5 or 4 B. C. Andas for the day, we may be helped toa decision by conside that between the midd ber aud the there ly credited. l opinion is gray- ng le of Decem- middie of February enerally in Palestine an in- g terval of comparatively dry weather, preceded and followed by the and latter rain. Th there have been shepherds on the p Bethlehem watching thei Ss flocks by night. the 25th of Dec. in nearly every part of Christendom. Among the that operated in fixing this period, perhaps the most powerful was that most heathen naiions regarded the winter solstice as the beginning of the renewed life and activity of the powers of nature. The Romans, Celts, and Germans, from the oldest times, celebrated the season with great feasts. At the winter solstice the Germans held their great Yule- feast, and believe that during the twelve nights, from 25th ofDec. to the 6th of Jan. they could trace the personal movements on earth of their great deities. Some of these usages passed over from heathenism to Christianity, and have partly sur- vived to the present day. But the Church sought to banish the deep- rooted heathen element by intro ducing its grand liturgy, besides dramatic representations of the birth of Christ and the first events of his life. Hence the so-called “manger songs” and Christmas Car- ols. Hence also the Christmas tree adorned with lights and other dec- orations, the custom of reciprocal presents and of Christmas meats and dishes. Christmas became a universal festival. In the Roman Church three Christmas masses are usually per- performed—one g midnight, one at daybreak, and one in the morning. The day is also celebrated by the Anglican churches. The Greek and Lutheran churches likewise observe Christmas, but the Presbyterians and the English dissenters reject it in its religious aspect, although in England and the U.S. people of nearly all sects keep it as.a social holiday, on which there is a cessa- tion from all business. The festivi- ities formerly lasted with more or less brilliancy till Candlemas, and with great spirit till Twelfth Day. Christmas is celebrated on causes Col. Joshua La Due of Clinton, is making a gallant race for secretary of the state senate. Col. LaDue was one of the ablest defenders of democratic _ princi- ples in this state during the late yer and thoroughly qualified for the Position that he aspires to.—Monte rose Democrat. campaign.

This department is filled from floor to ceiling with an elegant line of mens’ and boys’ clothing and gents underwear, and you will find their prices at bottom figures. The Trves hopes to see this firm enter the coming year with renewed energy and enterprise and at the end thereof close their books with greater success than they have ever achieved durimg their long residence among us. Saying this much we bid Judge Levyand his accommo- dating clerks a final farewell for the year 1888, and wish them one and all a happy New Year. Order of Publication.
