The church was handsomely decorated witlwflowers and foliage. On cither side of the altar were large vases of cut flowers, ontho left a great brush of fragrant vlossoms, throtgh which arose a number of stately calla lilids, On the right was a large urn filled with white and red rose buds hanging from long slender stems and surmounted by @ group of white and purple hlies. The music was an espec feature of the servico and was well appreci- ated by the large audience. It consisted of agolo by Miss Kate T duct by Mrs, henuan and Mrs, Evans, duet by Mrs. Shennan and Miss Palmer und a Christmas anthem by the chorus choir. The pastor, the Rev. Dr. Phelps, based his arguments to show that the birth. of Christ ‘was a historic fact, upon the tenth verse of the second chapter of Luke: **And the angel said unto them fear not for, behold 1 bring you good tickiags of great joy, which shall be 10 1l people,” The evening discourso was upon the same theme and was founded upon Luke 24. “Aud beginuing at Moses and the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself," ; This morning I tried to make the birth of Jesus Christ the Son of God into this world seem a real historic fact, and to catch some of the instructive thoughts that start from the bible story of His birth, that we might cherish them at this Christmas time. I de- wivo this eveuing to spoa of the promises that were made boforeband of His coming, and the wondur(ul,)rnpurullmu forit. May the Lord. Himself do for us asthe text tells us Ho did for those two disciples on their way to Emmaus, May also the Holy Spirit, under whose inspiration the bible was written, make it clear to us, as we study it. ‘There is o golden thread running through the old testameut, on which, if we grasp it, we will fiud its importunt truths are grouped} and by the aid of which the meaning of the whole book uoravels to our vi That golden thread Iwould siezo and use, jusy now. It has been almost two thousand years since Christ was born, yet His coming was & theme of prophecy more than twice as long a8 it has been of history. The predictions were of different kinds. Some of them were by types and some by prophecies, A typo was a prediction bv means of something seen or donej & prophecy wus by something writ- ten or spolkoen, “The types of Christ were of two kinds; personal and unpersonal. The persons wers Adam, Abel, Noah, Melchizedek, 1saac, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jonah un porhaps others, ‘The impersonal types were the ark, the manna, the smitien rock, the brazen serpent, the paschal lamb, und other aud perhaps the Shekiuab, and yet other things, ‘The types and prophecies assisted each other te give sud preserve the Met dea, aud to teach, through those long and dark oges, of His coming, kiugdow, character, and work, ‘The Messanic predictions were not all given at once. Lift the lid of your bible and you will find them scattered all along, from Geneals to Malachy, here one, there avother, and yondor a group, The speaker then first rapidly sketched what was predicted of the Messiah. He then took up several of the predictions in particular, to show how dis- tinct and definite thsy were, and how Joar- vellously thoy had been fuitilled; as e. g, the line of His decent, the time of His coming, the place of His birth sud work, and the character He was to bear, and the nature of his ministry. He then, secondly, developed the prepa tions for His comwng. The Creator took wmililous of yoars in preparing the earth to be the abode of mau; 80 He took a loug period, you uothing like as long, to prepare the world for the coming of its Redesmer; pam ely, four thousand years, He spoke of the gradual unfolding of the plan of re- demption all through tue old testament, then of the intellectual and moral condition of both the Jewish and anlllo worlds, in preparation for the new dispensation of the diviue religion; the necessities of mankind calling loualy for it; ana yet such as to put it 1o the very severest possible Lests, to ugow whether it was of God sud whether He bad prepared a place for it on the earth, He spoke of the spreading abroad, both by cul- ture and conquest, of the Greek languave, 80 emiuently fitted to be the roceptacie of the new revelations; of the unifying of tho world in the Great Roman empire, the inter- arse thus established between the the universal peace from war which prevailed, tho scattoring abroad of tho Jows into all the chief business centers of the day with their knowledge of the true God and with their expectation of the coming of their great Messiauie prince, All this, and much more, was the wonderful preparation of the world in the hands of its Creator for the coming of its Redeemer, At length, “in the fullness of time,” Ho came, the virgin's son, the stat of Jacob, the shepnerd of Isradl, the Messiah of God, the desire of il nations, tho Saviour of man= kind.

Love is Loyal Even Among the Ked- skins. Sacramento Pass and *‘The Cedars became famous many yeurs ago as tho scene of one of the most sanguinary bat- tles ever fought by whites and rads among the mountains. It is yet the boast of the whites that there were a great many “‘good Indians” made that day, says a Salt Lake City letter to the New York Post. As a result of that massacve in part, and iu part as the result of the eontin- ual inflow of whites to the gold fields, the tribes that w. then strong in the mountains of Nevada and California long ago broke up into bands and rem- nants, most of which Lkeep up their traditional exclusiveness as to customs, even while they mingle as people. For instance, they will not imarry into their own bands, but in the old savage they still keep alive the custom of “‘capture”---that is, when one of the men wants o wife or squaw he steals her from some other band between which aud himself there is no blood relation- ship. The following sketeh grows out of my observations among people who practiced that old-fashioned and h ardous method of wooing & woman who was or who might be the wife of some other man. A great placer mine near Osceola, Nev., became well known years ago as one of the most valuable surface mines in the world. It has never been thor- oughly worked, for lack of suflicient water-power to teavr the hills into swim- ming sand; butat the present time its owners are completing a sixteen-milo flume that, with what water they have been using, will enable them almost to wash Nevada iuto vhe Pacific, My father being largely interested in the mine, it was natural that I should want to visit it, espocially after listening to tho stories that came from time to time of the wonderful gold nuggets found thero, ome of which weighed five pounds. My sister's husband, a mining engineer of good repute in this land of mineral wealth, was engaged st the mine for some time. He sent for his family, and my opportunity came. I went, [ saw, but I did not want to con- quer. It was enough for me to make myself useful, as sisters-in-law do where thiere is u growing family. Besides I am naturally modest and indifferent to the attractions of the world. If I should become a despised old maid, it would vot worry me for a moment. The fact is there is not much in the mountain country that is worth conquering. I shall never forget our arrvival in the city of Osceola. It wasin the afternoon of & hot July Sunday, and the sun shone as it can shine only through that dry mountain air. We had been three days crossing the great American descrt. Over a hundred miles we had traveled through sage orush, cactuses, and dry, hot, glaring sand., Not a drop of water on the level waste, not a cloud in the sky, not a bird or a beast, not even a homely, hopping jack-rabbit across our lonely way. It was therefore a joyful sight to us, and especially to the chil- dren, when at last we drew near enough to the mountains to distinguish trees from rocks, to see the great wide- winged eagles wheeling lazily in the air,and to catch the outlines of the tall and slender trees of smoke that grew steaight from the village chim- noys into the motionless sky, until it seemed as if their folinge lost itsell in some upper world. Our house (we called it “*house” in an attempt to convince ourselves that we were &till among civilized scenes) lay at the end of “main” street. There was not the slightest need of designat- ing the streev as **Main,” because there was no other street in the ‘‘city,” but the Osceola people were quite Ameri- can and thoroughly western, and hence they must enjoy the satisfaction ot having a great city on paper whether there should ever be one there in fact or pot. For a wonder even though it was Sunday, the men were not at work when we arvived, and as our caravan rattled through the street the whole town was out of doors Lo see us. ‘We had the honor of being the flrst white women they had scen for years, and ‘‘the boys” stared at us as if indeed they never before hud seen a white woman, although I will not vouch that, at the end of such a jluul'nc,\', our com- plexions were not perhaps as much sug- gestive of red asof white people, There were groups of men squatted on the ground all down the street play- ing cavds, gambling., Ugly-featured men were carrying drinks among them and collecting their share of the games. Hogs, young and old, were nosing about the gamblers, rubbing their dirvyy sides ogainst human backs that were proba- bly no cleaner than their own. Sand- wiched among the wnite miners were numerous *Serub” Indians, whose dead~ black hair, dirty faces, pudgy bodios and faded, old,” worn-out and cast-off white folks’ clothing made them, as a whole, an unautractive featvre of the wild and bristly scene. We were searcely in our ‘“house” before the reds began to visit us, bogging for clothes, beeds, tobacco, an in a very fow instances asking for work, As we had not undergone the hardship of & journey to Osceola to labor while our friends and relatives OMAHA DAILY BEB¥ MONDAY, DECEMBER “bossed things,"wo were propared to make vee of all the help we could get. If gold nuggets 'would only procurs ~‘h.fp" in Oscoolng.we wore determined to have it. We soon learned that all wo could get was. I, the poor Indian, but we selected tle best of him and got on very well, Prominent among theso reds who became familiar about our home wero “Spot,” “Indian George.” Bessie,” “Injin Charloy,” “and “hrist.” Spot: was like most of his brothren, a lnzy fellowand exceedingly Ain. Georgo was an artist, Six foet three inches in hoight, straight as o Norway pine,broad-shouldered as Atlns, clean-faced, smooth-skinned,with shiny black hair, low-crowned, wide-rimmed hat neatly trimmed with beautiful bead-braid made by himself, always sporting a spotless whito linen sbirt, moceasing decorated with dyed quills of the fretful porcupine, leggings to match and over all n long linon duster, also serupulously elean, rolled well down to show tne shirt front, but securely but- toned from waist to knees—he wasa veritabie Lust of the Mohicans in his manly bearing and as good natured as n t boy. Bessie was a complete countor- rt of George, and she was a squaw whom George had stolen from a man another band. Bessio was evide glad that she had been stolen, She young and as protty nsa very fat, round- acod, black-haived, large-oyed, 3 skinned squaw could be, and she was, like George, a child in most of what enters into life for mon and women who have reached maturity within the con- fines of civilization. We otten employed Bessio in house, and had awmple opportunity to study her. What amused us was the loveriike relationship that always scemed 1o oxist between those two somi-savages. When Bessie came to the house, George always accompanied her. He would wait “at the door, as SUIT and dignitied as & queen’s footman, until Bessio should come to him. 1f she remainod to work, hé would saunter off, turning to wave a good-by us gr: fully as any trained bean. Neither of theim could read a word, and yet both of them enjoyed looking at pictures as heartily as ever white child did. We discovered this one day on secing Bessid examining littlo Clara’s block alphabe One block had a ture of an Indian, Finding that, Bessie ran vith it to George, full of childish de- light. They stud that picture for a long time, as if trying to understund how that Indian ecould have been put into the block. We had a number of old pictorial papers, and George and Bessie spent hours and whole afte noons sitting upon the earth-bank that wos piled around tho house to keep out the cold in winter, looking at those pictures. Now they would be nudging each other with elbows; again the, would be kicking their ankles togeth sideways, laughing and “k-k-k-ing” just like two loving, happy children without a care or cloudin or over their lives. harley was ‘“heap mean Injin,” ns the sequel will show. “Christ” was a little, old, wrinkled, gray-headed fol- low whose cropped hair siood stiff and straight from its roots in every direc- tion, giving him the appearance of irate hedgehog in the pr enemy. But he was an *“hovest Inj neverthless. We had not been long in Osceola be- fore Spot made up his mind to steal a squaw from a sick Indian of a band some seventy miles uwhy. He talked to us freely of the project, and said he would show us *‘how Injin git’im wife.” He shot an eagle, decorated himself with its feathers, and came to show us how handsome lie was in his wooing cos- tume. Wo told him that perhaps the other Tndian might object to having his wifo stolen. Spot smiled. [is vanity would not permit a suspicion of failure, He was almost white in this respect, Alluding to the other Indian, he would ay: ‘‘Him sick Injin. Him heap sick Injin. Me no trubble get him squaw. Me show you n week how Injin bring him wife home.” He borrowed a pony and started, the boys cheering him away. In a few days ho returned without the squaw, anfl a move foolish-looking, bedraggled, shawmefaced man never wasscen. His eagle feathers weve broken; he had been in a river or pond somewhere; his face was m'rn!t:lm& and cut, and alto- gether he was the sorriest specimen of unsuccessful lover I had ever seen. He would never tell us why he did not get the squaw, and whenuver a question was asked about it he would go away immediately. But we never lacked for amusing ill- ustrations of Indian love-making as long as George and Bessio were there, It was genuine, too. George had stolen another mun’s wife, but neither the thief uor the stolen property saw anything wrong in that. It was their way of doing things, had been prac ticed for ages by their ancestors, und was right—to them. These twain were always in their honeymoon. But one day a “‘teader”—that i8, some fellow drawing whisky, guns and am- munition about the country, robbing and degrading the 1gnorant Indiani came to the village, and in a few hours the reds were all deunk, men and women alike, with the exception of “Christ,” if we can trust his word. We could hear the reds yelling outside the village all through the evening, but us they never had shown auny disposition to be ugly with the whites, we felt no aiarm. retired early, but my sister and her husband sat up talking until near midnight, Soon after they had retired, and before Mr. Rivers had fallen asleep, he heard some person treading heavily across the floor of the outer room, Thought of the Indiang was first in his mind, and he sprang out of bed to fasten the door, but as he reachea it the door was pushea open and an Indian wotnfn, as he could seo by the dim lignt, staggered into the room and up to the bed where my sister lay half-asleep, byuf.tonfusedly thinking that I was ill and had risen to get some- thing. Calling my name, she reached up her hand and Iaifl it, as she thought, on my head, but it dropped into a fright- ful wound from which the warm blood was flowing so fast that it vandown her arm and into the bed, She screamed, of course, and Mr, Rivers,unable to strike a light, tore away.the window curtain and a flood of moenlight poured in, re- vealing poor Bessie almost fainting from loss of hload, and stained and soaked in it from head to feet. Toall our inquiries as fo what had happened to her, she could only reply: *“‘George did um, George want kill ne. George did u orge did'um,” The wounded eature Kept repeating that as if the thought were more painful than the terrible gashes upon her head. We gave her arnica and water to drink,and bathed her head, and did all in our power to make her comfortable, I was arranging » shakedown for her on the floor when a neighbor hurried in to tell us that the Indians were moving and there was something wrong among them. When he learned about Bessie, he said at once that we must hurry her out of the house, because they "were évidently seurching for her, api would murder us if they found that we were trying to hade her. My sister pro- teste against the cruelty of turning the half-breed squaw out of doors, but her husbhand declared his aversion tolosing bis scalp, and said that she must go, The yelling of the drunken Indiaus came nearer tho 23, 1889 and nearer, and sister finally told Bessie that she would have to go. She refused ~“Me not go!” The maen had to lead her out of the house, and, when she saw she could not remain, she turnod upon Mr. Rivers, with a scowl of unut- terable late, flung the cup of nrnica in his face, and, without a word, moved away. Soon the Indians came howling for Bessie, We convinced them that she was not there, and they left, much to our satisfaction. Next morning George eame up, spruce and jaunty as usual. “Morning, w Bessie **Bessie is not he *Yos, misses, Bo: know Bessio como he me Bessie como here, Bessie.” YGeorge,” safd my sister, in her most impressive Indian-English, “George, are you not much heap shamed yourselt hurt Bessie? What for you cut poor Bossie? She come last night. She say George try Kill her. She go way, we dou’t. know where, George, you much bad Injin, You must never come this house more.” While sister was delivering this ad- dress, in which I thought sho was “blowing off” the indignation she still felt beeanse she had been ¢ ed to turn the wounded squaw away, Goorge’s faco was a study. When she finished he exclaimed with undisguised but digni fied wonderment *‘Me hurt Bess Me cut Bessie! Me try kill Bessiel Me no hurt one little haiv that girl. Mo love Boessie, Me come now take Bessio to big medicine man.” In his drunken stupor he had not known of Bessie’s condition, and only learned of it in thg worning from ‘hrist,” who told him that she had come to onr house. When he reahized that she wus not there, he turned away as if his heart was breaking, and if ev stoical Indian was known to sob, George certamly did so as he told us he would *4go tind poor Bessie.” He did find her, utterly exhaustea and at the point of death, hidden in a clump of trees, whither she had crawled to escapo tho Indinns and to die. George carrviod his ‘“poor Bessie” to his wickup, uursed her until she was able to ride. and then he took her in hisarmson a pony and rode a hundred miles with her to the big med- icino man. Christ came to tell us they were gone, and from him we learned that when the Indians got drank, " Tnjin Charley,” who had long been jealous of George and wanted Bessic himself,drew up his rifle to shoot him, and Bessie rushed forward in time to throw up the weapon and save George’s life. Injin Charley then clubbed his gun and beat the poor girl over the head until she sank unconsciou: It secm: f, from having had George in her mind when she foll, when confused consciousness returned to her she conneeted him with her wounded condition, and so thought ho had tried to kill her. Christ said us: “George, Bessie keop you much big here,” laving his hand over his heart, and they sent him to tell us they were going to Shoshone to big med cinejand would “write letter to Chrisy”’ and tell us *‘how Bessie,” “Bat, Christ, George 1o write. no read.
