Christmas, redolent of the holiest and most tender reminiscences-of which the human mind is susceptible; the time of all others in svhich those of us wdio are svell adosvn the vale of life musingly, and svith a ssveet pain, call up spirits from the vasty deep, the battalions who have made good their- landing oh the thither shore and await our coming and who dare'say that the empty chair reverently placed at the Christmas .table in memory of some loved one gone before Is not occu-. pied? There be things iu heaven and earth not dreamt of, in our philosophy. Christmas, as a festival, ante-, dates all others. It is nearly as .old as the race, itself, 'and svas strictly a product of the northern ' hemisphere, being of( astronomical origin. The earthc having reached and passed her extreme declination, the evidence of svhich was the increasing length of the' days, foretelling the good nesvs of the resurrection or return of the sun (which svas universally worshipped in early days)-to his pristine poss-er and glory. More light, more heat', more plenty coming. No wonder it svas a festis al time, its appropriateness would be forced upon mankind. All the nations , history has mentioned had their festivals at this time in honor of the resurrection of the Sun God, and doubtless the "Man of many sorrows" participated in these himself as the celebration of the season svas universal. -The early Catholic church, with an unscrupulousness svhich almost commands our admiration, seized upon this joyful time of prayer and praise to the Universal Father and declared it, backed up by all its awful thunders and threatening.-1, strictly a Christian festival commemorative of the birth of Christ, who, it asserted, svas born- on that particular dav. This is the very biggest "grab" recorded in all history, es-ery other grab, Phillipine grab, Alsace-Lorraine giab, attempted Transvaal grab, pale into utter in.Mgnifieance before the magnificent audacity of this, the monumental grab of the svorld. Stealing the birthright oi' manner perpetuated this, svith the result that ai the present'day the majority of non-reading or non- stiidying Protestants believe the 25th of December lobe the veritable birthday of the Messiah. 'In spile of all- this 'the clay has uosv he- come hallowed to all from old-time associations, but all the same it lias been narrowed i'n its scope b\ thai Hibiliiirs" act of (he J,;il!iolie church, and C'C'iiveifed into a Christian fes i tival, s-'hou u ssas onginalls, • and still ought to be a festival of the entire brotherhood of man iu honor of God, the common Father. 1 Tn the, spirit of the times, sve wish one and all a Men's Christmas. May their stoics be multiplied and may the spirit of kindness and charity., and unselfishness characteristic of the time remain svith all of us and not be put off like a garb svheu the function is over. Let us retain those Christmas feelings for the other ' three hundred and sixty four days oi the year, keeping under foot the foul demon of selfishness, and our word for it, this old svorld of ours svill be one worth living in. effect on British Columbia, at-this juncture, when the introduction of* party lines is a'paramount issue, svill ,be groat, and further strengthen _ the labors of the Conservative Convention initiated several months ago at Nesv Westminster." lie GENERAL BULLER.

Gen. Buller is noc a popi lar man in the. army. Pie is. an. intrepid soldier, svith abrupt manners and combatis-e disposition. Dauntless and energc-';c, he is the type of commander that stops^ at* nothing, and he expects ' Tommy Atkins," rank'and file, to emulate him to the extreme limit of bravery and endurance on the march; or under fire.- His soldiers respect, admire and trust him, though they do not los-e him.

The aesthetic among the subject-citizens of Great Britain ma}- wish that the military leaders of the Km pire had inherited less plebeian names, since those of "Kitchener" and "Buller" do not assort gracefully with * titles of nobility. Practical people, however, are, no doubt, quite willing to leave euphony iu the matter of names to the figure-heads that take precedence on the army lists—the princes and dukes born to titles— and accept names that stand for something iu utility and force as better suited to the real military ! leaders of the nation.
