fellow and has been implicated in several
crimes. the most noted of which was

For this and for other work of a similar
nature he has served time in the Elmira

When Kimball was taken to Bridge-

preached a sermon of unusual interest to a
vast audience. the subject being “The Nine-

from Isaiah ix. 8. “To us a child is born."
That is a tremendous hour in the history
of any family when an immortal spirit is in.

descends avery bright morning. Ono llfs

gladness ring over the cradle. I know not
why anyone should doubt that of old aster

for a star of joy points down to every hon-
orable nativity.
A new eternity dates from that hour.
that minute. Beautiful and appropriate is
the custom of “celebrating the anniversary
of such an event. and clear on into the
eighties and nineties the recurrence of that
day of the year in an old man’s life causa
recognition and more or less congratula-
tion. So. also. nations are accustomed to
celebrate the anniversary of their birth
and the anniversary of the birthof their
great heroes or dellvercrs or benefactors.
The 22d of February and the 4th at July
are never allowed to pass in our land with-
out banquet and oration and bell ringing
and cannonade. But all other birthdayan-
niverscries are lama compared with the
Christnlas‘ festivity. which celebrates the
birthday described in my text.

A Valuable Work Compiled by Engineer
I’llllan B. Blder.
Engineer W. B. Rider has compiled
for the South Norwalk Water Commis-
sioners records of all work connected
with the city water system. He has
made maps. drawings. etcl, oi the lines
of pipes. connections and hydrants. ar-
ranging them in atlas form, which shows
all details pertaining to the entire sys-
tem. The book is not only convenient
for the Water Commissioners.but will be
a valuable acquisition to the city records.
The total amount of piping in 1875. in-
cluding distribution from the original
works, was 8 010 miles. The total
amount laid under Superintendent Ri-
der's supervision was 2010-100. This
does not include the many extensions
made under Superintendent Norton's di-
rection. amounting probably to about
five miles more. The original number of
hydrants for fire protection was forty-
three. There are at thepresent limo i28.in
eluding fourteen in East Norwalk. There
are now fifty-four branches in the mains
for future use for proposed streets and
hydrants.

The differenceof Christ's religion from
all others Is that its one way of disseminar

science of theological ilsticulfs. hut “tell-

for thee.” f‘When be In some. he willtell

.And lowhat way could all nations so
well be told that Christ had corneas by
such an intornnl‘onal rmphnsizing of his
nativity? All India would cry out about
such an affair. for you know they have
their railroads and telegtvnp‘filtr"What is

would come down to the gangplnnks of

that they are cclebrnting in America?" It
would be the mightiest. mimlonnry move
ment the world has ever sea-n. it would
be the turning point In the world‘ndesliny.
It would whiten thc slumbering nations
with one touch.
Question the Second—How would you
have such an international Jubilee con-
ducted? Answer—All arts should be marG
shaled. and art in Its most attractive and
Im resslva shape. First. llrchitectnre.
W lie all academies oi music and all
churches and all great halls would be
needed. there should be one great audi-
torlum elected to hold such an audience as
has new r been seen on any altered occasion
in America. if Scrlbonlus Curio at the
cost. of n kingdom could build the first. two
vast amphitheaters. placing them back
to back. holding great audiences for
dramatic repn-sentntlon. and then by
wonderful machinery could turn them
round with all. their audiences In
than. making the two auditoriums one
amphitheater. to witness a gladiatorial
contest, and Vcapaainn could construct the
Coliseum with its till columns and its trI-
umphs In three ordq‘s of Greek architec-

afford one architectural achievement that
would hold; ntbrall its 50,000 Chris—

voice will be developed. and instead oi the
mumbling ministers. who speak with so
low a tone you cannot hear unless you lean
forward and hold your hand behind your
ear. and then are able to guess the general
drift of the subject and decide quite well
whether it is about Moses or Paul or some
one elscalnstrnd of thnt you will have

Why do I propose America as the court

part of America will have such immensity»

by do I now make this nomination of
time and place? Answer—Because such a
stupendous movement cannot be eaten.
ready for such an overtoweving oelsbm

in churches. In colleges. in legislatures, In
congresses. in parliaments. In all styles of
national assembl . and we have no
time to lose. It would take three years to
make a programme worthy of such a com-
ing together.
Why do I take It upon myself to make
such a nomination of time and place! An-
swer—Because it so happens that In the
myltarious providence oi God. born in a
farmhouse and of no royal or princely de-
scent. ths doors of communication are open
to me every week by the secular and reli-
gious printing presses and have been open
to me every week for many years. with all
the cities and towns and neighborhoods of
Christendom. and indeed in lands outside
of Christendom. where printing presses
have been established. and I feel that if
there is anything worthy in this proposl'
tion it will be heeded and adopted.
0n the other hand. if it be too sanguine
or too hopeful or too impractical. I am
sure it will do no harm that l have ex.
pressed my wish for such an international
jubilee. celebratlva of the birth oi our Im-
manuel. My friends. such a birthday cele-
bration at the close of one century and
remixing into a new century would be
something in which heaven and north
could join. it would not only be interns.
tional. but Interplalletary, interstellar. in.
temnstellation. If you remember what
occurred on the first Christmas night. you
know that it was not a joy confined to our
world.
The choir above Bethlehem was Impuri-
od from another world. and when the star
left its usual sphere to designate the birth‘
place all astronomy felt the thrill. if there be
anything true about our religion. it is that
other worlds are sympathetic with this
world and in communication with it. The
glorified of he on would join In such a cole-
bration. Thea notions that tolled to have
the world for Christ wmlld take part in such
jubilation and prolonged assemblage. The
