A Business Concern that is Making History for the State The Sidney P. Dones Co. Volume 27 A Business Real Estate, Law, Owned and Sidney P. Dones, Manager and Founder of The Sidney P. Dones Co. Mr. Dones was born in Marshal, Texas, just 26 years ago. At the age of 17 Mr. Dones came to California and after spending one year here he went to El Paso, Texas and helped promote the New Day Colonization Co. The intention of the company was to secure land in Mexico and settle colored people. Mr. Dones went to Mexico while yet only 19 years of age and with a delegation from his company secured 50,000 acres of land from President Diaz. After spending years in Mexico Mr. Dones returned to California and opened a real estate office. Since then he has done a business that speaks well for itself. The many sales made by Mr. Dones and his associates speaks well for their ability as real estate and fire insurance salesmen and the many friends made by their company speak well for their square dealing. Mr. Dones, the subject of this article, is a christian gentleman, a trustee of the First A.M. E. church and is always ready to try and help the needy ones. Mr. Dones has taken a course in law with the La Salle Extension School of Law at Chicago and is expecting to be ad- C. A. JONES, ATTORNEY Manager of the Legal Department mitted to practice law in January 1915. He has also taken instructions from the Barel Memory School and has one of the most excellent memories. Mr. Dones married Miss Bessie Williams in June 1913, the supposed unlucky year,but he thought a delay might mean worse luck than martrying in 1913 so he decided not to wait. Now he is the proud father of, he says, the sweetest little daughter in the world—well every father should think that. C. A. JONES It is the policy of the Eagle at all times to present to our reading public those of our professional men, who by training and ability are worthy of the public confidence The subject of this sketch, Clarence A. Jones, A. B. and L. L. B., since his residence in our State has gained the confidence of the community, the trust of his friends, and the respect of his enemies and has built up for himself a practise which from the view-point of profit and extent would be creditable to a lawyer of years residence in this community. The training and experience of Lawyer Jones has well qualified ```markdown ``` him for the practice of his profession. Lawyer Jones is an A.B. and L.L.B. from Ohio State University one of the leading universities of the West. His university work was completed "Magna Cum Laude," being the Negro to complete the seven college-law course in six years, and for two years representing the university in inter-collegiate debates with Oberlin, Indiana and Illinois universities. Before coming to our city Mr. Jones was associated with Hon W. E. King, the First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of Franklin County, Ohio and one of the leading criminal lawyers in the state of Ohio. Lawyer Jones is a quiet, painstaking and conscientious worker, genial in his disposition, a good mixer, useful in the church and well connected in fraternal orders. While interviewing Attorney Jones, the question of Race patronage was brought up. He then gave me tangible evidence of what Race patronage means to the man who goes after it with confidence in the integrity of his people. File after file of suits brought and adjustments made for race people were shown me. Ninety-five per cent meant substantial gains for clients represented. From this showing, I became convinced that race people were learning fast the lesson of confidence in their own people. Lawyer Jones is the legal adviser of the Sidney P. Dones Co., The Women's Civic League, and manager of the Legal Aid Bureau. We welcome to our midst young men whose training, ability and experience prove them worthy of public confidence. MR. K. C.

R. J. Burdette leaves the eye still tear-dimmed and when the echoes of a world-conflict reverberate from the red riot in Europe, this extract from "The Drums of the Forty-Seventh," Dr. Burdette's latest book, will grip and stir. It is a picture of war painted by the master pen of a man who marched, shot and suffered in the ranks and at the same time is a powerful plea for peace straight from the heart of one who loved his fellow man. BY ROBERT J. BTRDETTE Late Pastor Emeritus of Temple Baptist Church, Noted Minister, Author and Humorist. NIGHT AFTER BATTLE. NIGHT. Count the dead. Number the hearthstones whereon the flickering home light, golden with children's fancy and women's dreams, have been quenched in agony, heartache and blood. Take census of the widows and orphans. Measure the yards of crepe. Gage the bitter vintage of tears. Yes. They have more than we have. It is our fort. We won it fairly. We are the best killers. Man to man, we can kill more of them than they can of us. That establishes the righteousness of any cause. The night after the battle isn't so still as the night before. The soldiers are so weary, mind and body and soul so tired, they moan a little in their sleep. A man babbles—in a strange tongue. He was the first man in the embrasure and he is hurt in the head. He will die before morning. He is talking to his mother, who died in a little Italian mountain village when the soldier was a tiny boy—talking to her in the soft musical tongue she taught him. GOES TO HIS ETERNAL REST. He hasn't spoken a word of it for many years But he is going out of this world of misunderstanding and strife and wars, into the unmeasured years of peace. Goirg to God—by the way of the old home—up the winding mountain path, past the cool spring in the shadow of the great rock, through the door of the little home under the trees—such a sweet way to heaven. He is soothing the deadly pain in his head, just as he soothed all his headaches and heartaches twenty years ago, by nestling in her caressing arms and leaning his tired head against her tender breast. No he doesn't need the chaplain. His mother is comforting him. When a man gets to his mother it isn't very far then to God. A colonel sits by a camp fire with his face in his hands. The sentinel hears him say, "Oh, Christ!" His son was killed at his side on the slope of the fort. The colonel has been trying to write the boy's mother. But that is harder, a thousand times harder, than fighting in the death packed embrasures. FATHER'S BITTFRE DUTY. The torn sheets of paper lying like great snowflakes about his feet are the letters he has begun. "My Precious Wife," "Heart of my Heart," "My Heart's Own Darling." It's a big price to pay for a dirt fort. There is a saying "All's fair in war." But the truth is, nothing is fair in war. The winner has to pay for his winnings about as much as the loser pays for his losses. And the trouble is, neither one can pay spot cash and have the transaction over and done with. The paying for a fort goes on as long as a winner or loser is left alive—heartaches and loneliness and yearnings and bitterness. Takes a long, long time to pay for a common dirt fort, fairly won by fair lighting, and then, after you won it, and have been paying for it so many years, you haven't got it, after all. [From the Sc ap book by J. D. Reynolds, Caldwell Press.] Negro Made Captain of a Big Battle Ship. The only one of the greatest nations in the world that enjoys the distinction of having a Negro ranked and recognized officially as a naval captain in France. Lieutenant Mortenoi, a Negro and a native of Guadeloupe, has recently been promoted on account of services to the French government to the rank of captain in the French navy. While there are many representatives of foreign races in the French army and navy, including both Negroes and Chinese, Captain Mortenoi is the first to attain this rank in the navy. Give Charles Banks a chance and he will get himself and the Mound Bayou banking concern together in good shape. It has now been discovered that the closing of the colored bank was but one of forty-eight which suffered a like fate on account of nonconformity with the new laws of the State regulating financial institutions.

C., Oct. 12th, 1914. —A bulletin on Negroes in the United States will be issued at an early date by William J. Harris, director of the Ceneus Department of Commerce, which will contain all the principal information obtained through the census regarding the number and distribution of the negroes, their rate of increase, their sex and age distribution, and their marital condition. Figures for illiteracy and school attendance and the occupations of negroes will also be presented, as well as data on negroes in agriculture and on mortality among negroes. This bulletin is preliminary to a detailed report on negroes in the United States to be issued later, which will be a complete analytical presentation of the statistics concerning the negroes. The bulletin will show that the number of negroes in the United States (exclusive of outlying possessions) in 1910 was 9,827,763, and they formed 10.7 per cent of the total population. In 1900 the number of negroes was 8,833,994 of 11.6 per cent of the total population of that date. The increase among the negroes during the decade was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent. as compared with an increase of 20.8 per cent. among the native whites and of 30.7 per cent among the foreign-born whites. The growth of the negro population results from their own natural increase while the growth of the white population is accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and the high birth rate in immigrant families.

The proportion that mulattoes formed of the total negro population increased from 12 per cent. in 1870 to 15.2 per cent. in 1890, and to 20.9 per cent in 1910. —[From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds, California Eagle Cor.] TOO LATE By EVA CARTER BUCKNER An old woman sat by her open grate Alone in her cottage small, The fire burned low and the flickering light Threw pictures on the wall: "Thanksgiving is only one day off," She murmured to herself. "The larder is empty, the fuel most gone And there's nothing on the shelf." "I toiled and struggled oh so hard! To rear my children three They're grown and gone and left me alone And there's no one to care for me Little we think when we strive so hard To do a parents part That as birds they will fly to a distant lard With no thought for us in their hearts" "There's Frederic who's gone away to war And Harry has taken a wife, Thomas could not be content here, He wanted the city life; And so I am left to struggle alone Ah, a struggle it is indeed— To keep the hungry wolf from the door Though there's only myself to feed." "But God knows best I'll trust in him He watches over all, E'en the messenger bird as it takes its flight And the sparrow when it falls." With her old worn Bible clasped in her hands, Which she had been reading there She knelt her down by her humble cot And offered a silent prayer. Now the boys had been planning, great surprise For their mother Thanksgiving day, They'd repented at last of their negligence And her kindness they would repay So they talked and planned for her future years As to the old home they went, How familiar the old place looked to them Where their happy childhood was spent. They quietly opened the unbolted door "Oh! mother here are we, Forgive us for this long neglect And we will care for thee" But from that attitude of prayer She never raised her head, And a sorrowful revelation it was When they realized she was dead. We will never know what the the angels heard As that mother knelt in prayer But a message was quickly sent from above That a feast was awaiting her there, And for many years the children must mourn That this should have been her fate With willing hands they gladly came But alas! it was too late. Mrs. J. P. Jones of E. 14th street was a welcome caller at the Eagle office this week. Work Done at Moderate Prices Goods called for and delivered M 4425 HENRY L.

Brown, the White Negro Journa list, Severely Wounded Our chief gunner with our big siege gun found the range and in our last issue we struck Brown, the White-Negro journalist, with a solid shot; we know it, because he fell down from the tree with a mighty howl; all he could say was, "Oh! that big man and brainies he is." Now all of the white men of his ilk say Negroes lack brains, they do more than that in some places, they lyach, mob and burn them. This man happens to be where he can't put that over, and he proceeds to hustle on them. He jumped on a little Negro schoolboy whom he overpowered and wrested from him a Negro newspaper and is now brazenly endeavoring to flim flam Negroes for support of the same. We know everything and we are not after the NITS, we are after that great big GNAT. A few more shots will dislodge him and destroy his ambition for Negro journalism. We many not in brains compare with Dr. Gonsaulue or Prof. Swing but we aver that the Negroes of this community have more confidence in this brainless gunner making their fight than Brown with a barrel full of brains. Run up the flag Mr. Brown when you have got enough, otherwise we will be on you every minute of the time. During the past few weeks we have been the recipient of many letters congratulating us on the appearance of the Eagle all of which we highly appreciate and shall continue to try and merit the same, by furnishing our readers the very best that can be evolved out of an humble and ambitious effort. PASADENA The funeral of the late Dr. W. R. R. Duncan, D. D., who died on Thanksgiving day at 6:40 a.m. was held Monday at 2 o'clock at Scott Chapel, Rev. E. W. Kinchen in charge. It was one of the largest ever held in the city, with many Ministers present, and some people were turned away that could not gain entrance. Three white Ministers were there, Rev. F. G. H. Stevens, Dr. F. D. Mather the superintendent of Pasadena district of the M. E. Church, Dr. Matt. S. Hughes D. D., L.L.D., the pastor of the First M. E. church of Pasadena, offered prayer; Rev. W. H. Dickerson, the pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, read the 90th psalm; Rev. McKenney, the pastor of Mason Chapel M. E. Church of Los Angeles, read his obituary; Rev. Steavens, of Lake Avenue M. E. Church, read; Rev. Mather, the superintendent of the Pasadena district, spoke a few words and read from the soe. psalm. Rev. ```markdown ``` the First Methodist Church, said among the many things, that he knew Pr. Duncan before any member of his church did, as he had met and worked with him in the general conference and did much to bring him here. Many resolutions were read. Rev. L. G. Robinson, the assistant pastor of Scott Chapel, read a resolution from the board; Miss Gladys Harris one from the choir; Miss Katie Lee, one from the Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society; Mr. William Prince, from the A. M. E. Church, s. B. Danby from the Sunday School, Capt. Reynold sang a solo; Mrs. Dent, solo; Mrs. Beavers, solo; Mrs. Hicks and a duette by Mrs. Dyatt and Miss E. Miller. Dr. Duncan, no more. He was born in Union county, South Carolina, and was converted at eleven years old and began to preach at the age of 19. He has been preaching for 38 years, and at 25 ordained Elder, and for 16 years presiding Elder in Arkansas, and served every district in the State, was president of the Board of Trustees of Philander Smith College and a graduate from the Boston Theological schools, where he received his degree from J. R. Campbell College from Miss. It has been written that "nothing so reconciles us to the thought of our own death as the prospect of one friend after another dropping around us." If there be a real consolation in this philosophy, it must manifest itself to each one of the survivors of our Church. And a great poet has said over the bier of the dead: "Come away, for life and thought here no longer dwell But in a city glorious-a great and dis- tant city— Have bought a mansion incorruptible." Things to Think About. BY S. B. CARR The saloon would kill the church if it could. The church could kill the saloon if it would. But it is coming one way or the other, so it is up to you to be on one side, for or against. After more than 28 years without a barroom in Pasadena. They voted 4,700 majority against a barroom coming in this city, it is something to think about. This vote was on the 3d of November. So let us look and live. Just think, we have as good people in our state as there is in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Washington. They all voted dry on November 3d. So let us keep on struggling. There is such a thing as a victory of struggle as well as a struggle for victory. There is a struggle that sometimes fails of achievement, but in itself is victory over one who accomplishes his purpose with ease. So let us continue to fight evil things, but not with the sword, so let us have peace with it. Luke 2:14. On earth peace, good will toward men. Matthew 28'52. Then said Jesus unto him: "Put up again thy sword unto its place for all they that take the sword; shall perish with the sword." So you will see that it is the votes that we all want and not the sword. Mrs. Engram of Little Rock, Ark. arrived in this city Sunday. She came to attend the funeral of her father, Dr. Duncan. She will spend some time with her mother before returning to Arkansas. Miss Lizzie Mosee, of Los Angeles, is the house guest of Mrs. W. H. Roberts and Mrs. E. M. Beavers rt 561 Se.

Fun, Frolic and Hilarity Features of the Game. Too much class and too much Hornets was the main reason why the trollly men were beaten at Logan Park Sunday. Willie Simpson, star slabster for the Hornets, held his opponents at his mercy at all stages of the game, only allowing two hits in seven innings. Besides this remarkable feat he scored three men with his home run in the fifth inning. Cash Burns was again the slugger, getting three tripples and a home run out of five times up In the ninth inning King returned Simpson in the box and Carlile returned Whiteside behind the bat. With a man on third Simpson and Whiteside pulled off a clever play which brought merriment io the crowd. The Hornets played a great game, and at present they will be hard to beat.

Full of smiles, and happy as a child on Christmas morning; after Santa Claus had filled its stockings, was the way little Frank Ellis, popular young society man, appeared on his return from the Angel City after a week's vacation. Mr. Ellis had plenty to tell his many friends. He also experienced some hard luck in the City of Lights. Whether they were too bright for him and caused the ill luck we can't say. Some of his misfortunes were as follows: Lost a hat at the dance hall when some one said swing; lost his girl when some one else took her home; came down the street hatless; he put his hand on his head to keep it warm and lost his wallet out of his back pocket; wanted to wire to San Diego for money but the bank was closed. After he thought his ill luck was over, he left Los Angeles driving Mr. E. W. Anderson's big touring car; when half way here he ran over four chickens, two pigs and a man. Outside of these things everything was O. K. Mr. Ellis says that he will now remain in the Exposition City until he finds the stone. Eagle to Look After Poor. Children to be Made Happy. The California Eagle will start a relief fund for the purpose of giving the poor children of San Diego a Happy Christmas. Mr. Geo. Ramsey, our correspondent of the Exposition City, with a committee of five, will start soliciting.

K. Beeks. The sun seeined to have been in‘its glory on the 26th, when old Howard, after a: disastrous begin- ing; strolled upon the crowded gridiron. on, Howard campus. to stalwart and bulky Hampton Tn- stitute. f Between five and ten thousand Negroes in autos, carriages and on feet, students, professional men, old and ‘young — the cream of Washington—crowded upon the historical campus to wit- ness the championship game of the season. On the west portion of the field the Hampton students dressed in military attire sent many yells fly- ing through the balmy air as their fleshy heroes filed out upon the field fresh from a Lincoln victory. The Howardites, arrayed upon the eastern portion of the grid- iron, male and female voices mingling in song and applause, rent the breezes, aided by their band, with “Fight for old How- ard” as their battle-scarred heroes filed out with a suppressed deter- mination for victory. General sentiment, and if bet- ting might be mentioned, favored the husky sons of Hampton, for their strong physiques bespoke for them hours of preparation and days of sturdy toil; furthermore they had recently. defeated Lin- coln, the conquerors of Howard ; also last year, they were the vic- [tors and carried home the Negro championship in the spoils. In spite of this Howard was deter- mined. |_ As the referee blew the whistle ‘for the kick-off, the excitement was intense, every eye followed the ball and each heart increased its. strokes as the dusky oval sailed high and far into the air from the well-trained foot of the Howard captain. Sure and cer- tain the ball descended into the arms of the Hampton player, who started with the assistance. of his brave mates, like a whirlwind up the field, mid great intensity, only to be hauled down by the swift and determined Howardites in his own territory. What a surprise to all! How- ard’s vim and vigilance. See her hold the line, gain the ball, plunge, dash forward and shove Pendahue, her midget fullback, across the Hampton line for the first touchdown of the game. The quarter passed, the ball ranging from Hampton’s to Howard’s ter- ‘ritory with honors about even. _ At the end of the first half the ‘Howard rooters swarmed upon ‘the field and yelled until their voices cracked under the terrific strain, after which they arrayed ‘themselves in the form of a big “H” extending across the field, the lassies forming the cross-bar and sang with fervor, ‘led by the and, “Howard, I Love Old How- ard.” The second half was replete with brilliant playing, open and sensational football, with the odds in favor of Howard. .The Hamp- ton boys‘rose, surged, but. fell, while the Howard boys held the line in response to “Hold that line” from the loyal student body. As the san sat with a smile jand darkness began to creep over ‘the. lea, the night for Howard was fair, but for Hampton it was gloom, as the score-keeper decid- ed that old.

Blanchard hall on Wednesday evening was filled to its fullest capacity to hear the grandson of the great Frederick Douglass in the role of a virtuoso, and while his fame as such had preceeded him, this large audience seemed pleased beyond measure at_his LOS ANGELES BATTLERS BEAT PASADENA FOOT- BALL AGGREGATION 7TOO Filled up with their respective Thanksgiving turkey, two foot- ball teams lined up on Bovard field last Friday for their first an- nual game. One team, Los An- geles, the defendants; the other, Pasadena, the invaders. The odds were all in favor of Pasadena before the game. They had been practicing for about three week, while L. A. did not know the line up of their team until an hour before the game. Within that hour they devised signals and plays which reflects great credit upon the captain, Johnson, and each man. ~ Pasa- dena outweighed the Los Ange- les boys from 10 to 15 to 20 pounds per man. This gave some of the Angels a little fright, but the older members by their gift of gab, instilled a vast amount of confidence into them, and made them believe that Howard Drew was not any better than them- selves. The game was called at 2:30 o'clock.” Johnson kicked off to Davis, who was downed after a gain of five yards by Bailey. Pas- adena then set in and literally ripped and smashed their way for a gain of 40 yards up the field. Then as if the brakes had been applied, they stopped. First an ‘end run failed, then a line buck was stopped, until the orange boys were forced to punt. During this awakening brought about by the excellent work of Bailey, Drew, Kimbrough and Johnson and in fact every man in the line, Los Angeles was gain- ing confidence. Johnson received More’s punt and ran it back about 15 yards. ‘This was the first time the Angels had possession of the ball. Kim- brough and Drew surprised the Pasadenans by their splendid abil- ity to advance the ball. Soon such strenuous work fatigued the deli- cate Angels, especially H. Drew who had been used on wide end runs. The attack on the orange men waned and Johnson was forced to punt. But diminutive Baily was on Davis like a hawk and downed :-him in his tracks. The Pasadena boys showed the best interference of the game on a spilt Bey Carr of the orange /men the only one who cog adr the ball effectively, but fe could ‘not’overcome the whole igelteam. es rendition of a classical repertoire that called for both execution and technique. Each number was greeted by thunderous applause. He was assisted by our own local talent. Miss Albritton ‘and Mdme. Lilliam Hawkins Jones pleased the audience with solos. Mr. Knip as a dramatic reader also was a prime favorite with the audience. . The Angels got their touch- down in the last three minutes play of the last quarter. A long end run by Johnson brought the ball to Pasadena’s 25-yard line. It was advanced to their 10-yard line by Kimbrough and then tak- en over by Johnson, wha kicked goal. * 2 With some good practice the Angels’ football team will be in- vincible. The stars of the game were in fact the whole team. every man starred. Little Bailey's tackling was a treat for the spectators. Drew and Johnson lived up to their reputations, while Kim- grough thoroughly demonstrated a pile driver in action. Carr was the individual star for) Pasadena. | Dear Editor: At the meeting of the Allen Christian) Endeavor last Lord’s Day, they talked on the subject of Missionary Heroes, ‘and mentioned as some of the leading characters in this great field of work in foreign lands Bishops H.

"Because he hath poured out his soul unto death: And he was numbered with the transgressors, and he bore the sins of many and made intercessions for the transgressors." Another twelve months have kept step in steady march of father time. And we, by the grace of God, have been again allowed to rejoice together upon this, yearly occasion, to express our gratitude to Him who has kept us against the unforeseen things on this earth. Soul and body have been kept together because through His kindness we have been provided for. He has covered yonder hill with fatted calfs, the barn yards with cackling fouls, the vineyards have yielded its luscious fruits in abundance and the wine press is being trod by anxious imbibrs, the harvest of grain has swollen the barns to bursting, the crack, crack of drivers' whips can be heard far and near as they urge onward the panting horses, as they tug away pull-the heavy loads of freshly garnered grain to the waiting market. Out of the bowels of the earth has come in plenty, gold., silver, zinc, copper and coal. The populace of universe stands with a broad smile upon its face for mother earth has yielded plentiously for her waiting children. The world would be at ease were it not for selfish dignity and territorial acquisition on the part of the nations of the continental Europe, who like the fly in the pan of milk has spoiled the peaceful setting of a world wide Thanksgiving. It is sad indeed, to realize that after the earth in her routine has unfolded her bosom of so large a bounty, for a people to show its ingratitude to Him who give the increase. But they tell me it must be if that is true, then,let us be thankful for war and pray for more wars to grace our universe the next year. God has done his duty, the sun has rose at its regular time, to the satisfaction of the paney, daisy and and the rose, who greet it with almost humanlike expectation, as they unsold their leaves as if they were lips to lavish upon it a good morning kiss. The rain has fallen in copious showers, sufficient to keep the roots of all vegetation drinking that it might not die of thirst. The sun, wind and rain are manipul ted solely by the mighty working of the power of God, human philosophy and science have yet to be able to throttle their activities, that is to say when it shall or shall not come or go. The sun shines, the wind blows and the rain flls at His will. These are absolute essentials, necessary to plenty or poverty; yet each is above the power of man to govern or to call into his service at will. It is God's business, but He hath not withheld it from us. For those gifts, the whole world may rejoice, whether in war or at peace, in poverty or plenty, give praises unto Him for he has abundantly provided for all his creatures, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, yes for man and beast alike, He has fed all. For these blessings the whole world may join in singing. Here below, Praise Father, son and Holy Ghost. But our Thanksgiving must not stop here, for these blessings are of things mortal, to the end, that soul and body are kept together, as mortal, the oody cannot always live, rom vegetable and beast we have had our mortal desires fulfilled, but as mortal we must perish. Our body shall decay and return to dust. Shouting and merrymaking some day must cease. Hence the scenery of this occasion must change, things mortal must exit, and things immortal "flung" upon the canvas. Let us get a picture of the greatest blessing of all the ages for which thanks should be given at all times. The most wonderful gift ever bestowed upon a perishing people. The gift that was presented nearly two millenniums ago, and yet, as new and precious as if given yesterday. The "Gift" that God let Isaiah, the author of the text, foresee, seven and a half centuries before it was bestowed. Who in a spirit of prophecy said that, "The people that walk in darkness have seen a great light." they that dwell in the land of the the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shown." Surely these words of glad tidings must have brought joy and exceeding comfort to the heart of the despondent Israelites. To those around whom the shadow of death is lurking, be cheerful the dim glimmer of a radiant light is seen traveling this way; which light shall lead you out of the valley of the shadow of death, "for unto us a child is born, a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called wonderful. counsellor, The Mighty God, the everlasting Father The Prince of peace." "This wonderful light," "this Prince of Peace," is the only begotten Son of God, who must "pour sut His soul unto [death]—bare our iniquities—given to the world that we might have eternal life. In this gift, lay a greatness that human intellect cannot fathom. No gift whatever the cost or magnitude might be, cannot equal it. God's son poured out his soul unto death, though perfect, "was numbered with the transgressors," and bare the sin of many." Your sin and my sin are borne by Him—It was a part of the purpose of the gift. How much more precious is this gift which perishes not, and is eternal and is wrought in me and in you, by the effectual working of His mighty power, wherein I am adopted in the Royal family? Then the mortal gift of yesterday which perished with the set-sun. Upon the shoulders of this glorious gift is placed the burden of baring my sins and make intercession for me with the Father. To accomplish this He poured His life out on the cross at Calvery.
