POINTED SUGGESTIONS. By Rev. D. W. Snider. The fact of the birth of Jesus,which is so definitely announced and widely made known and contemplated from so many vlew points (e.g., Herod, the Magi, the shepherds, the chief priest and scribes, as well as Joseph sind the Virgin Mother; draws atteiif tion to a life that must be accounted for.
