MILLEDGEVILLE, G a. —
“Christmas Means Christianity”
was the theme of an address de
livered by the Rev. John D. Too
mey, pastor of the Sacred Heart
Church, at the luncheon .neeting
of the Rotary Club held at the
Cafeteria of the Georgia State
College for Women during the
holiday season.
“The tho.. ;l,ts that race through
our minds during the Christmas
season are many and varied,” said
Father Toomey. ■ Indeed, there are
some who are so busy at this time
that they have scarcely time to
think, and Christrtias is almost
over before they realize that it is
here. It is remarkable—and won
derful—to know that this great
feast day has become such a focal
point in our livps^o much so that
all human activity in America and
many other countries points to
ward its observance -or months
ahead. Schools regulate their cal
endars according to it; business
makes great prep'.nation for it;
housewives plan then cooking ac
cordingly, and families schedule
their reunions for the Christmas
season.
“I dare say that there is too
much activity centered around the
Christmas season. In many re
spects it has gotten out of bounds,
and in going to its excesses, the
real significance of the day has
been lost to many. It L eing
used too much as an excuse, or an
occasion, for such things ac mer
chandizing, fob frivolity, for self-
satisfaction, yes. for many things
which have no direct bearing on
the reason for the feast itself.
“There is only one important
reason for the celebration of
Christmas, and.that reason is that
it is the birthday ef Jesus Christ.
All other considerations concern
ing the Christmas season should
be given second place to this one
thought, Christmas is the birthday
of Christ. Therefore, to prepare
for it or to think of it only in a
material sense' is to miss the point
entirely.”
Father Toomey continued by
contracting the conditions existing
in the world of ancient Greece
and Rome witli those of the Chris
tian era, and said that those
thoughts would give a better ap
preciation of the real meaning of
Christmas.
