Cbs Christmas Spirit
Christmas! One dayspring of cheerfulness and freedom
from cankering care and selfishness and envy in a year of toil
and stnie and consuming unrest. Christmas, marvelous boon
to human ty, springing legitimately from the brief, eventful
life of the carpenter's Son, is a fixed institution. The twen
tieth century could not spare it if it would; wouldn’t if it
could. The Christinas spirit is everywhere pervading the world
for this brief,,blessed day. Leveling ranks, silencing selfish
ness, dwarfing ea.e, ignoring toil, forgetting creed and cult
and birth and environment, it makes peace and good will not
only possible, but inevitable. The gifts it bears are the spon
taneous fruit of the omnipotent, all pervading spirit of Christ
mas—a wellsprir.g in the desert, a sunbeam on a wintry day, a
single exception to a steadfast rule. The spirit of Christmas
never cloys. We cannot have too much of it. Morning, noon
and night, for break! ast. dinner and supper, the first thing on
awaking and the last thing on going to sleep, every hour of
every day of every week of every month of the year we want
the spirit of Christmas, for it is the spirit of ministration, of
giving, of service, of doing for others.
“Not to be ministered unto, but to minister”—this motto
lived out on every day of the year would dispel the sorrows of
the world, smooth out its wrinkles, abolish its poverty, soothe
its pain, comfort its heartaches, heal its diseases, make it a
heaven. This is what is typified by every Christmas tree and
every grift it bears, by every bulging little stocking that hongs
in the chimney corner, by every wreath of holly, by every
greeting and merry wish.

Tho Greatest Gift.
Christmas Htiimls for one thing—our
Father’s wondrous love to us, his
erring and unworthy children, In send
Ing Ids only begotten Son into this
world to die for our sins nnd to rise
again to be our Deliverer eueb day
from sin and selfishness.
Jesus Christ himself Is the great
Christmas gift. The only true way to
keep Christmas Is by first of all ac
ceptlug for ourselves this wondrous
gift of our Heavenly Father and then
to show our appreciation of this won
drons gift by giving ourselves and all
that we have for others.
It Is a true Instinct that leads us to
give to others Christmas presents, but
too often In following out this Instinct
we give these Christmas gifts to the
wrong persons. We give to those who
already have too much and forget those
who have not enough.
Hod gave his great gift to the needy,
to those wlto had nothing to return for
his gift. Let us follow him. Let us
find the needy and give to them out
of our abundance. Every one who is
in comfortable circumstances should
find some family that is really in need.
Borne family where there will be little
Christmas brightness unless others
come to their help and give to this
family a real Christmas, Including a
good Christmas dinner and some appro
priate gift to every member of the
family down to the youngest child.
Don't do it through some society.
What Is most needed Is living and sym
pathetic- personal contact between rich
and poor. Do this nnd you will have
as merry a Christmas as you ever
knew.— Rev. II A. Torrey.
CHRISTMAS AGAIN!
One* more the hallowed,
graoious Christmas time is
upon the earth. At last the
long year of toil ovar tools
and arts and industries ia all
but ended. The Christmas
fsatival, dedicated to happi
ness and good will, hat come.
This morning tha whole
oity has wakened to quad
ruple joy. The vary atmos
phere of our earth is rosy,
stained with the rich colors of
the heart. All windows are
bright with holly and ever
green. Parents have discov
ered that it it more blessed to
give than to receive. Joy runs
riot in the heart of little chil
dren. Youth overflows with
animal spirits. Suddenly the
aged have shed their years
and become young again. Be
fore the light had fully dawn
ed the carols had begun to be
heard in the churches. And
every passing hour will be
hold larger multitudes throng
ing to these templos of the
eoul. All fool that no flowers
are sweet enough, no songs
bright enough, no gifte rich
enough for the Christmas
day. For once all strife and
enmity have disappeared from
the market place.—Rev. New
ell D. Hillis, D. D.
