of the “Tree of Light”
Which Attracts Passerby
Every Christmas.
The Christmas reason begins at

Kve (Monday) with the tree tor
the children of tho Sunday school
at ♦ o'clock tn the Pariah future.
Thla will be followed by tho carol
services at The Tree, of Light on
the lawn or the church at 6:10 p. m.
where a nhorAservIco will be held
ami carela sung. Then the people
present will be Invited 1 to follow
THE CHRISTMAS TREE
‘“The Christmas Tree. Far back
Into the night of time lies Its or
igin. We aee, before a tingle priest
had ever preached the Gospel on
German soil, the aavage people
hanging their gifts on the trees of
the forest with aong and Incanta
tion. The Christian church did
with this, as with so many oth
er heathen customs, adopted It,
gave it a new meaning and made
It stand for the Lord Christ, the
Branch and Tree of David 1 , sending
out Its boughs for a refuge; "the
Tree of Life which boro twelve
manner of fruits the leaver
of the tree were for the healing of
the nations."
"Let us look back a little Into
the symbolism of the Christmas
Tree. And first It Ip green and

these are not only the lamps ot ar

Christmas Tree of the soul, giving
light amid 1 tho darkness and Ignor

these lights In the branches ot
your tree. Try and have them the
lights ot your life.
Then, again, tho Christmas Tree
gives Joy and pleasure. It la not
part of a forbidding forest, nor
some upas tree which leasts the
lingerer In It* precincts. It Is a
tree ot gladness and brightness.
Lot It be, again, an emblem to
you of what the Christian ahould

The Christmas Tree bears on Its
branches many useful things, and
let that be a symbol of what yonr

of use to every one there, uncon

all, so pievaded by some goodness
that it radiates from us.
Then again, the Christmas Tree
bears things of beauty as well as
things ot use. In that sense. Is 1 It 'a
symbol of anything beautiful- in
your life? I am well aware that
baantltul things-are-Just as usslyl
In the world as sewing machines
or cook stoves, useful In keeping
us from sinking Into dullness and
vulgarity. Are you lending any
thing from your stores to the ro

of human life? Let some ot the
ugly things among which you hare

siveness when touched by/your
softness and grace and refinement

But above all other things of
which It Is the symbol, the Christ
mas Tree is the symbol of Christ.
There It stands ever green, gloam
