The Christmas reason begins at Xmniannel church on cbrlatmaa 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 fresh in the midst ot winter’s cold ness and deadness.

Poop(o have often asked why ' a living tree was not used for this purpose year after year. The an •wer to that question Is that the living tree wan the pagan cuatom among the Germans centuries he ights'of architecture, the lamp of sacrifice, the lamp ot truth, the lamp of power, the lamp of beaut} 1 , tho lamp of life, the lamp of mem ory, tho lamp ot obedience. Aiid these are not only the lamps ot ar chitecture but the lights ot the Christmas Tree of the soul, giving light amid 1 tho darkness and Ignor ance of the' world. Try and sot 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 be, above all, at Christmas tide. Odr, the blessed Joy ot that beselged city bursts Into Joy when the beleaguering, army Is driven away. The people ot a land Joice- when a son Is born to their king. We rejoice when *t the cele bration of our country's birth, but what Is all that compared with the Joy that tho advent ot Ctrlst brought to the world. Out of that birth came all the liberty of body and sout you enjoy; out of It, wo man, came your proud place; out of it came advance and prgoror'r sad light, and now, more rapidly than ever are Its Joyous possibili ties being developed. Again the Christmas tred la .. - - ■ - sparkling with light, beautiful em pire the rlae of the Christian re- blem of, Him who was not simply listen; but when the Christian "the light of Asia.” but the Light church adopted the custom she'of the whole world; and as He Is also adopted it so as to teach the the great Light, so ought we to I about or talking.

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.
