No, sir. No, madam. It is my joy this

make my discourse accumulative anil clhnac

you that, that night, in the Bethlehem

the poorly started. He had only two friends
—they delicate His parents. No satin lined cradle, no
attentions, but straw, and the cattle,
and the coarse joke anil banter of the camel
drivers. No wonder the mediaeval painters
represent infant She oxen as kneeling before the

name is mightiest to-day in Christen
dom? Jesus. Who has more friends on
earth than any other being? Jesus. Before
whom do the most thousands kneel in chapel
and church and cathedral this hour? Jesus.
For whom could one hundred million souls
be marshaled, ready to fight or die? Jesus.
From what depths of poverty to what
ol renown! And so let all those who arc poorly
started remember that they cannot be more
than poorly born, or more disadvantageous^
this Christ. I,at them look up to His
example while they ' have time ami . tamtty
to imitate it
Do you know that the vast majority of the
world’s Blither, deliverers the had barnlike birthplaces}

at Stratford-on-Avon. Columbus, the dis

born in a humble home at Westmoreland,

have to tell you that nine out of ton of the
world’s deliverers, nine out of ten of the
world's mossiahs—the messinhs of scienee
the messiabs of law, the measiahs of modi
cine, the messiahs of poverty, the measiahs
of grand benevolence—were born in want.

astronomer, was born in the home of a poor
musician, he afterward not only one star, but all the stars

heaven to send its favorite to that rmmilia
tion. It was a sa< rifice for a rebellious world.
After the calamity in Paradise, not only did
the ox begin to irore, and the adder to sting,
and the elephant to smite with his tusk, and
the lion to put to bad use tooth and paw, but
nnder the very tree from which the forbidden
fruit was plucked were hatched out war arid
revenge, ami malice ami eiivy and jealousy,
and the whole brood of cockatrices.
But against that scene 1 set the Bethlehem
manger, which says: ‘ Bless rather than
curse, endure rather than assault, and that
Christinas night puts out vindictiveness. It
says: “Sheathe your sword, dismount your
guns, dismantle your batteries, turn the war

into a grain ship to take food H famished
Ireland, hook your cavalry horses to tho
plow, use your deadly gunpowder in blasting
rocks and in patriotic celebration, stop your
lawsuits, quit writing anonymous letters, ex
tract the sting from your sarcasm, let your
wit coru-scat* but never burn, drop all th«
harsh words from your vocabulary—'Good
will to men.’”
-Oh'” you say, “X can’t exercise it; I won’t
exercise it until they apologize; 1 won’t for
give them until they ask me to forgive
them.” You are no Christian then—I say
you are no Christian, or you are a very in
consistent Christian. If you forgive not men
their trespasses, how can you expect your
Heavenly F’ather to forgive you' Forgive
them if they ask your forgiveness and for
give them anyhow. Shake hand all around.
-‘Good will to men.”
Oh, my Ix>rd Jesus, drop Hint spirit I into

I have ever bad about Christianity
was ari astronomical skepticism which said;
"Why would God out of the hewena and

verse have chosen our little bit of a world for
the achievements of His only begotten Son
when He might have had a vaster scale
and vaster worlds?’ But my skepticism is
all gone as I come to the manger arid watch
its surroundings. Now 1 see all the worids
are sisters, ani that when one weape they ail
weep and when one sings they all sing.
