KEEP THE PEACE AND
GOOD WILL OF XMAS
Essence of tlie Spirit of Christinas
Should be Retained Through¬
out the Year
Annually the spirit of Christmas de¬
scends upon the world. For a little
space the enmities and animosities, the
trials and annoyances of workaday life,
the sorrows and anxieties are forgot¬
ten. Humanity, prosperous, turns its
thoughts to humanity in suffering, and
seeks to bring to those in want and in
distress at least a fragment of the
spirit which is abroad throughout the
land.
Then memory turns back to the old
friends, perhaps almost forgotten in
the rush of the year’s affairs, kindly
thoughts and pleasant recollections fill
the mind. One turns naturally to the
greeting and the gift as a means of
expressing the joy of Christmas which
is in the heart, and on each of us is im¬
pressed anew the thought that it is
more blessed to give than to receive,
giving not only material gifts, but also
friendship, kindness and good will.
And then, when the brief holiday sea¬
son is over, when the Christmas greens
have disappeared and the world is
again in its drab working clothes, the
spirit of Christmas vanishes. Again the
suspicions and jealousies and envy
show themselves. Again we forget the
old friends, and the happy memories
of other days are submerged under the
pressure of the business of today.
One cannot keep alive always a hoi
^ ^hat were attempted, the
work of the world would never be done.
rt is not desirable to attempt to keep
with us for more than a few days each
year the spirit of Christmas jollity an l
good cheer. That joyous atmosphere
would lose its zest were we to trv to
]j ve j n p- f or | ong .
But perhaps the underlying spirit of
Christmas could he kept alive more eon
st antly in our hearts. Perhaps the love
friendliness, and the tendency to
forge t injuries and rise above the pet¬
tiness of life which manifest themselves
at I uletide, could be retained beyond
Twelfth Night and made a part of our
daily lives until next Christmas.
We need not exchange gifts or greet¬
ings. We need not go about with holi¬
day jollity in our countenances. But
we can keep and cherish and augment
by daily use the ideal of peace and good
will toward men, which is the essence
of the Christmas spirit, and by so doing
make the world a better plaee in which
to live.—Milwaukee Sentinel.

A SHORT TALK
By Marvin Rast
WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES
The occasional explosion of a fire¬
cracker by some impatient youth is as
sure a foretoken of Christmas as dog¬
wood blossoms are of spring. And not
only the cracker, blit the elaborate win¬
dow displays in the shops, the Santa
Claus advertisements in the papers, and
t j ie quickened spirit in everybody—all
proclaim the advent of the year’s mer¬
riest season.
These emblems of Christmas have
their function along with holly berries
and mistletoe, yet in none ot' them is
the true meaning of the day typified.
They are merely crude expressions of
joyful feelings.
As for the advertisements, the .husi
ness world publishes through them its
creed that Christinas is a time to rake
in big profits, and the occasion is ther -
by commercialized on an enormous
scale.
Truly it is a time for gifts, but many
people err by yielding too liberally to
the merchants’ pleas, and make then
presentations out of proportion to their
purses. To such persons Christmas is a
strain and a drag. To say the least, it
holds not much joy for them.
How much happier they would be if
they would learn that it i not the
value of tlie gift that touches a respon¬
sive chord in the heart of the receiver
so much as the thought that prompts it.
The happiest sort of a Christmas
comes to those who meditate a bit on
its true meaning. They do not go about
celebrating it by indulging in unlicensed
hilarity, or by giving extravagant pres¬
ents. Rather do they bask serenely in
the glory of the first and greatest gift
of all—the love of God as manifested
in His Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus
Christ.
If in all our getting and giving this
Christmas we strive to absorb and ini
purt more of His loving, unselfish spirit
we shall then make no mistake in the
celebration of His birthday.
