CHRISTMAS
It is n happy thought thnt in tlm
long procession of swiftly passing days
thero nro soino in ovory year that speak,
amid the waste of time, of immortal
life and love. The flower blooms in
beauty but an hour. Youth is immature,
ngo is blighted with dorny, and the
full, ripo manhood passes from the one
to tho othor, as from porfoetion to
imperfection, on to death. Tiino fur
rows tho brow, silvors tho locks, bonds
tho buck, and mnkes of tho heart itself
n store-house of sad memories. In ovory
sood thero is writton along with the
promise of growth tho doom of decay.
It iB tho lesson, of all history, and from
tho moment thnt tho knowledge of this
destiny bos ontorod consciousness -it is
tho bitter dreg at tho bottom of ovory
<;up of plonsuro.
Tho- ,proudost structures of human
prido crumble into ruins, and oven our
air castles cast tlioir shadows. In vain
wo dronm dreams and see visions; from
our oblivious slumber, from our joyous
rovory, wo nro awakened as prisoners
for whom tho oxocutioner is waiting,
Timo will novor dtuy his hand; but ns
he turns the loaves of tho calondar of
our allotted days wo come onco ovory
yoor to tho illuminatad pago of Christ
mas, and then from tho portals of tho
grave our souls are lifted honvonwnrd
on buoynnt wings of hope.
Thnt is tho meaning of tho day—
tho in nor reason of the rejoicing that
It brings to all Christendom. Leave out
that day and all the rest nro blanks.
Tho world mny forgot this faith, ignoro
it, or deny it; but doop within its honrt
of hearts it is tho sourco of its Strength,
tho inspiration of its ondouvor. From
tho darkness of despair and doubt it
has brought llfo and immortality to light,’
and given significance to deods that clso
wore worthless.
Christmas comes, nnd from tho bol-
fry whence tho funeral knell wub tolled,
joy bolls penl out tho prophecy of uni
versal resurrection. Hence Christmas
is the festival of humanity, the jubilee*
of a world-wido emancipation. To tho
•downtrodden ami oppressed of nil na
tions, it declares tho equality of the
whojo human family in tho fatherhood
of <W and tho hrothorhood of Christ.
To every griof a eonsolntion, to ovory
■wrong a comploto redross, it breaks tho
prisoner’s chains; nnd to tho tyrnnt it
soys, “Romombor, this thy slave iB thy
brother, too. 1 ’
Here wo have tho koy to tho enigma
of existence. Tho star that shone over
Bethlehem shines on’all the blurred scroll
of history, and between its linos wo traco
tho linger of Providonco. The philoso
phy of history Is found ih tho divine
purpose which persists nnd works out
good for civilization, onllghtonmont and
f seed am. Otliorwlso tho mystory ijf fate
baa no solution, and the happiest llfo
of men and kingdoms is only a post
ponement of inevitable sorrow and doso-
Jution.
Truo, wo aro not always wholly con
scious of tho reason of Christmas re
joicings. We celebrate the day as by
a sort of traditional call to be happy;
but we seldom quito forgot that it comes
itlth a mission of love. We give good
gifts to our children and our friends;
we remember tho fatherless and the
needy; wo clasp hands with our neigh
bor nnd wish him joy. Thus far, at
lonst, wo realize the spirit of Christian
ity, though wo mny not call to mlml
that on tho first Christmas God gave
His most precious gift to innn, and the
wise men brought gifts to tho Babe in
tho manger. But remembering these
things, wo give with hotter grace, mak
ing what return wo can to the heavenly
bounty when we give to tho least, tho
lowliest, tlic most forlorn and needy of
our brethren.
“J’cncc nnd good will to men,” was
the proclamation of tho angelic choir.
Can wo not offer that? It is not much
to ask from man to man, to whom so
much has been given; but it is enough
to restore to earth tho lost charm of
its corthly Eden. Peace and good will.
However wo mny differ, lot our end be
ponce; and howovor wo may strive anil
suffer, Jet our purpose bo ennobled with
good will. Then tho light of Christinas
will gladden all tho year, and every
year will bo a typo of the mollonnium.
. CHRISTMAS-TIME.
Dr. Thos. B. Gregory.
Away with all grouchinosS and greed,
all doubt and despair! This is the Boa-
son of lovo nnd good will, of hop© and
glndnoss. Joy is always and evorywliero
•‘orthodox” and in order.
If you nro able to do so at no othor
timo of tho yoar, during the Christmas
timo rosolvo to have tho full courage
of your nobio self, and to lot your wor
thiest and bravest sontimont assert it
self to tho full.
Lot joy bo unconfinodt Again lot it
bo said, ‘‘All is well.” Tho sun is not
going to bo conquered by tho Frost
King; tho anarchists aro not going to
overthrow tho Constitution of the United
States and tho govornmont that was in
augurated by our vonorated Washing
ton ; in spito of -tho little politicians who
aro roady to ‘‘givo up to party what
was moaHt for mankind,” the ways and
moans of bottoring tho condition of man
kind will suroly bo found; tho life of
men nnd nations shall not lmvo boon in
vnin; nnd ns for Old Donth, who awaits
us nt tho ond of this little onrthly way,
for all that wo think to tho contrary,
ho mny turn out to bo our best friend.
Tlioso who lmvo crossed tho north At
lantic in winter nood not bo reminded
of tho uplifting and joy-giving influonco
of tho Gulf stronm. Thoso who lmvo
folt it can novor forgot it. Onco fairly
upon tho mysterious ‘‘rivor of tho son,”
tho chill nml numbness of ono’s bdily
nnd Houl dopnrt, tho rigid muBclbs re
lax, tho pont-up foolinga let themselves
loose in Binging, and clint, and nil-round
sociability and onjoyinont, and all the
world seems to bo refashioned for the
bettor.
And such is Christmas, witli its good
will and good choor, its bravo confident
nml Hpontimoous glmlnosH. It is tho
Gulf Htroiun of life, warming us into tho
sontimont of a common humanity, with
its unsolflBlmosB and comradeship, nnd
imparting to us nil a gliul sonso of se
curity and victory.
