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.
