Christmas Is Coming
By Richard Lloyd Jones
Yes, Christmas is coming, some
time. It is comnig when Christmas
is a life and not aday; when it is an
abiding spirit and not a one day in
the year manifestation; when it is a
habit and not an exertion; when it
is something within us and not with
out.
Christmas is coming when at all
times we love to gve more thaa we
love ta get: when we love to serve
at least as much at we leov t* be
served.
Christmas is coming when not on
ly some homes but ail homes are hap
py when the Bpirit of good cheer
binds all omea in its wonderful,
warm and inclusive radiance and
good homes are no longer bound
within themselves
Christmas is coming when all
children can play; when all homes
are sunny and warm; when all ta
bles are spread with bounty; when
all stoelcifigs are full.
Christmas is coming when our as
sociated charities will no longer
have to dispense dolls to the little
daughters of drunken fathers; when
men are not allowed to grow rich by
robbing children and mothers; by
demoralizing weak fathers and hus
bands.
Christmas is coming when men are
brave enough and true enough to
help theirb rothers stand up soldier
like and fight the sordid powers
that seek their selfish pots of gold
by bringing men to shame and wom
en and children to suffering and
•want
Christmas is coming when we al
low no one to capitalize human
weaknesses to beggar the individual
and debauch public morals.
Christmas is coming when every
lalorer can look forward to an old
age without fear; when wdowed
mothers uo not have to live in dread
lest some “benevolent” asylum will
rob er of her children.
Christmas is coming when judges
look for justice and not for loop
oles and petty techncal errors in the
law.
Cristmas is coming wen men seek
not to take unfair advantage one of
another but dwell in harmony, learn
ing to love one another as He urges
us to do; wen men no longer suffer
■ commercialized gambling places;
when men no longer, with sunken
eyes and fevered brain, clutch at
each other’s throats for gold, when
stony faces no longer sneer at break
ing hearts; when men are no longer
set adrift on the waters of misery by
fickle fortune; when their wailing
voces are no longer lost in the rum
bling roar of greed.
Christmas is coming when frail
human moths are no longer lured to
flutter about false lights and drop
at last, burned and bruised, on the
cold gray stones of dissipation.
Christmas is comng when women
no longer let themselves drft easily
down the river of foolish fashion
which has its end n the sea of un
rest and where the false god of envy
waits.
Christmas is coming when we grow
tolerant; when our wasting jeal
ousies are woven nito love and help
fulness.
Christinas is coming when de
mocracy is within rather than with
out oub churches; when we follow
the Master and not some sectarian
interpreter of the Master; when all
our churches grow strong through
simple sincerity and as He would
have us, become one in His name.
When every man is athia best ev
ery day in the year and just one day
in the year, when we LIVE as Christ
taught us to live, then will Christ
mas come.
