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. W. L.
