I ?! i? y <* About nineteen hundred years ago there occurred in Bethlehem, a village of Judea. the most notable event in the world's history. An event that changed the calendar of time and eclipsed the creed and faith of nations and has established the Christian religion in all civilized countries. This event was but the birth of a little child, but no other child was ever heralded by the angels singing. "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will to man." From the very first that child was a ouo|icti uiiu ncruu was aiarmeo. ne was not a Jew but was a convert to the Jowish religion, and it was wliispered to him that the child was the Son of Qod and would grow up and rule the people and take Mis kingdom away from Him. He did not believe it. hut it alarmed him. for it came to him from many sources and he determined t^? put an end to it hy killing the child. In the meanwhile the angels came and spirited the child and its mother away hy night to Egypt. Nobody in Bethlehem knew tiie child or its mother, and so Herod's cruel murderers could not find them. Herod said they were hidden around them among the poov people. and so to make it sure he ordered trie murderers to go from hot'.si to house and kill every child under two years old. and they did it. Was there ever such horrible brutality? It was worhc than Pharoah, who ordered the midwives to kill the male Infants of the Hebrews, hut to leave the females alive. Is it not strange that men can be found who would kill little innocent ehildrcti just to please a king? I wonder how they killed them. Did they cut their throats or smother them or 1; lirw.Lr H I- n-- ? 111 mi- iifuu or scan thorn to the heart? Did they snatch them from their mothers' arms while they screamed and begged for mercy? Did they leave tlu-m there in their blood or throw them in wagons and haul tjiem away to the potter's field. Historians say those murderers probably killed a thousand, for they did not stop at Bethlehem but went all along the coast regiou where the fishermen lived. What a creature that man Herod must have been. No wonder that the Lord sent worms to prey upon him and eat him up while he was yet. alive. But the little child escaped, and with Joseph and its mother stayed in ICgypt. until Herod was dead. He grew up to manhood and was crucified by his own people and then they began to persecute iiis followers. For about three hundred years the Christians were pursued and driven from place to place and suffered martyrdom for their faitn. They had no peac ? or protection umil Constantlne the Great came into power and took pity upon them. Before that they had no friend at court in any kingdom. In tlie second century Diocletian pretended to tolerate them while they were quiet and made no public demonstration, but one time they secured the use of an old church and all gathered tnere to have service and commemorate the birth of their Savior and start a Christian custom. This made Diocletian very mad. and after the men and women and children were all inside and had begun service, he sent some brutes there and locked the doors'and barred the windows and set the house on lire and burned them all up. It*is amazing how Christianity could live and survive tf? for the first five hundred years. History says it is impossible to estimate the number of those who suffered martyrdom for their faith, but there were thousands anil tens of thousands. Some were beheaded, others thrown to wild beasts and others crucified. Nero had some of them smeared with tar and fired by night in the public streets. Marcus Aurelius had thent chained to the seats of red hot iron chairs. St. Hiandina and St. Kelicuaa. who were noble Roman ladies, were compelled to witness the torture and death of their children and were then beheaded. These are only mentioned as examples of what thousands suffered. But neither the world, the flesh nor the devil could stop the sure r.nd steady progress of Christianity. Christmas has come to stay. It means a ceremony, a festival of love and loyalty to Him who was horn on that day. In Protestant Germany it is called the children's festival and they are taught that the Savior loves them and cares for them and said "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for such is the kingdom of heaven." Christmas signifies a new era?a new date to time and chronology. The hgures on each letter head and on every note and account and receipt prove the birth of Christ. Jews, Gentiles, atheists. infidels, skepth s. every civilized nation and every man and woman hav to use these figures whether they believe them or not. it is wonderful, wonderful. And now we are all Hearing another Christmas. It may rot be the exact anniversary of the Savior's birth, and there are many learned commentators who say that the shepherds did not watch their flocks by night in mill >-> IIIKI iiui MVI t- lOMi, *;i\iii III until about April. Be that aa it may. the good Christians of the third century, the fathers of the church. ni?-t end made it a movable festival to he held in April or in May. Bat a haul'd years later St. Cyril had the pope and the priesthood to meet and tix a my, a day certain, and after lan eossbUiit tlon the 25th of December was agiud upon by the majority, and th" rest concurred. Not because any of them believed that was the true anniversary of the Savior's birth, but because :hnt day would better suit the masses of the people. But. my young friends. Christmas is a time for love and kindness, a time for peace and good will. It is a time to give gifts and make little presents, and to brighten up the homes of the poor. This is better than fireworks and noise and is far more appropriate to the day. The wise men brought to the Infant Savior gifts?costly gifts, and If we have nothing else to give, we can certainly give a smile to those '.ve maot and wish them a happy Christmas.?
