Christmas the
Glad Day for
All the World
E
VERT country and every people
have their own special holt*
days, both national and reli
gious, but Ohristmas is a day
for all countries and all people. It is
the world’s holiday.
It is a day of gladnes8 T as it should
commemorates the birth of
him who brought to the world the
greatest gladness It has ever known or
will ever know, though it were to last
for countless aeons to come.
So universal is the application of
the celebration of Christmas that all
men are included In It, whether they
be of high or lowly station, rich or
poor in the goods of the world.
It is a time for kindly deeds, for
charity, for gifts and all that goes to
make life gentler and sweeter. The
hardest heart can scarcely escape its
softening Influence, the most sordid
miser must struggle to resist its
promptings to generosity.
first the day was a day observed
by professed Christians only; now it
is observed by both those who profess
themselves Christians and those who
pvofesslotie,—jkg wannth
envelops all.
This being true—and no one wUl dia-4
pute it—the meaning of Christmas
gjjows ever clearer to us. Its meaning
is beyond all that we have already said
of it. Christmas means that, ultimate
ly. the whole world will become one
vast brotherhood.
And it is entirely logical that this
should be the real meaning of Christ
mas. because that was the reason Christ
came upon the earth whose birth is
celebrated by Christmas. It was to
make all men brothers that he lived
e.nd taught and toiled; it was to ac
complish this that he gave himself up
voluntarily to a cruel death on the
cross.
It is a wonderful thing that he was
born in a stable, that he was son of a
carpenter, that he never had a dollar
to his name, that he had no home
after he left Nazareth, that he was a
wanderer on the face of the earth with u
no place whereon to lay his head, and
that now, 2,000 years after his death,
his power is over the world as the
power of the Roman empire never
was. \
It is a marvelous thing aty>ut Christ
that as the years and centuries in
crease stnce his death, the more real
he becomes in the thoughts of men
and the better he is understood.
There have been attempts to prove
that he was a myth. But there never
was an attempt at anything that failed
so dismally. There have been at
tempts to dispute the miracles he per-
formed, but these attempts have also
failed.
There is no question now In the
mind of pny historian worthy of the
name that Christ performed all the
miracles that are related of him in the
Gospels. He undoubtedly healed the
sick—the leprous, the palsied and the
others. He turned the water into wine;
he fed the multitude on a few loaves
and fishes. He raised the dead.
Men may differ, as indeed they do,
as to whether qr not Christ was the
divine son of God, but even those who
in the face of every proof reject this
claim still regard him as the purest,
the noblest and the greatest man that
ever walked this earth. Every man
does not worship him as God, but no
man defames him. fle is the vision
and the hope of all mien.
When, in mockery, they crowned
him king with the cruel thorns, little
they thought that he would rule a
world at last—a world In which all
races vie with one another to render
him their homage.
Now comes again in the swing of
the years another Christmas day. May
It be a glad and a merry one for all
readers.

At Bethlehem the Star shines bright
above the Stable door;
By every road the Wise Men come
who never came before;
The kings, with all their Caravan,
keep watch upon the hill.
While Jesus sleeps on Mary's br’east
—and all the guns are still!
The plunder of the world is heaped
about that manger-bed.
Behold! the gifts the Wise Men
brought are stained an awful
red.
Poor Mary's face is white and
drawn, and Joseph's grim and
, set—
For older hearts, tho' slow to learn,
are slower to forget!
But to, the Star at Bethlehem above

No panoply of war is theirs, no flag,
