aMI) It came to jiass in those days, Ohat there' went
out a decree from Caesar .'\uiru.stus, that all the
^ ^world should be taxeil. (And this taxing; was
first ma<le when Cyrenius was first jfovernor of .Syria).
And a'l went to be taxed, every one into his (rwn city.
And .1 t»sej»h also went up from Galilee, out of tihe city
of .Nazareth, into .ludea, unt4i thi* city of David, which
is ralbsl Bethlehem, (iKTausi- he was of the house ami
lineaKe of David) to be taxed with .Mary his esf)ous<‘4|
wif**, beiriK kfii-at with child. .\nd so it was, that, while
th«y wer«' then-, th»- day- were accomplishtsl that she
ab<njld be d«'liv»‘n*<l. .And sh<* broujcht forth her first
born Son, and wrap]>t‘it Him in swaddiinx clothes, and
laid Him in a maiit(«-r; iN'cause there was no riMim for
th«*m in the. inn. •
An»i tht-ie were in the same country sh«*ph«*nis ubid-
inif’ III the field, keeping watch over thidr flock by
nifrbl. .\ntl. b>, the anirel of tin- L<ir<l cam** upon them,
arid the iTiory of the Ijoi«I shone nuind aliout them:

thi in. Fear not: %i, b«‘hold, I brinx you ifood ti<iintrs
of irroat joy. which shall Ik* t«» all pisiple. For unto
yon is tnori this liay in the city of Daviil a Saviour,
which I- Christ the l.ord, .And this .-haH be a sijfn

Henry Van Dyke,
From “The S^iii it of ('hristmas"
It Is a yoinl tinny to observe Christmas day. The
mere maikiny of tiim-s and seasons, when men.ayroe to
stop w’ork and make merry toyether, is a wise and
wbole.some custom. It help.s one to fr-el the supremacy
of the coinmoh life over the indivitiual life. It reminds
a man to set his own little wTitch, now ami then, by the
jftx-al cbK-k of luimanity wfik-h mns on sun time.
Bui there is a belter thiny than the oiisprvance of
OiristTnas day, and that is, keepiny Chrii^tmas.
Are you wHliny to foryet what yini have done for
otik-r people, and to rememher what other people have
Ambc for Ufou; to ignore what the worbi owes you, and
to think what you owe the world; to put your rights
in ’the background, and your duties in the middle dis.
taace, and your chances to a little more than your duty
m the foreground; to see that your fellowmen are just
mm real as you are, and try to look behind their faces
to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that prohahly
the only good reason for your existence is not what
you are going to get out of-life, but what you are go
ing to give to life; to close your book of complaints
against Che management of the universe, and look
around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds
of happincaa—are you willing to do these things even
for a day? Then you can keep ChriaCmas.
Are you wiHing to stoop down and consider the needs
and the desires of little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old;
to stop asking how much your friends love yxMi, and
ask yourself whether j’ou love them enough; to bear
in mind the things that other iieople have to bear on
their hearts; to try to understand what those who live
in the same house with you really w-ant, without wait
ing for them to i«*il you; to trim your lamf) so that it
will give more light ami les.s .wioke; and to carry it in
front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make
a grave fur your ugly thought.s, and a ganlen for your
kindly feeling-, with the gate open---are you willing
t«i do thr-se th.ngs even for a <lay? Then you can keep
('•hristmas. .
' .Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest
thing in the world—stronger than hate, stronger than
evH, stronger than death — ami that the blessed life
which began in Bethlehem i,900 years ago is the image
of brightness of the Eternal I»ve? Then you can kbipp
ChrisCma.-. And if you ke<*p it for a day, why not
alwa>'s ?
- Jtiit tJ-ou* can never kee;) it alone.
Jesus Christ
Thou shall love the- I.,ord thy Go<l with all thy heart,
ami with aK thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is th«- first and greate.st comman4lment.
.Ami the -ecomi is like unto it. Thou shall b»ve thy
neighbor as thyself.
On these twu cvunmamlme'nts hung all the law and
th«‘ prouhets.
