Whoso Shall rightly worship God must worship Him In spirit and in truth.” The world doth tire Of hollow show and sounding litanies That echo from the bannered plains of War, Of vestments crusted with the gems that mock The starving bodies and the hearts of men. It longs to hear the simple gospel: “Love Ye one another. Whosoever gives A cup of water to the least of these ' s - Shall give it unto Me” World weary souls Are turning from the blasphemy of Pride, And back across the crimson centuries They go, back over fields of hate and strife. Back over pathways red with blood And lighted with the fires of stakes and gleam Of swords—until at last they see the Star Of Bethlehem and stand beside a holy Child. And there, beneath the sky where angels sang For joy, the story of two thousand years Is blptted out Upon the new command No bloody seal n set. “Good will to men And peace on earth," the gentle message runs. C HRIfTTMAA la Indeed the holiday of humanity and by that token no leaa In- tereeting than humanity Itaelf. The rich current of Ita observ ance baa to carry all the be- queata of other a gee—their idee la. their bopea. their recol lection*. the beliefs that bad won the right to live, the gra cious. Joyous customs which bad woo the same right by helping or heartening men. aa well aa all that oar age can contribute to it'from the ma terial. artistic and spiritual •Me. The modern feeling has made a place, as the feeling of each age la sore to do, for the aaood of carnival as well as the mood of faith. It can weave Into the fabric of the holiday time the little epecta- elea of fireside felicity, the af fectionate pledgee of friends, the cheer of the loaded family board or banquet table, tbe taper light* and organ mimic af cathedrals, tbe off cringe of moeic and tbe drama and all the noble product of tbe artist and tbe artisan. In a sense Christendom takes inventory of Itaelf at this time In each of ita thousand activities. One of the benefactions of tbe holiday Is that It gives men tbe chance to do thin and puts them In the mood to do It. It Is the last and greatest "truce of Ood.~ The pause It Im poses Is not so much on war's alarm, although the din of con flict grown ever feebler the while the message of ‘'good will unto men” deepen* Into deed and custom, as it Is on the abfiorptlnus and distrac tions of an age so wrnp|*ed up in Its pursuits that It hardly has time to look almut It. At ('brtntmastkle in* n do look about them. That Its atmos phere could make a bad man out of a good one or a gener ous mao o it of a selflab oue is one of the |iaradoxe* whereof perhaps we must look to the genial Action of Dickens for complete verification. But It doss make men kinder, more thoughtful, more serene, than their wont.
