\CK toward Judea turn the battling hearts
Qj Of men in these the creed and canon
days;
From soaring spires and armaments to where
The Nazarene once walked the fretted sea;
From gilded domes whose crass magnificence
Hides not the hovels in their shades to where
The Master lay that Galilean night °
Beneath the stars; from velvet pews and gold
And silver glittering to where H<; said:
“To visit them that suffer and are sick
Is true religion, undefiled. 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.
