\ CHRISTMAS SERMON.
In thin age of materelallam, when
the commercial spirit seema to be the
dominant Influence, it la well that
Christmas comes, although but once
in three hundred sixty-five days, to
remind us that there is more to this
life than mere achievement that
there rre heart qualities as well as
those of mind and body, and that
these should be nurtured with assidu?
ous care, Christmas Day is the
clearing house of our heart qualities.
Shaee last Christmas what growth
have these qualities slown'.' In our
daily Intercourse wit*-, our fellow-man
have ws been ktBdafi more liberal,
more loyal than ever before? Have
we tried to see the good in our neigh?
bor? Have we tried to bring Peace
on earth? "Paradise," says Kuskln,
"Was a place of peace. Tb* world
would yet be a place of peace, if we
were all peacemakers. Hut so long
as ws choose to contend rather v? 1th
our fellows than with our faults and
make of our meadows battle-fields
Instead of pastures, so long will the
Flaming Sword turn every way and
the gates of Eden remain barred close
enough, till we have sheathed the
sword of our van passions and brok?
en down by closed gates of our own
hearta"
In our own homes have we had
gaeeter tempers .which have given us
potae In conditions that would or
d atari ly Irritate? Have we been true
to ourselves and to those whom we
love? Has loyalty been the ruling
trait In our homes? Have we done
all thai ws could for the welfare and
happiness of our children?thoae
msglc souls by which, says Qoethe
"a house is transformed into a
home." In business have we
sv breed qualities of genero?
sity and conslderateness, as
v ell as of Justice, to those whom we
am ploy? Have we extended a help?
ing L:and to one In trouble, thus
manifesting a bigness of soul, or have
'e cr-yaied over to the other side, be
0aW*t our souls were narrow and lit?
tle and mean?
Have we given the best that was
in ua i? our .vork? Have we ohser

falling thus to realixe that, in wealth
and ssrves "all that we can hold in
our dead, cold hand Is what we have
given away."
Have we been slfilsh even In our
giving? A service given or t bounty
bestowed may be tainted with selfish?
ness, if one exoects a service or gift
In return. A cup of cold water must
be given "In My Name." free from
the pollution of self-interest, If It is
to have a blessing from above.
He give? only the wortMeas gold
Who give* from a seme of duty,
'Tis not what we give, but what we
share.
For the Rift 1 Ithout the giver is
bare."
It s not the policy or the practice
?if The Item \o s?rmonlxe; but on
these rare occasions ws msy not find
It unprofitable to take a retrospective
and Introspectve glance to ascertain
what ws have done and wh.r we
may do to make esch d ?y of our
Uvea a realisation of that promise
nho< y that startled the Ion. ly
shepherds upon Jodsa'l hills: Peace
on Karth. flood will to Men.
