KAItTII PEACE TO MEN OK r.nnn
WII.I.."
Civilization will everywhere be decked
in 1 oliday attire, exchanging gifts and
showing such evidences of fraternal am
ity ami universal peace as would make
the earth a paradise were it perpetual.
For on that day are celebrated the proph
ecies fulfilled, the plentitude of God's
infinite mercy, the exhalting c-f man's
dignity, the union of God and man in
Christ the Redeemer, and on that day the
Christian feels his confidence renewed
that He who canie on earth and suffered
to save the sinning will not withhold
Wis blessing from mankind.
Thut divine pledge of "Peace on earth
to men of good will'' was exemplified in
an especial manner in the lives and labors
of the early founders and teachers of
Christianity and has been a constant and
eloquent rebuke to fierce fanatics and
preachers of violeuce and hatred in every
age. Armed only with the divine com
mission to teach the Truth they faced the
mightiest empires of the world and they
triumphed. The humble stable was ex
alted above the kinyly palace and learned
philosophers bowed in awe before the
unlettered fisherman. The civilization
of the world accepted the new Dispensa
tion and with one acclaim selected the
ursc nristmas uay as the great monu
ment by w hich the world's history should
be reckoned and nil true philosophy be
guided. So complete has been this vic
tory of Christianity that, outside of those
who are made glad on Christmas Day by
Christian teaching, the world is today a
barren desert of barbarism and savagery.
Let civilization then rejoice upon 'this
sacred holiday and keep its traditions
forever green that the conquests of Chris
tian truth may still continue; spiritual
darkness dispelled', religious discord dis
placed iy Christian chanty, and man be
made more worthy of his redemption and
Ins mission. On Christmas Day let peace
and amity everywhere prevail. Let the
kindly tokens of affection be exchanged.
Let the little children be made
nappy with their Christmas toys.
Let enmities be hud aside and friend
ships pledged anew, for such a celebra
tion m.iKes us better Christians and bet
ter citizens.
In the genial glow of the common
festival of joy the ice of mutual prejudi
ces melts and disappears, and we grow
to better appreciate the blessings of unity
and tlu folly of selfishness and discord,
fn such surroundings are youth's un
crtain footsteps guided arig'ht arrd man
hood's wisest resolutions formed and
kept.
In this spirit and to this end does The
Herald bid all its readers a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year.
