S s 1 Ur UKV. THOMAS U. MUKGOIIY. HRISTMAS, both in its ritual nnd in its sentiment, is almost as old as Humanity itself. As far back as you can go we find something very liko tho Yulotido festival a season of rejoicing, attended by n Bomowhnt boisterously joyful celebration. About Christmas thero is nothing that even approxi mates sectarianism or any kind of montal or social nar rowness or littleness. Its spirit is as broad as humanity, and all men of whatever race, creed or geographical status, are invited to, and are ontitlcd to, tako part in its glad festivities. Very pitiful is tho human being who, in tho midst of tho Christmas season, feels liko flocking off by himself, like Dundreary's bird. It is a season, not for isolation and loneliness, but for followshlp and universal brotherhood, as. though wo were saying to ono another, "ALL HANDS AROUND 1" with nobody loft out. Whon wo pauso to think of tho way in which tho Christmas originated it becomes easy for us to understand why tho season is everywhere mado to be the occasion of deep rejoicing and multiform gladness. Beyond a doubt tho festival had it3 birth away up in tho frozen North, in tho region of tho aurora borealis, where tho battle between tho cold and the- heat, tho darkness and the light, is the longest and tho most ter rible; nnd it was quite natural that at tho turn of tho sUn, when tho light and warmth began to return, men should turn themselves loose in a sort of paroxysm of Joy. And by degrees the festivities of tho men of tho far north worked their way southward; for even there tho return of tho sun meant lifo to men, meant the sunshine and heat without which tho human raco must perish. The hyperboreans had their Christ, Baldur by name, Baldur tho good, the gentle, the compasslonnte, who, taking pity on them, destroyed tho Frost Giant and saved then) from death. Wo cannot very well blamo tho hyperboreans if, at first, their religion was largely of a material typo tho Worship of the sun, for Baldur was no more than tho sun idealized. Christ not the petty Christ of the professional thoologian, but tho Christ of Humanity stands for OPTIMISM. All is well. Let not your hearts bq troubled. Sufficient unto the day is tho evil thereof. In. reality there is rib e'vil, the thing wo call "evil" being but good in tho makirig. "I am come that ye might havo life, not death; confidence, not despair; glad ness, not weeping and wailing." Away with all grouchiuess nnd greed, nil doubt nnd despair 1 This is the season of love and good will, of hope nnd gladness. Joy is always and everywhere "orthodox" and in order. If you are able to do so at no other time, of tho year, during the Christmas" fl'mo resolve to have thcffiPcourago of your noble sslf, aiid,to let your worthiest and bravest sontiment'asscrt itself to the full. Lqt joy be unconfined ! Again bo is said, "ALL IS WELL." Tho Sun is not going to be conquered by tho Frost King; the nnarchists are not going to overthrow the Constitution of the United States nnd tho govern ment that was inaugurated by our venerated Washington; in spite of tho little politicians who are ready to "give up to party what was meant for mankind," tho ways and means of bettering the condition of mankind will surely be foun'd; the lifo of men and nations shall not havo been in vain; and as for Old Death, who awaits us at the end of the little earthly way, for all that wo to the contrary he mny turn odt to bo our best friend. Those who have crossed the north Atlantic in winter need not be reminded of the uplifting and joy-giving influence of tho gulf stream. Those who have felt it can never forgot it. Once fairly upon tho mysterious "river of the sea," the chill and numbness of one's body and soul depart, the rigid muscles relax, the pent-up feelings let themselves loose in singing, and chat, and all-round sociability and enjoyment, nnd all the world seems to be refashioned for the better. And such is Christmas, with its good will and good cheer, its bravo confidence and spontaneous gladness. It is tho gulf stream of life, warm ing us into the sentiment of a common humanity, with its unselfishness and comradeship, nnd imparting to us nil the glad sense of security and victory. THE MAX AUENC1' OPENS I'OR' BUSINESS IN NORTH PLATTE THIS WEEK. I A now agency having various lines of sorvico has opened in North Platto this week undor tho mnnngomont of R. II. Palaoy.
