A Poem From Mrs, Eby .,, — ('an This Be Christmas — What meaneth all this fuss and worry? Whence go these crowds to run and hurry? Why all the lights, the Christmas trees and the “silly fat man”? Oh, tell me please; why don’t you know this is the day when everybody should be gay? For this is Christmas. So this is Christmas, do you say, when everybody should be gay for this is Christmas; So this is Christmas, I hear you say. But where is Christ this Christ mas Day? Has he been lost among the throng? His voice drowned out by empty song? No, he’s not here you’ll find Him where some humble soul now kneels in prayer. There you’ll find Christ not Christ mas. But see the many fickle thousands who gather on this Christmas Day. Whose hearts have never yet been opened, or said to Him* “come in to stay.” In countless homes the candles burning; in countless hearts ex pectant yearning for gifts and presents, food and fun, and laughter ’till the day is done. But not a tear of grief or sorrow for Him so poor. He had to borrow a crib, a colt, a boat, a bed where He could lay His weary head. I’m sick of all this empty celebration, of feasting, drinking, recreation. I’ll go in stead to Calvary. And there I’ll kneel with those who know the meaning of that manger low; and find the Christ—not Christmas. I leap by faith across the years to that day when He appears the second time to rule and reign to end all sorrow, death and pain. In endless bliss we then shall dwell with Him who saved our souls from hell. And worship Him not Chirstmas! — M. R. De Haan, M. D.
