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.
