UNION WITH OTIIKtt WOnt.DS.
III. Again, I remark that born that Christ
mas night In tho vlllnso barn was sym
pathetic union with other worlds. Tho only
skepticism I hau over hud about Christianity
was an astronomical skepticism which mid.
"Whj would Uod out of tho heavens and

Its surroundings. Now I see all tho worlds

weep and when 0110 sings they all sing. !

night in tho village barn; and, as I want to
miiko my.dlscourM) nccumulatlvo nnd climac
teric, I begin, in tho first plnrc, by tolling
you that, that night, in tho llethlehem
manger, was lorn (I.) encouragement for nil '
tho poorly started. lie had only two friends '
thoy Ins parents. No satin lined crndlo, no '
dol'cnto nttcnt ons, but straw, nnd tho cattle, '
nnd tho course Joko and banter of the camel
drivers. No wonder tho mcdlfEVnl painters '
represent tho oxen as kneeling beforo tho I
infant Jesus, for tliero wcro no men tliero at
that tlmo to worship. From tho depths of j
what iwvcrty ho roso, until today ho is
honored In nil Christendom, nnd sits on tho
Imperial throno in hcuveu.
THE MIGHTIEST NAUE.
What uamo Is mightiest today In Christen
dom! Jesus. Who has moro friends on
enrth than any other belngf Jesus. Deforo
whom do tho most thousands kneel in chapel
and church nnd cathedral this liourl Jesus.
F01 whom could ono hundred million souls
bo marshaled, ready to fight or dlof Jesus.
From wliat depths of poverty to what height
of renown I And so lot all thoso n ho nro poorly
started remember that thoy cannot bo moro
poorly born, or moro disadvnutngcously,
than this Christ. Let them look up to his
oxamplo whilo thoy havo tlmo nnd eternity
to imltnto it
Do you know that tho vast majority of tho
wor'd's deliverers had barnliko birthplaces I
Luther, tho emancipator of religion, born
among tlio mines. iSlmkcspoaro, tho emanci
pator of literature, born in n humble homo
at Btrutford-ou-Avou. Columbus, tho dis
coverer of n world, born in poverty at Genoa.
Hogarth, tho discoverer of how to mako art
accumulative und adminlstrativo of virtuo,
born in a humblo homo at Westmoreland.
Kit to and Prideaux, whoso koys unlocked now
apartments in tho Holy Scriptures which had
never been entered, born in want. Yea, I
hnvo to tell you that nluo out of ten of tho
world'H deliverers, niuo out of ten of the
world's messiahs tlio messialis of science,
tho messiahs of law, tho messiahs of medi
cine, tho messiuhs of poverty, tho mosiiahs
of grand bcnovolenco wcro born in want.
I suppoo that when Hcrschel, tho great
astronomer, was born In tho homo of n oor
musician, not only ono star, but all tho stars
ho afterward discovered, pointed down to his
manger. 1 suppose when llaytlu, tho Ger
man couqioscr, was born In tho humblo homo
of a poor wheelwright that nil tho angels of
music chanted over tho manger. Oh, what
encouragement for thoso who aro poorly
started: Yo who think yourselves far down, I
aspire to go high upl
I nir your holy ambitions today, and I
want to tell you, ulthough tho wholo world

Ono who, one Christmas night about eighteen
hundred and eighty-eight years ago, was
wrapped in swaddling clothes mid laid In a
manger. Oil, what magnificent encourage
ment for the poorly started! ,
OOOD WILL TO MEN. I
II. Again, 1 havo to tell you that in that
village barn that night was born good will
to men, whether you call it kindness, or for
bearanco, or forgiveness, or geniality, or af
fection, or love. It was no sport of high
heaven to scud Its favorito to that humilia
tion. It was sacrifice for n rebellious world.
After the calamity in Paradise, not only did
tho ox begin to gore, und tho udder to sting,
and tho elephant to smlto with hit tusk, and
tho lion to put to bad uso tooth nnd paw, but
under tho very tree, from which tho forbidden
fruit was plucked wcro hatchod out war and
revengo and mallco and envy and Jealousy,
and the wholo brood of cockatrices. I
But against that scene I set tho Bethlehem
manger, which says: "Bless rather than
curse, endure rattier than assault," and that
Christmas night puts out vlndictivciicss. It
sayst "But-ntho your Bword, dismount your
guns, dismantle- your batteries), turn tho war
ship Constellation, that carried shot and shell,
Into a grain ship to tako food to famished
Ireland, book your cavalry hones to tho
plow, uso your deudly gunowdcr in blasting
rocks und in patriotic celebration, stop your
lawsuits, quit writing anonymous letters, ex
tract the sting from your sarcasm, let your
wit coruscate but never bum, drop all tho
harsh words out of your vocabulary 'Good
will to men.' "
"Ohl" you say, "I can't exercise it; I won't
exercise it until thoy npologlzo; I won't for
glvo them until they ask mo to forglva
them." You aro no Christian then I say
you aro no Christian, or you aro a very in
consistent Christian. If you forgive not men
thoir trespasses, how can you expect your
Fleavenly Father to forglvo youf Forgiva
them if they ask your forgiveness, and for
give them anyhow. tihaku hands all arouud.
"Good will to men."
Oh, my Lord Jesus, drop that spirit tnta
our hearts this Christmas hour. 1 tell you
what tho world wants moro than anything
else more helping hands, mora sympathetlo
hearts, moro kind words tbatnoverdio, mors
dirpuiitiou to give otlicr peoplo a ride, and to
carry thu heavy end of thu loo.-! und glvt
other peoplo tlio light end, and to ascribe
good motived Instead of bad, und U find our
happiness in making others happy.
Out of that Helliluhuiu crib lot the bear and
nngels charioted Tho world defended by
nngels, girdled by nngels, cohorted by nngels
clouds of nngels. Uenr David cry outi
"Tlio chariots of Uod uro twenty thouvmd. I
Even thousands of angel." Hut the mighti
est angel stood not that night In tho clouds
over llethlehem; tho mightiest nngcl that
night lay among tho cattle tho Angel of the
new covenant I
As tho clean, whito linen sent in by somo
motherly villager was being wrapcd around
tho little form of that Child Euicror not n
cherub, not n seraph, not an angel, not a I
world but wept and thrilled and shouted '
Ohl yes, our world has plenty of sympathiz
ers. Our world Is only n silver rung of n
great ladder, nt tho top of which is our
Father's homo. No more stellar solitariness
for our world, not n friendk-wt planet spun
out Into spaco to freeze, but n world in tho
bosom of dlvlno maternity. A star harnessed
ton monger.
IV. Asaiu, I remark that that night born
In that village barn was tho offender's hope.
Somo sermonlzcni mny say 1 ought to havo
projected this thought at tho beginning of
tho sermon. Ohl 110. I wanted you to rise
toward It. I wanted you to examine tho cor
nelians and tho Jaspers and tho emeralds and
tho chrysalis beforo I showed you tho
Kohlnoor tho crown Jewel of tho ages.
I Ohl that Jewel had n very poor setting.
Tho cub of bear is born amid tlio grand old
pillars of tho forest, tho whelp of tho lion
takes its first step from tho Juuglo of lux
uriant leaf mid wild flower, tlio kid of goat
is born in cavern chuudellcrcd with stalactlto
und pillared with stalagmite. Christ was
born in u baro barn. Yet that nativity was
tho offender's liopo. Over tho door of hcavon
nro written thoso wordsi "None but tho sin
less may enter hero."
"Oh, horror," you say, "that shuts us all
out" No. Christ camo to tho world in 0110
door nnd ho departed through another door.
IIo camo through tho door of tho manger mid
ho departed through tho door of tho scpulcher,
and his one business was so to wash away our
sin that one second after no aro dead thcro
will bo no moro sin about us than about tho
eternal Uod.
I know that Is putting It strongly, but that
is what 1 understand by full remission. All
crated, all wushctl away, all scoured out, all
gone. That undergirdlng and overarching
and Irradiating and impnradislng possibility
for you and lor mo nnd for tho wholo race
was given on that Christinas night
WHY WE UMNO KI.OWUIIS. 1
Do you wonder wo bring Uowcm today to
celebrate such an event! Do you wonder
that wo tuko organ nud cornet mid youthful
voice mid queenly soloist to celebrate It! Do
you wonder that Raphael and Rubens and
Titian nnd Giotto nud Uliirlaiidujo, mid nil
tho old Italian und German painters gnvo the
mightiest stroke of tho pencil to sketch tha
Madonna, Mary and her boy!
Ohl now 1 see what tho manger was. Not
60 high as the gilded and Jeweled und em
broidered cradle of tho Henrys of lhiglaud,
or the Louises of France, or tho Fredericks
of Prussia. Now I find out of that llethle
hem crib fed not so much tho oxen of tho
stall as tho whito horses of Apocalyptic vis
ion. Now I (hid tho swaddling clothes en
larging nud emblazoning into an Imperial
robo for u cohqucror. Now I find that tho
star of that Christinas night was only tho
diamond sandal of him who hath thu moon
under his feet Now I como to understand
that tho music of that night was u not com
plete song, but only tho stringing of tho in
struments for a great chorus of two worlds,
tho buJ to bu carried by laitlily nations
6aved, und tho soprano by kingdoms of glory
won.
Oh, heaven, heaven, heaven I I (hall meet
you there. After all our imperfections aro
gouo I shall meet you there. 1 look out to

Tho truth is that ns regards height, all that

Occasionally tho animal will leavo tho

for 11 second train, or get on 0110 going to
Albany. It does not coufluo its travels to
tho Central alone, but takes occasional trips
to Ilinghamtou over tho Dclnwuro and Hud
