Revised version, Luke 2:14: "On earth Peace among men. The manger at Bethlehem Is the cra dle of social reform; Christ, the social reformer; the law of love, stronger than the doctrine of night. The brow pierced by thorns thought out the ocial reconstruction of the race, by which the thorns of poverty and ine quality, that pierce and pain suffering humanity, may be removed, and equal ity of rights and opportunity be se cured to all. And this Kingdom of God the centuries are slowly setting up on earth a perfect human society. Not churchlanlty, but Christianity. Mary's Magnificat, when the angel announced her as the mother of Jesus, Is the prophetic Ideal of His mission: "He hath scattered the proud. He hath put down the mighty, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things." See how this comes to pass. His mother was a Jewess. He was nourished In the lap of Judaism. Moses' legislation contemplated a harmonious society. The earlier Hebrews In part realized It, holding real property In common. By the time of the later prophets, society had changed, the peo pie had become tenants under land lords, and In the dregs of society a proletariat developed. Then arose men of deep spiritual force, of commanding Intellect Isaiah, Hoses, Mlrah-ressen-tlally reformers, crying: "The peor sre oppressed. Society Is corrupt. The rich are oppressors. But a new era will come. God will send a great prophet. He shall establish a kingdom of righteousness and peace." This wa the, Jewish Ideal of the Messlrh. Now take a bird's eye view of the soclnl conditions at the birth of Jesus. At Rome, In Cicero's time, 75 B. C, 12 per rent of the entire population were supported as paupers. Caesar, 60 H. C, found three-fourths of the people on public poor lists. Under Augustus when Jesus was bom, 200,000 persons In Rome alone were receiving out-door Where the fertile brain of man's as Cultivated as the ground. Will be heard the mighty paean. As It ululates along; And the swarthy Tennesseean Will assist in what will be an Intercontinental song. From the town of Cincinnati, To the peaceful isle of Guam, Where the natives, rank and ratty Die of degeneration fatty In the dead Pacific calm. From the plains around Seattle, From the hills of Santa Fe, Where the dashing chargers rattle Jn the mad pursuit of cattle, Will be heard our glad hooray. From the Del e loa Jardinlllos, Santa Clara, El Caney, Where the yellow Jack bacillus Comes to frighten and to kill us In his own peculiar way. And from other towns that queer us, Names of which the atlas tells Arrecife Layanderas, Guanahaeibibes, near us, Will be heard the chiming bells. Over hill and vale and hollow, From Missouri to Luzon, Over Birmingham, Kufala, Omaha and Walla Walla, Will the tuneful chime ring on; And from tropic Honolulu, OF TWO EVILS. Crawford Your wife no longer ob jects to your staying out at night. How did you win her over? Crabshaw I began Bmoklng the ci gars that she gave me for Christmas in the house. relief from the government. Similar conditions existed throughout t he empire; the rich were very rich, the poor very poor. In Judea, His birth place, Roman tax-collectors demanded everything. His father and mCither were at Bethlehem, "to be taxed," when He was born. So poor were they, there was "no room for them In the Inn." The cave-stable their shelter, the manger His cradle. Such were the social conditions; a curse had fallen on labor. The poor were the outcasts of society. So the great Social Re former was born. 'TIs a clear night. Angels come, not to the Emperor at Rome, not to Herod in his palace at Jerusalem, not to the rich and mighty In their pride of place and power, but to the lowest of the low, to shepherd-slaves watching their mas ter's flocks. And this Is the "glad tid ings" they bring: "On earth peace among men." Here, then, Is the key note of Christ's mission; not peace In a world to come, but peace on this earth; not good will to angels, but to men. Thrilled by the message, exactly fitted to their need, the shepherds seek the great Social Deliverer and find Him. not In the palace, or army, or uni versity, but a little babe, poorer than the child of their own hut; Joseph, his reputed father, a working man; Mary, his mother, a woman of "low estate;" they, slaves, His first worshipers. Trace His development. A workman In a carpenter's shop! See Him In workman's dress, as He speaks In pub lic for the first time In the synagogue of Ills native village. Hear His mcs snge. He opens the bonk of the ancient reformer and reads: "The Spirit of the Loid Is upon me, because He hnth an ointed me to preach glad tidings to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to cet at liberty them that sre bruised." The rest of His ser mon Is not reported. But we know what It must have been In substance from His later discourses. It Is the Over calm Pacific seaa, Will be borne to peaceful Sulu News of our expanding rule a Message from the Western breeze. From the towns of Guayanllla, O'er the warm Bahaman strait, Santiago, Aguadillo, Will be carried to Manila, Through the shining Golden Gate, Freedom's message In the pealing Of the merry Christmas bells New delights to men revealing. Visions fair, new Joys concealing, In their glad, triumphant swells. From the frozen Arctic circle To Samoa make a note Freedom's blessings, if they work. Ml Cheer the world, and sauce an' turkil Fit these fighting fiends to vote. Then, with milk and honey flowin' Free as water all the while. Spite of Malay and Samoan, We will keep this country goin' In the very best of style. Then! Ah, then, so unrelenting And so full of pride we'll be, So successful, unrepenting, That no more experimenting Will be needed, don't you see? And with clouds at night to screen us From the other planets' view, We'll divide the earth between us, Gobble Merc, and Mars and Venus And annex a star or two! A SOFT SNAP.

A CHRISTMAS SERMON. gospel of the Kingdom o God on earth, the message of hope to all the poor, the enslaved, the unprivileged. Thus He accepted and declared the Ideals of the ancient reformers to be His own. Nay, more, He chose as His speciaj helpers, twelve poor men, who woulii be In full sympathy with His Ideas. In the Sermon on the Mount He outlinei the new social order, its great princi ple being the Golden Rule, "Do untc. others as ye would that others should do unto you." His attitude to the civ ilization of His age was pronounced. He treated existing economic condi tions with fiercest Indignation; social oppressions called forth His keenest sympathy. Compassion Is the key word to His ministry. What followed? Crucifixion by the rich and powerful. But no cross or legion could destroy the great social Ideas He had lodged In the heart of humanity, idea Is Indestructible. First came Pentecost, a religious community In which "all that believed had all things In common." Next, out of cata combs and secret hiding places emerg ed brotherhoods of oppressed laborers, welcoming the1 good news taught by His followers, that all men were broth ers, children of One Father, who should share equally In a new society, called the "Kingdom of God." Here Is the se cret of the marvelous growth of the new faith In the first two centuries. This, then Is the great practical les son of Christmas. We have forgotten the origin of our own Christianity and Its secret of power. Its appeal Is to the yearnings of the poor and op pressed. It Interpreted and applied now, hs In the age of Its founder, Its morals, philosophy and spirituality are sufficient to create perfect society, to deliver humanity from the evils thst oppress It, and to assure the happiness of all men.
