Message of
AN It be posslblo that It la
again Christmas?
Kverywhere we have been
so confronted with the sign
about doing your Christmas
shopping now. that we hu.l
come to think only of shopping; for many
weena thla Incessant appeal, advice,
warning, exhortation, challenae. has been
stajisg u la the face, and one is tempted
to think that after all, there was not
so much consideration for tha people be.
hind tha countera, and all that altruastlc
aympathy which was exploited, aa there
waa an appeal to coma early, coma often
and stay ate; In other words, "do your
Christmas ahopptng early'lso.
However, that there was much early
ahopplng done la doubtless trus. nH
know some people who absolutely decided
days and oaye ago that on the Satur
day before Christmas they positively
would not go down town at all.
Itow materialistic how very physical,
our Chrlstmaa times have become.
The IYotoatant church (outside the
Episcopal and Lutheran church) scarcely
even go to church on Chrlstmaa Day, get
ting alt the religious part ot the affair
out of the vay, so that there will be
nothing "unpleasant" to do on Chrlstmaa
Dayl
Of course. If Chrlstmaa Day fall a on
Sunday, u Is religiously observed, but If
not, tew indeed are the Chrlstmaa Day
church services in those churches which
are not of tho Roman Catholic or Epis
copal or Lutheran branches of the fulth.
Yet these devout church members who
get the Chrlstmus services over, the
Sunday before Christmas? fall not to
celebrate the Advent season of Santa
Ciaus on Christmas Day.
In faot. Santa Claua rather than the
Rabe of Bethlehem seems to be the pat
ron ealnt and original Inspiration of the
Chrlstmaa Day.
Blessed be Panta Claua, would be the
most appropriate title for the modern

How doth tha welkin ring,

Tu hear the people sing.
For Panta Claua has come tonight
To make our hejirta rejoice,
Po let u sing with sheer delight

Now blessed be our Panta Claua,
The Jolly Chrlstmaa king.
We're all devoted to hi cause,
Huch presents doth be bring.
So lit tier children "round about
Oh. list to my advice.
Go greet your Panta with a shout,
Methlnks It would be nice.
For he Is Just the kindest king
That ever came your way.
So let us all hi rale sing.

Christmas to the Musicians
Love. If It were not for that, the
would be no permanent Chrlat'rnas.
It Is not only the spirit of giving, for
often the gifts one receives lire the gifts
which would have been sent to someone
else. As a writer in Harper's Magaxlne
saya: "Forgive us our Christmas, as we
forgive those that Chrlstmaa against us."
(This revised version waa published In
the Chrlstmaa "Lite").
There la the danger of overlooking the
true thought about Christmas, just a
there la about other feasts. Aa a friend
said the other night, when we were dis
cussing this subject, "we have no holi
days any more, they are all holidays."
Our Christmas Day la a day of feasting,
ot filling the inner man with dainties, of
receiving presents, (for we far oftener
hear the remark, "What did you get?"
than the remark "Whnt did you give?"
Notice this, tomorrow, just aee how many
times you will be asked what you "got,"
compared to the number of times you
are asked what you "gave." The Christ
mas Day theater la always crowded: the
Chrlstmaa Day party la always on hand.
And yet ChrlstmaJ Day waa once a holy
day, and the festlvitlea began the next
day, BL Stephen's Day, or Boxing Day
and lu '"ye olden time" laated for twelve
days, till Twelfth Night.
Bo It la with Thanksgiving. Who ever
thlnka of Thanksgiving as anything but a
Foot-ball festival and a great Dinner?
Turkey Is the sacrifice ot the day; and
the football is Its sphere.
Fourth of July Is a national day.though
not a holy day, and yet It celebrates the
holloHt thing one can think of in relation
to ' man Liberty, and Independence ot
Mind and Body and Estate. We celebrate
it with baseball games and picnics and
fireworks and explosions, and accidents
and deaths.
KaMer Monday we do not notice at all,
and ICastcr Sunday Is the millinery show
at the church parade, and the annual
visitation to the church of tbosa who do
not go at other times, that Is, ot course
providing the day Is fine, and the clothes
came on Saturday night.
The Chrlstmaa thought la much, In dan
ger of being overlooked In the modern
craxe for expensive and extravagant giv
ing of presents, which one aa a rule,
really cannot afford, and Kdmund Ham
ilton Sears, who was a Unitarian minister
In Massachusetts some plxty or seventy
years ago, suggested by the true Chrlst
maa Idea In one of his several beautiful
Chrltmas hymns when he wote of angels
who sang the flint tidings to the shrpards
In the Judaean fields:
"Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled.
And slill their heavenly mualc floats
O'er the weary world:
Above Its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,.
And ever o'er Its Babel souuda
The blessed angels sing.
"Rut with the woes of etn and atrtfe
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-straln have rolled
Two thousand year of wrong:
And man. at war with man. hears not
The love eng which they 'bring:
O hush the noise, ye men ot strife.
And hear the angels atng."
The harmony which la ta Immortal
souls, as Bnakespeare says, we cannot
har. because "this muddy vesture of
decay doth grossly close It in," and If
we would get rtd of eutne of that muddy
vesture that war and atrtfe clothing In
which out thought are clad we mlgM
hear the music la our own souls and
thus catch an echo at lean of the lore
song of tha angcU.
