THE CRADLE OF Bethlehem.
A CHRISTMAS U

There is something peculiarly signifi-
cant and touching in the picture which
the Christmastide makes prominent
that of our faith beginning in the
cradle of a helpless child. The
Manager of Bethlehem is the SYM
Dol of a universal faith. Before that
symbol we feel hat Christianity should
never become a vigorous theology, divid-
ing men into hostile camps; never be
surrounded by pomp and the conditions
of selfish, worldly power. Because it
came to the world even as the purest
blessing and the deepest joy come to the
households a newborn babe! Is not
the common Christmas picture signifi-
cant? What is it gives to the word
Home its solemn and lovely meaning?
What draws to a common center all the
discordant elements of the household
and changes them to harmony? What
gives dignity to love, deeper meaning to
labor, and brings all hearts into a gener-
Gus rivalry of sweet and disinterested
love? The presence of the frst-born in
the home. Then married affection re-
veals the divineness of its life. Then
wife and husband begin to know the
beauty and mystery of self-sacrifice.
The love that m with the tiny nest
ling is the first faint shadow and sugges-
ton of the kind of love which God has
for His human children. Believing the

dom of God

Now from every tower and steeple
Clang the bells with a gladstone sound,
Showering down on the hearts of the people
The tidings glad of a year new found.
Ring away sorrow and pain and care,
Demons that brood DER the lives of men.
Let not the sound of a worlds despair
Fill our hearts with a deeper pain.
Welcome and greetings; o! new born year,
With thy fair white page on which to write
The manifold changes that greet us here,
Which our hearts in sorrow or joy invite.
Write them down with a golden pen,
Blessings many and joys a few.
Seek thy thoughts from the hearts of men
Who have dared to do right and lived to b
true.
Set thy hand to redress each wrong,
And never falter in doing right,
If to help a fallen comrade along,
Or do each duty with all thy might.
Duties will come with every day,
Scorn them not if they seem but small
From God no action is hid away,
And He a ~recompense finds for all.
So write thy deeds with a golden pen,
Write them Town for the book of life
Write them dow in the heart of men,
And be a hero in every strife.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1885-12-24

Infinite to be perfect in wisdom and pur-
ity, we feel when we first look into the
face of our new born child, that there is
but little in our moral imperfectness and
spiritually unfinished condition to COM
mend us to the divine affection. We
feel that there is something in our lives
which foreshadows 4 purer and nobler
existence than any the world has yet
known. We are conscious of an unful-
filled promise of spiritual beauty in our
souls. Then we think of the ~tireless pa
tience with which the divine law is de-
veloping humanity. OF how we trample
under u passionate feet the blessings
of health, happiness, truth and peace
which still spring up again in our path.
The radiant truth is sent to man and he
scouts its warnings, hews down its affairs,
kills its prophets, crucifies its Christs.
And when the first cradle comes to the
household we seem to catch q glimpse of
the meaning of the MYSTERY that lies in
Gods slow education of the race. In
OH love for the tiny, helpless stranger,
we seem to see a reflection of Gods love
to his children. Go back of our mere
blind instinct of affection. Analyze our
love. What is that bit of unconscious
humanity to u.s.: Not much, indeed, eX-
cept a creature upon which to hang
bright Hope! Upon what a love be
conferred? A speck of human life; a bit
of appetite; a meaningless wall! There
are no qualities of mind, soul or body
upon which the heart can rest. There
is nothing but expectation, nothing but a
dim prophesy of a future blessing. Why
should we waste time and strength, make
sacrifices for this mindless morsel OF
man? We know, when we reflect, that
the true dignity of that love is not ob-
~iective, it is purely subjective. We do
not think of the worth or WOrthleSsness
of the little creature for whom we spend
and are spent. Our love is rooted not
in what it is but what we arei In that
rich love for our first born child we have
the blessed hint of the real truth of that
redemption which is the central doctrine
of the gospel. The fullness of Gods
love springs not from what we are, but
from what He is. And beside the first
cradle we learn the lesson of Christian
self-sacrifice. Not the worlds lesson of
bare, joyless, self-renunciation, but
Christ's truth of a love so full and free
and JOYOUS that in its heart it finds Civ
inc a greater blessing than receiving.
Besides, as has just been limited, the
Manager of Bethlehem is the true symbol
of a universal faith. The poorest, low
lest homes know this sovereign blessing
of the presence of children. The peas
ant and prince alike share the quaint

Hapless is the lot of man who, in this
Christmas time, has no gift to give or NO
gift to receive. Melancholy must claim
him for her own and life to him must be
d condition of utter and unrelieved
fires are kindled on countless hearths,
when all mankind is given over to mer-
ry-making and well-wishing, when Kris
.Kringle usurps all other rule, he who
has no home is indeed a woful wight;
and he who has a home and yet provides
no Christmas tree is a wretch for whose
neglect there is no extenuation.
1t sometimes goes hard with those who
cling to the notion that Christmas Day
should be an occasion of quiet, devout,
c~ontemplative religious ceremonials,
that the popular observance is marked by
feasting, hilarity, good humor, and the
giving of gifts. Such persons are not
your true philosophers. Christ himself
declared that his followers would be
known by the fruits of their devotion.
And generosity is most assuredly a
Christian grace. Because there may APP
pear a very long stretch of sequences
between the Alteration of the Magi and
Mr.. PickWick's frolic under the mistle-
toe, they are sequences, nevertheless;
for, while the solemn ceremony of the
one was a recognition by indirection-in
the one case there was kneeling in the
presence of the Christ-child; in the other,
a manifestation of that temper of kindli-
ness which is the sweetest illustration of
the Christian spirit.
The interchange of tokens of affection
ate regard on Christmas Day is quite in
accord with the injunction to love our
neighbors as ourselves. The fundament-
al principle of the Christian religion is
exemplified in the gift. All the forms
of the days celebrations are protesta-
tons against selfishness. Christ con-
stantly insisted upon s%elf-denial, %self-re-
straint and Standardization. Ones

Christmas.

1t was Julius |. who in the fourth GEN.
tury, after q long contest between the
Eastern and Western Churches, fixed
upon December 25th as the day for cele-
5rating the nativity of our Redeemer.
Down through the centuries that passed
/ since that event no Christmas day has
come, in which joyous happiness has not
entered the door of every family in chris
tendon, so far as the will of its men,
bers would permit. As the day ap-
proaches in which Santa Claus is to
make his annual visit down the chimney
to fill the stockings of little children
from the bounteorIs treasures he is credit
ed with carrying from home to home,
how the hearts of the innocent little ones
throb with pleasure!
As the Years of their lives advance
| and they learn that Santa Claus is after
all a synonym for their parents and
other of their dearest friends. the fading
nothing from their continued interest in
the coming of Christmas.
Old and young alike on that day prop
erly strive to Danish care, and be happy
during the festival that celebrates the
birth of the Saviour of the world. 1t is
OF that day especially that the %injunc-
ton Love thy neighbor as myself
ought to be remembered, and in loving
deeds be put into full practical operation
by every man, oma and child in
christendom. On that day the Child
was born at Bethlehem who preached a
gospel that has brought comfort and sol
ace TO the hearts of countless millions.
Our comfort, %solace, JOY, happiness are
all increased in proportion to our readi-
ness to obey the injunction of our Mas
ter. Christmas Day of 1885 will present
peculiar opportunities for the practical
application of the Redeemer. Let every
maj who is not the, to a disastrous. ex-
tent, victim of the business crisis that is
abroad in our land, remember his neigh
Dor on that day to the extent of causing
him to know that Christian benevolence
is a reality and not verbal phantom.

He viii miss the chief delight of the
Christmas season who fails, by word or
deed, to brighten some dark and cheer
less life. Even the poorest may, by a
kindly word of hope or encouragement,
set the joy-bells ringing in some heart
lying in the eclipse of despair. And
those who have been blessed with q pro-
fusion of bounties-whose lives are al
ways bathed in sunshine-how much
can they do, in these Christmas times,

duty to others is variously enjoined in
the scriptures. Therefore the Christ
mas gift comprises the essence of the
religion He taught-a religion which, in
sitting charity into the hearts of men,
was to make all men happier through
the efforts of each individual to make his
fellow happier. The modern method of
commemorating the Advent is entirely
fitting, even though we give ourselves
over to The Good Genius of the Christ
mas-tree, with only incidental regard to
the bells that ''knoll to church." The
most important observance is that be-
meath the branches of the ~gift-bearing
evergreen, where all hearts grow young
in the atmosphere OF good-cheer and
loving-kindness. 1t is there that each
one sees the happy results of his own
5eneficence and finds his full reward in
the consciousness of the pervading glad
ness. Such is the blessedness of practi-
cal Christianity; such the beautiful out

ameliorate and compensated religion

elves and genii of ancient lore have
not thrived in the popular fancy. Even
such superstitions as the Puritans brought
over were forgotten or ignored by their
children. The occupation of the New
World kept their minds too busy with
