Rev. Mr.. Utter in Unity: Although
the majority of those who voted at Gin
cinnati that we condition our fellowship
on no dogmatic tests probably did not
intend by their votes to take nom
theistic, nom Christian position, the vote
has been widely and almost universally
understood to SO commit the Western
conference. The question now arises how
far are We becoming responsible for this
misunderstanding, and to some of us it is
becoming simple duty to say that that
was not what was meant? The question
was understood to be one of fellowship
The question to most of the voters seemed
to be: Shall we adopt creed that will
exclude some good, broad-minded peo-
pie who would like to work with us? And
the vote meant simply and only: We do
not wish to exclude these. Now a very
different Interpretation has been put
upon this vote, and however it comes to
pass, it has been made to mean very
different thing before the general public.
1t has been made to mean that Western
Unitarians wish to throw off the restraint
of theistic or Christian belief; in regard
to Christianity or theism wish neither the
thing nor the name. 1t is time something
was done about it. 1t is time to announce
that an effort will be made at the next
meeting of the conference to rescind the
action taken at Cincinnati and say some
thing which the public will rightly under
stand"

The earliest mention of the 25th
of December as Christmas Day is found
In an ancient catalogue of church festi-
walls about 354 A. D. And it is surprising
to see with what alacrity the date was
received and the Nativity celebrated
throughout Christendom. It seems as if
the world had been waiting for this festi-
val of divine and human childhood, and
was ready to welcome it at once with
songs of joy. In the year 800 it was
already celebrated in Rome by vast null
titudes thronging the churches. Twenty
years later Antioch had taken it up with
great popular enthusiasm. And in little
more than fifty years from it's earliest
suggestion, the observance of December
25 as the day of the Nativity had be-
come the universal practice of Christians.
st. Chrysostom, in a Christmas sermon
preached at Antioch, called it the funda-
mental feast, or the root from which all
other Christian festivals grow.-Dr. Hen
ry j. Van Dyke.

jesus Christ belonged to the true
race of prophets. He saw with open
eyes the mystery of the soul. Drawn

the greatness of man. One man was true
to what is in you and me.-Emerson.
