CHRISTMAS DAY.

Upon this day the nativity OF the
Lord Jesus Christ is celebrated through
out the civilized world. As the sun
rises upon successive miles Of mother
earth, over every section there arise
the anthems and the prayers OF Chris
tan men and women, and the glad
shouts of children who are learning TO
lisp the name of their Redeemer.
No matter if there be doubts as to
the exactitude of the date. This is the
day we celebrate. Upon this day there
| should be love and charity between all
men. While among us are the vicious;
men who steal the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in men who quote the
words of the Savior in order to give
vent to the venom OF hearts reeklnR
with hatred; it is good to think that
there still survives much of the love
and charity, the kindness and humility
taught by the Prophet. Priest and King.
Shout the glad tidings. exultingly sing;
Jerusalem triumphs. Messiah IS King.
