a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

OF all seasons of the year when Jolllty
and good fellowship is made manifest,
Christmas takes the lead, Soon the bells
will ring out and the greeting "a merry
Christmas will fall upon the ear. 1t
seems only a short time since last Christ
mas, but exactly twelve calendar months
havei rolled around since the bells pro-
claimed the message as commemoratlon
that Christ has risen. Winter, Spring,
Summer. and Autumn have come and
gone, and with them countless changes.
Christmas wonld not appear Ike Christ
mas unless we took long look back,
and in contemplation Of the months gone
by bestow some thought, at least, to what
has taken place in the whirl of time.
Births, marriages and deaths have all
taken place. and each have carried with
them group of changes, which are work
ing other changes. and will do so 10 the
end of time. All festivals carry with
them certain associations. The new year
makes one think of good resolutions and
better luck; spring, OF the coming OF flo
wers and it is then that the thoughts of
youth turn lightly to love; midsummer
means holidays commencements. ram
bles by the sea or among the mountains;
and Autumn. the harvest, long evenings
and cosy firesides Christmas means
much more. II means reclamation OF
'glad tidinss "Peaee .s! good VIII
Towards Men" 4 gathering of friends,
good cheer, which includes So much the
interchange of gifts. and reunion Of old
associations. Christmas is essentially a
Christian festival, as its name implies.
and wherever the name of the Rcdeemer
of mankind is recognized there Christ
mas. In our Northern homes Christmas
10 always associated with cold weather
frost and snow and ice, aud the emblems
Of Christmas, after the crop, are the holly
and the mistletoe. Still in the jungles of
India, the bush Of Australia the sandy
wastes of Africa, and in the southern
portions of our own land, Christmas is
kept, though with different surroundings.
Everybody likes to be at home on Christ
mas day, but everybody cannot, yet they
can think OF those at home and wish them
. merry Christmas, though miles of land
and sea intervene. They can think of
Christmas days that have gone by, never
to be recalled, and not to be recalled if it
were possible, but still, like pleasant
dream, the memory retains the picture,
growing more misty year, by year, yet
never fading, t.. the curtain is rUng down
in tie last act. Vast numbers of the
great human family have little to look
forward TO at Christmas. Want and
misery and wretchedness are their only
portion Struggles to do right met with
coldness and rebuffs too often, and a
strong sense that the worlds goods are
ill divided Yet while all cannot be
made happy, many can, one of the brigh-
test features of the Merry Christmas
Time Is to help others to be merry too.
To give gifts to the poor, TO feed the,
hungry and clothe the naked, and to feel
as we gather around the festive board
and Join in the jovial song that We have
raised up one poor heart and made it
excIaim Merry Christmas.
