CHRIS rMAs.

The silence of the solemn midnight,
centuries ago, was broken by angels
chanting over the birth Of a babe,
GLORY to God in the highest, and on
earth peace. good will to men," Now
Ohristendom pauses in it's industries,
that it may commemorate the nativity
OF that babe, the son of a Jewish peas
ant girl.
1t does we'll. Many who observe
Christmas Day have not hailed Him as
Master; but on believer and unbeliever
has fallen the benediction Of His life.
Whatever of contrast there ia in poll
tics, society, religion, between the first
century and the nineteenth, is due to
the advent of that Jewish peasant.
Paganism left man as it found him
Christianity has elevated him. Alone
of all religions it has met the cravings
Of the human heart When He whose
birth Christmas celebrates came into
the world, all men, save the Jew, were
without God and without hope. He
revealed unto them God, the Father
and the power of an endless life.
Might had been consecrated as
rightly, cruelty as law, and sel6shness
as a principle. This Jewish peasant
taught men so to pray, that to the
fatherhood of God they should link
the brotherhood of man, and thus
learn justice, mercy. and love. These
seem elementary truths to Christen
dom, but to the Pagan world they were
the darkest of unsolved problems.
Again, we say, the world does we'll
to pause in it's Industries, and let the
wheels of civIliz alton stop that it may
ponder over the debt it owes to that
One who spake as ''never man spake. "
Well do ten thousand or ten thousand
thousand bells ring to commemorate
the birth of HIM, the influence of
whose life as a jewish peasant has
been felt for almost twenty centuries
and whose influence has ever been to
make men purer, uobler, and more

The children of Belgium have a
charming Christmas legend about
Santa Claus's pony. They always
place thsir wooden sabots on the win

and fodder for the dear Christmas
pony" In the early morning they
run on tiptoe to look; and behold! the
hay is all gone, and the shoes are brim
ming ove with toys and sweetmeatsI
Then the children clap their hands
with glee, aud wished they could only
have walked in time to see the pony
munching his oats. That would have

take his sister Betsy in the buggy with
