all her sadness and loneliness and the
nasty things the people had said about
her when they turned her away from the
inn at Bethlehem, and how even the cold
and cherries stable and the great big
cattle that had frightened her all were
forgotten, and how glad and happy aad'
satisfied she was when the little stranger
came. Then all her thought was not
How uncomfortable am l. but How can
I make this little one comfortable?
And so from that very first moment
that Jesus was on earth we have been
taught that the way to be really comfort
able is to forget our own discomfort in
the care of some one else"
With that, and bright smile at part
ing, the little fellow ran away. and the
old man was left thinking il this Christ
mas for him might not also be different
and if his aches and pains and loneliness
would not disappear if he, too. should
lose himself in bringing joy and comfort

r T is about thirty years ago, as the
mind recalls it. that on the eve Of
Christmas great was the excitement
- in the town of Waterford. Amid the
falling snow and treadinG rapidly on
hard frozen surface, men, women and
children were hurfying through the
streets. Holly. Ivy and all the
greens of the famous Green Isle
were being carried into the several
homes. The bells Of the Roman Cath
Ollie Cathedral were ringing their silver
chimes Good will and good humor. be-
gotten of national life and Of bracing air,
was the spirit Of the night. Room upon
room of every home was all alive with
light and laughter, berry and mistletoe.
The gladness of the day soon to come
seemed to triumph over everything. and
every child was calculating just how far
Santa Claus would respect its wishes.
Soon came the tired. drowsy feeling Of the
long walks, the careful undressing and
the Santa Claus expectations" and then
the sweet sleep. How long? Dreams Of
we'll filed stockings, weIl-drilled soldiers,
dolls and candy are disturbed by the
strains of sweetest music. 1t is not yet
o'clock of Christmas morning, but the
marching choir of our own cathedral are
filing the air with the beautiful song.

Santa Claus is forever vindicated. What

FATHER CHARLES A. RAMM

There are mountains OF iniquity to be
brought low. or there are the crooked
ways OF tortuous, dishonest conscience
to be made straight. Until these things
be done our Lords coming is for US
vain. There was no room for him at the
Inn There is no room for him in some
hearts. They are already filed with
other guests, usurpers OF Gods place In
his own temple. No wonder the world ts
not better. The world cannot be thor
oughly Christian until the individuals in
1t are Christian. and the individuals can.
not be Christian until Christ lives in their
hearts; and he will not live in any heart
with his enenies-with pride, Injustice.
lust and all wickedness.
These latter things stand In the way Of
reformation and they all proceed from the
hearts Of men. Reformation must be
from within Good comes from the heart
as well as evil. Make mems thoughts,
motives and beliefs right and their
outward lives cannot be far wrong. Put
the spirit OF Christ in their hearts and
their lives will be Christlike and the
world will be Christian. Peace sang
the angels, peace on earth''-not to all
only peace to men Of good wiIl.'' There
is no peace for those OF evil win but that
semblance of it which is death.
We all celebrate the feast Of Christ
mas, Around the day have grown
up many customs-some good. some
Indifferent. some bad. The engross-
ing nature OF modern life has a
tendency to give a purely secular char
acter to those customs and to substitute
for the divine significance OF the festival
an earthly meaning. and for fits spiritual
joys the pleasures Of an earthly feast.
Our ears hear too much Of the deafening
noise OF business activity, or OF the alb
sorbing hum Of social whfsperings. Our
eyes see too much OF the binding glare
Of electric art or the soft glow Of social
lamps. We cannot hear the heavenly
harmonieS OF the angels voices nor see
the brightness OF God that shone round
about the simple shepherd.
King Herod and the chief priests and
scribes Of the people Of Jerusalem saw
not the Star OF the Magf for the splen-
dor OF worldliness which enveloped them,
just as the guiding light OF the polar
star vanishes in the coarse blaze OF the
MONDAY.
The fullness OF Christmas blessings
comes only to the heirs OF the believing
shepherds, to those who have eyes OF
faith and hearts Of love.

method Of propagating his gospel by sac
ridce. 1t took this man years to see It
before he fully realized that the only
lasting power Of the gospel must be
through love. It was because Of this that
the angels sang. They knew that the love
Of God was coming into the world as Il
had never been revealed before and then
they sang, Peace on EARTH
When our thoughts go back through the
centuries and we recall how much blood
shed there has been In the name Of re-
igion we need not be at all surprised that
many teachers among the Jews instruct
the boys under their care that the suf-
ferings and prosecutions that their race
have undergone are due to Jesus Christ,
but one who studies the gospel Of Christ
knows well that these prosecutions have
been because Of the absence Of the love
of Christ in the hearts Of those who aid
these things. The whole spirit Of Jesus
is one Of peace. He gave no authority TO
his followers to persecute those who diff
feTed from them, and they who have 50
prosecuted have widely missed the spirit
of the Son of God. The absence Of Christ
in his church. and not his presence In 1t
has been responsible for wars and perse-
cutions. Christ came to bring peace ard
wherever he gets thorough hold OF the
human soul there is peace. and to Just the
extent that peace is absent from that soul
to that extent is the Son Of God absent
As the spirit Of Christ wins in humanity
we see more efforts at individual and ma
tional peace. The song OF the angels Is
yet to be realized and peace IN all the
earth is yet to be the rule. We can
afford to be patient while the teachings
of Jesus are gaining sway over humanity
and we can afford to live in hope OF the
day when we shall all be brought nearer
to each other because we have been
brought nearer to our Father.

N HE coming of the Infant Child on

The great loving humiliation of the in
carnation was the placing of those treas
