four" may be a pathetic word when
we think of all the sufferings Christ
had to endure on account of our sins,
yet it is a joyful word when we think
how we are to be redeemed on account
Of those divine sufferings. And, further
more, when we know that Christ to-
day in heaven is glad that he was able
to suffer for US in order to save US,
what a happy day Christmas ought to
be for all! Salvation for all, life for
all, eternal emancipation for all who
will today kneel by the side Of the
manger! Am right when l declare
that the angelic messenger of the first
Christmas morn should be the most
honored OF all messengers when he
announced the redemption Of the
world through the birth of Gods Son
In the manger2
The Nativity, in the next place, meant
joyful tidings, because by the incarna-
ton of the Son of God in the body Of
a little babe the human race was able
to grasp the great doctrine that God
was a God of love and not God Of
hate or Il God Of indifference. 1t Is
one fact to preach truth; it is another
to preach truth so that it is under
stood by the common people. 1t is one
fact to talk about God as a spirit; it
Is another to talk about God as Christ,
who was bone of our bone and flesh Of
our flesh and who was tempted as we
are tempted. God was the same God
before the first Christmas morn as he
is today. But since jesus Christ came
to earth we, the common people, have
been able to understand him in way
we would never have been able to do
without the incarnation.
Let me illustrate how the beauty of
Gods love is simplified in Christ's life.
Charles Lamb and some of his bosom
friends were met together one even
ing in London house to talk on liter
ary topics. During the conversation
some one said: "Think if Dante was
to come to life again and enter this
room! How we would welcome the
man whose feet had trod the fiery
Of the inferno, whose eyes
had pierced the twilight, whose lungs /
had breathed the still, clear air of the
Mount of PurgatOriO, whose mind had .
contemplated the mysteries of glory /
in the highest heayensw Suppose"
said another, shakespeare was to /
come to us tonight, Or Milton or Homer
Or VirgilY' "Ah," said Lamb, his
whole face frightening, 'hOw I should
ding my arms up! How we would
welcome those kings of thoughtful
nenr' Suppose" said another, Christ
was to come, what would we dor
With that Charles Lambs face chang
ID instantly as he said "Of course we
would fall upon our knees and wor-
ship him"

from the beast OF burden. Some one
kicks the oxen to make them arise be-
cause they are taking too much room.
Even here space is at a premium. Aft
er the kind hearted hostlers have
thrown some straw into the stone crypt
or manger Mary is placed in the hum
bic couch among the bleating Of the
sheep and the lowing of the cattle and
the neighing of the horses whinnying
for their oats.
This is the most important of all
nights. 1t is awfully solemn. All his
tory will hereafter date itself from or
toward this scene-A. d. and B. G.
Upon the Judaean hillsides the alright
cd sheep are running hither and thith-
4r, looking for their shepherds. Ami
mails intuitively know when something
unnatural is about to happen. The cat
tie can smell the blood long before they
are driven into the slaughter houses to
be killed. When the South Carolina
earthquake shook Charleston a few
years ago the dogs erOuched at their
masters feet, and the birds lowered
dIOuuui ultSAAh5 SHAAAA ~l4S0 "a AS.--i -S
though human beings alone could pro-
tect them. The horrible picture of
DOre's flood, where a lioness with her
whelps trembles upon a rock by the
side of an affrighted woman holding
in her arms a babe, is not geological
absurdity. Animals in times of danger
naturally seek the protection Of man.
There is a strange silence broOding.
The shepherds anxiously grip their
slaves and prepare for an unseen bat
tie, which they feel sure is about to
come.
Milford chronicle., 1904-12-30

great joy that Jesus came to save,
shall not you and on this glorious
Christmas Sabbath day start forth to
announce, as did the angelic messenger,
that Christ has come to save all who
will believe ON him and be saved? Can
any man hear this good news and not
want to spread it abroad? Can we
fully realize that through Christ we
shall live and yet not want to go forth
TO herald the tidings that Christ has
come TO save our neighbOrs as well as
ourselves?
Shall we not be as anxious to spread
abroad the news that our Saviour is
born as were our ancestors to scatter
The news. July 4, 1776, that the birth
Of new government had taken place
In old Independence hall of Philadel-
Dbia? When the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was about to be signed
couriers were waiting upon the edge
Of the city to carry the news to every
part of the new nation. The signal
was to be given to these messengers
by the ringing of the old Liberty bell.
The aged sexton stood in the belfry,
his trembling hands upon the rope.
When the last member had put his
name to the immortal document the
grandson of the sexton ran up the
rickety stairs, crying, Ring, grand
father. ringg The old bell, worth to
American sentiment more than its
weight in gold, rang so loud that its
heart broke. The couriers dug their
spurs into the horses flanks and rode
from town to town, from village to
village and from city to city. They
rode as fast as Paul Revere did when
he carried the news Of the British
marching into Lexington and Concord.
They rode carrying the news, the glad
news, that a new nation was born.
Shall not we do as did the joyful pa
triots? Shall not we carry the news
of Christs birth not only to our
friends, but to the distant islands of
the seas?
