Our Christmas praise to Thee. o God.
For Love personified
In Christ the Babe of Bethlehem,
In Christ, the crucifed.
Who greatly lived his life for us
And daily showed the Light,
That We might know Thee as Thou art
And worship Thee Alright.
Send Christ anew into the world
The Love that maketh whole,
Rich gifts of grace divine impart
To each awaiting soul.
All that which selfish is, o God
From US this day do take,
Thy holy spirit gracious give
Our lives enlarged to make.
Help US this day to realize
The Christ in us, though dim;
Grant unto us the joy supreme
OF comradeship with Him.
The Christmas spirit let us keep
Through all the coming year;
Whatever life may bring to us
Be conscious thou art near.
These original lines, the Christmas
greeting of one of the best women of
Kansas to her friends, tell the real
import of the hour. He who asks
''Why?" here finds his answer.
There is but one panacea for the
ills which come with the turning of
each cycle of the clocks hands, and
that seems to be that all pervading
word, Love. The other day about
half a dozen little unkempt girls, all of
them apparently poor, stood in front
of a Kansas avenue store looking into
the window at some ten-cent dolls.
The little bright eyes betrayed we'll
enough their hearts desire. A young
lady in passing noticed them. She
went inside and bought enough of the
little wax baby images to satisfy the
yearning hearts which were outside.
The glee of the little girls was rare
but the lesson was more rare. Those
little girls will know it soon-the
years will not be long. But the young
lady who made them happy, knows it
how.
This is but an humble example, but
it is not different than the divine love
which Christ brought into the world.
The Great Saviour loved his fellow
men-that young lady loved those
poor little girls.
There is nothing left to men any
how but memory. He who tolls over
against the mountainside has the
wounds on his hands healed with the
passing of the days, but if his work is
poorly done, if he has harmed some
man through that day, time only in
sinuates itself deeper into his regrets,
and these grow and grow until they
become burden. But little kind
Illness. little act of unself1sh devotion
to another, a helping hand here or
there as you go through your devious
paths. is in reality the outcropping of
the divine love, of which every man
is possessed.
1.-THE Christmas spirit let US keep
throughout the coming year" With
it we will keep sweet memories,
heart's-ease, and a permanent under
standing of the love of that great Man
who walked by the sea of Galilee
1900 years ago.
