This Day.

The good Saint Nicholas, the warm est friend of youth, the usher of Christ mas, the gladdest incident of the year. The good Saint Nicholas, the patron of the young. of clerks, of travellers, of sailors, and why, we don't know, of pawnbrokers. Perhaps the prodigal liberality of the good hearted saint made him their patron as well as their patron saint.
 What matters it now that Christ mas is not the anniversary of the Ma tivity which could not have occurred about the time of our December 25 for that is the season when long and sometimes torrential rains drencn Pal estine and shepherds on the plains do not watch their flocks by night. But Christmas is more than the anniver- sary of the birth of Christ. Throughout the whole civilized world it stands for it and recalls it as no other anniver- sary which men and children celebrate, brings back to mind the event which it is intended to commemorate. Christ mas makes Christians more Christian and makes sinners almost Christian.
 Christmas brings to the surface all the latent joy of the world and also brings up with it much of the hid den sorrow. We who lament the un- equal distribution of happiness in this favored land, whose climate amel- iorates the pangs of want, where none are rich and where none are very poor, as riches and poverty are understood, do not realize the distressing difference between the fortunate and the unfor- tunate in the populous cities un- til the terrible inequality is disclosed by the festivities of Christ mas whose biting cold adds to the keen enjoyment of the one and to the bit ter woes of the other. Then the contrast between comfort and squalor seems to us sharp CT. To the suffering the day is one of sorrowful remembrance, so they believe, but in reality their griefs are hallow- ed and made easier to bear through the coming year. Joys are also puri- fled. This is a mental effect of Christ mas. A material effect is the relief of much sorrow which is more plainly brought to view on this sacred day when lessons of charity are taught to the more fortunate and the less fortu- nate are made to believe that the world is better than it had seemed to be.
 Thoughtfulness of the poor and stricken increases year by year and measures for their relief are continual ly extending. The hearts of men are warming in the cheerful blaze of Christmas fires. Christmases are com ing closer together in the year, not waiting on anniversaries. With some Christmas is daily and when it is so with all there will be one universal and never ending Christmas, to which men have given the long name of millen- nium. We praise thee, O, Saint Mich olas, the friend of youth, of clerks, of travellers, of sailors and of pawn brokers. We praise also Santa Claus and Kriss Kringle. Hail, these trium- virs who divide their power over the world of joy and for whom the bells are ringing this day.
