OF the occasion-the sudden folding
back of curtain above the altar, re-
vealing manger-cradle and box wax
doll. The exultant outburst Of organ
and choir in a magnificent Gloria in
Excelsis accompanied the stately pro-
cessional of the entire staff of priests
and acolytes, chanting and swinging
censers while they bore up one aisle
and down another, back to the high
altar, the same doll, dressed in cam
brio and lace, and nesting in the en-
brace of the richly appareled bishop.
Every incident of our last night in
Jamaps camp in Bethlehem recurs to
me with peculiar distinctness. How,
as the darkness deepened, the red,
blinking eyes of the charcoal craters
of the wonderful portable stove pre-
sided over by our accomplished chef
in the door of the kitchen tent-the
night being breezeless-shone upon
over our heads, while our quiet talk
went on of what had happened in the
old town behind us.
We spoke longest of David's Great
est Son, and of the Birth that was to
draw the eyes and thoughts of all
nations to the little city on the hilltop
in the land of Juda.
At midnight, kept wakeful by the
rush and burden of thought, I arose
to look from the tent door upon the
watchful stars that here have a con-
scious majesty I had never recognized
elsewhere, and wondered anew where,
amidst the glittering hosts "marshaled
on the nightly plain" had flashed the
Star of Bethlehem. For the last time
in our eventful series of journeyings
we saw the dawn redden the noun
tains of Moab, the thin crescent of
the waning moon dying, while we
gazed, before the brightness of the
coming sun.

The Christmas Spirit
BY D. D. THOMPSON
Editor Northwestern Christian Advocate.

The Christ spirit influences the
world to-day more than at any pre-
vious period in history. This is
specifically manifest in the more
general observance of Christmas by
the presentation of gifts to friends
and the considerate kindness dis
played toward all classes of helpless
and dependent persons in providing
on Christmas day for their pleasure
and temporal needs. This, however,
is the least manifestation of the
power which the teaching and spirit
of Christ exerts upon mankind. 1t
is especially seen in a more kindly
attitude of men toward each other
The millennium has not yet arrived,
and the struggles between the ma
tons and classes will continue for
years; but as the spirit of Him after
whom Christmas is named finds lodg-
ment in human hearts, the animos-
tiles which separate men in antagon-
istic relations will diminish, and the
time will come when the Christmas
spirit will be displayed during the
entire year as it is now displayed
upon each Christmas day. What the
world needs most for the right solu.
ton Of its serious problems 10 the
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1906-12-14

joined in the advent of Christ with
solo and choral song as He left the
bosom of the Father to become the'
child of Mary in the manger at Beth
lehem. This festival is still the most
joyous feast of the church. It makes
childhood more beautiful and gloriousr
and it lightens the burdens of age
and it's triumphant prophesies. In
the chill of midwinter in northern
climes it kindles a fire Of hope and
Joy in every home and heart. 1t is
prophetic of the golden age when
Christ shall come again, when evil
shall be overthrown, and when the
song of a redeemed humanity shat
sweep over the universe.
BY the gifts which characterize this
season we commemorate Gods great
Gift, the unspeakable gift of His Son
to a world lost in sin and wandering
in darkness. No one can rightly estt>
mate the blessings which f1ov very
year to all classes and conditions or,
men from the tender memories and
gentle charities called forth by the
remembrance of the Holy Child,
Jesus. His birth has exalted the
poetry, the music and the art of the
centuries. 1t has changed all social
customs and religious rituals. 1t has
given a new glory to human life and
new trend to eternity. This is the
time when all bitterness should be
forgotten, all family feuds reconcilets
and all life glorified. 1t is unspeak.
ably sad that in the name of Jesus
Christ Russian murderers are slaugh,
tering the Jewish people, the ancient
and historic race which gave us the
Christ It is cause for profound
humiliation that superstition, bigotry
and virtual idolatry still abound !.
der the shelter of the Christian name.
