The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1906-12-22

The Christmas spirit is in the air, and
it is doubtful if there is a city the size of
Bay st. LOUIS in the State that has
made more preparations for the holidays
than our own. The merchants have re-
sponded to the feeling of buoyancy that
the season creates, and they have loaded
the shelves and tables, and even the
floor space, of their stores with every
thing that the season demands, and the
majority of them have advertised these
goods in the special edition of The Echo
with a liberality, it might be said, un-
precedented. They have bought heavily
of holiday goods, and every one of the
establishments is a veritable exposition
of things that are beautiful and SEN
sible.

Christmas is eminently the children's
day. From the gray of early dawn-it
is the only day in winter when their
eyes open at that hour-at the latest
hour at night, let everything give way
to the little autocrats whose tyranny is
courted by every man and woman who
has any of the essence of love in the
breast. Romp and tumble and shout
with them. When another Christmas
comes, some of them will not be here,
and those that are here will by one year
be that much further from the royalty
that doth so fittingly become them.
Christmas is for the children-let every
thing bend to their enjoyment.

cHRiSTrIAS THOUGHTS.

/, Christmas is upon US. 1t is the festl-
val of the home and the season when
the hearts of the fathers are turned to
| the children, and the feet of the children
turn back TO the homes whence they
went out Little ones hail its coming
! with exuberant gladness, and older peo-
pie enter into its festivities with sub
dued pleasure, in which memories OF
home behind and hopes of the home
ahead are strangely mingled with pres
ent joyss w hat time it is for culu-
waiting domestic affections and invigor-
ating the virtues which root themselves
in these loves! w hence came our hrist-
ian homes? They are not found in pa
gan lands-dwelling places are there,
but not homes. Nor are they found IN
lands where Christian influences are fee
BILE and Christian institutions are formal
there are lodgings and eating houses.
The idea of home comes from Him who
though homeless upon the earth, hath
set the solitary in families-from Him OF
whom the whole family in heaven and
earth are named.
Accordingly, at this season our doors
should be wide open to his coming In,
and nothing else admitted which would
shut him out He knows how to enter
in festive occasion, and sympathizes
with human Joy as really as with human
sorrow. His presence at our feasts Will
not diminish their gladness, but exalt
their satisfaction. And now, while mer-
riment reigns in all our homes, let us
invite Him to sup with US Let the
children play with the Babe of Bethle-
hem among them, while the angels Of
Bethlehem sing over them Let the
youthful keep company with the earnest,
obedient Boy of Nazareth Let them
who come into the christmas season out
of life's busy cares come apart with Him
to rest awhile and be fed by His hand.

Let us once again make the old
probably an unnecessary = appeal to
those who feast on Christmas day to re-
member others, who, but for timely
charity, must fast while they feast. We
shall dine more comfortably possessing
in thought those sacred words, and be-
ieving in their implied promise -''In-
asmuch as ye have done to the least of
these we have done it unto me.''

Memorable is the institution of christ
mas. 1t is festival of the christian
church observed on December % as the
anniversary of the Savior's birth estab-
lished by Pope Telesphorus, who died
A. D. 1873, and throughout the subse-
quent history of the church the day has
been one of the most noted of Christian
solemnities. In olden times, confounded
with the Epiphany, it was celebrated in
the months of April and May. In the
fourth century, however, St. Cyril Of
Jerusalem succeeded in obtaining from
Pope Julian an order for ascertaining
the exact day of Christ's nativity. The
great theologians Of the time took as d
basis the tables of the censors in the
archives of Rome, and established the
day which has prevailed ever since.
