s'Peace on earth, good will to men,
So rang the angel chorus In early
morn the day the Christ was born.
And what did it mean? Was it pro-
phecy some day to be actualized in
human life on this earth Nineteen
hundred years have slipped by since
then and the human race has been act
ually mounting towards the ideal of
the anger chorus. No more war! No
needs of millions laboring and train
ing and spending human energy for
that which satisfieth not and enriches
not human power and genius in quail
ity and quantity turned in channels OF
productiveness and arts of peace.
And 10, man laboring four and six
| hours a day at that which Is con-
genial to him and Ills wife and little
ones have enough and to spare. More
time for self Improvement, more time
! for enjoyment and elevating pleasure,
| then a nobler manhood, sweeter
womanhood and an uplifted race.
But how about greed and selfshness
and larger opportunities for self ag
grandizement and miserly centraliza
ton of wealth? But it is also to be
good will to men," Human hearts are
to be different, and the largest good tt
the largest number is to be the watch
word. Benevolence and philanthropy
are to enter the open door towards his
fondest dreams of trade or profession
al and productive power.
When will it be fully realized? The
present realization and study OF it,
cause leads to the assurance that tina
when" will be when men more full!
trust the God of Heaven and obey Him
No propaganda or theory of socia
progress and reform that does not talk
into profound consideration the law
of God and the revelation Of His viii
in Jesus Christ will ever succeed. TIL
Christmas season is suggestive O
what might be should men give them
selves up fully and continuously tt
the spirit which actuates them as the,
plan for Christmas enjoyments ant
Christmas pleasures.

REV. FATHER AUGUSTINE,
Pastor St. Joseph's Church.

The work of our redemption began
on Christmas day, which feast is, as it
were, the beginning-the first link in
the chain of graces which Gods mercy
and love have offered to mankind for
their publication and sanctif1cation.
With justice, therefore, do we call the
festival of Christmas the mother of all
festivals, for if Christ had not been
born we would not have a single re-
ligious festival throughout the year;
no Circumcision. no Epiphany, no
Easter, no Pentecost, no feast of the
august mother of the Goldman and of
the Saints; nay, if Christ had not been
born, there would be no sign of Christ
ianity; no Catholic Church; we all
would be languishing still in the dark
ness of error and sin and heaven
would remain closed against us for
ever. But since Christ, the Savior, is
born, the Christian era with it's mex.
haustible riches of graces is opened
to us, for the child, who today lies poor
and helpless in the crib, is come to
destroy the kingdom of Satan. to ex.
plate our guilt and to redeem us. Hence
1T is that every Christian and well
meaning heart is filed with Joy and
gIadness, and 1t seems but reasonable
and Just, that the church should cele-
brate with more than usual pomp and
grandeur the; great Christmas day, that
so we may wildly represent to cur
selves and employ for our salvation
the inexpressible treasures Of grace.
which on this day have been impaired

REV. e. C. JOHNSON,
Pastor Church Of the Advent.


Christmas is the day consecrated by
tradition as the birthday of Jesus of
Nazareth, the moral and spiritual
fight of the world. The exact day, or
even year, is not known. 1t was in the
sometime before February 4, B. c. The
year in which we are now living is
supposed to be the nineteenth hundred
and seventh year after the great event
which forms the basis of our present
era. This method of computing mod
ern time from the birth of Jesus was
not originated however, until the early
part of the sixth century. Modern
scholarship has since shown probable
error of four years in this schedule,
Christ being actually born at least
four years before the date fixed by the
calendar. The place of His birth was
Bethlehem, in Judea. He is called
Jesus Of Nazareth because He was
brought up in that town. residing there
in humble obscurty until He began
His public ministry at the age of
thirty. He rarely stepped outside the
limits of Jewish territory. Though the
Jews as a nation rejected Him, yet is
He their greatest contribution to the
moral and spiritual progress of man
kind. After a brief ministry of two or
three years He was crucified at Jeru-
salem on political charge of treason,
which no one took seriously, and on a
religious charge of blasphemy; of be-
ing in some sense one with God, which
did seandalize the religious leaders of
Is day and nation. Yet, 1t the new
spirit which He brought into the
world and which has changed the
whole aspect of civilization since His
day, be the practical fruit of this
nnien with God, then we do we'll not
to cruelty, but to crown Him in our
hearts this sweet holiday time, re-
membering His words when He said,
ut is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive"
Christmas is so named from the
union of the two words Christ" and
mass Christ Is the official name OF
Jesus as the promised Messiah of the
Jews, and means the Amounted one
MASS is the ancient name of the
Holy Communion, or Last Supper Of
Jesus with His disciples before He
suffered. This supper has ever since
been regularly celebrated by His fol
lowers on Christs Mass, or Christmas
day, as it was called. The custom i!
still kept up by the Episcopal ant
Roman Catholic churches, being re
garded by them as the historical linl
between Christ's first appearance ant
his second coming at the end of tn
world.
