CHRIST MAS IS TEXT
Of THE REY. NELRS
Historical Events Leading
Up to Birth of Christ
Are Outlined.

The historical events leading up 10 the
birth OF Christ and the first Christmas,
IN its effect on the history OF the world.
We're developed this morning BY the
Rev. J. Heming Nelms. rector Of the
Church Of the Ascension, IN his sermon
before a large congregation
His text was from Isaiah XM:11,I2.
"Oue calIeth to me out Of SER. Watch
man, what OF the night2' And tEe
watchman said, The morning COM
eth"
The Rev. Mr.. Nelms pointed out that
SER WAS the home OF the E,domites,
who wOrshiped the demons o. darkness.
and were the enemies of the Israelites,
who worshiped the god Of light. "in
the text" he said, Jacob and Esau are
repre- eSented as coming from the land OF
SER, and from the descendant OF Esau
comes the cry, 'WaIchman. what of the
uight% addressed TO Isaiah, who, as a
prophet Of Jehovah, is, indeed, a watch
man upon a high tower"
He traced through the ages before the
darkness that hung over the world,
with the ever recurring cry for ,ne
light. and the time when Herod. hear
ing of the birth OF the babe, feared the
coming of light, for HerOd traced his
descent back to the land of SER. and
loved the darkness.
The coming Of the light, then. he COM
pared TO the coming Of the light on
Christmas Day, and urged welcome
for the light and Joy which that day
Will bring.

STORY OF WISE MEN
NOT LITERALLY TRUE
Dr. Van Schaick Declares However That Such Legends
Are Full of Beauty and Suggestion Christianity
Easy to Understand, Hard to Live.

The Rev. John Van Schaick, pastor
OF the Church of Our Father, declared
in his sermon this morning that the old
stories of the shepherds and wise men
of the east could not be literally true.
His topic was '''The Wise Men and
Shepherds Of Today"
1t was the annual Christmas service
The church was beautifully decorated
with palms, and special music was fur
nished by the quartet choir.
Not long ago a great scholar" said
the minister, remarked that one of the
chief obstacles Of the Christian religion
is the fact that where il addresses the
imagination it has been interpreted by
the reason, and where it is essentially
poetry it has been explained as prose.
Once a year, at least, we are delivered
from the bondage Of reason. We ac-
cept the lyric revelation. We explain
our meaning by a story.
The astroloCy Of the olden days is
not recognized today. Signs and omens
are no longer regarded. In the world
OF religion, as well as in the world
of science. we admit that stars do not
leave their places and move about from
place to place. These old stories Of
the shepherds and the wise men cannot
be literally true. But whether they be
prose or poetry. history or legend, they
are full Of beauty and suggestion.
Religion Is for All
Francis Greenwood Peabody has
pointed out a suggestive difference be
tween these two stories. In one ii is
the wise men who first came to the
Christ. In the other It is the shep-
herds. That said DR.. Peabody, illus
trates the same variety OF impression
today Many people now write as If
were for the maSi only They
make Of it a mystery, a philosophy
which only the scholars can appreciate.
Many people on the other hand think
that religion is for the plain people
only; good for shepherds, but oUtgrOwn
b. magi: a star that invites the super
stitioUs and ignorant to worship, but
to scholars only a new phe-
nomenon TO explore
My Christmas thought for today is
that these Christmas legends call 10 the
service OF religion both the wise men
and the shepherds Of today
Religion is not simply Tor the wise.
II is for the humble IL is not simply
for the humble. It is a subject worthy
10 engage the attention OF the highest
wisdom of the age.
The two things suggested by this
call are these:
First the fundamental simplicity OF
second, the need Of scholarship
IN tie church.

Nothing is more characteristic OF our
age than the better understanding of the
fundamental simplicity of religion.
Throughout the length and breadth Of
the Christian church We are coming TO
understand that the two things essenJisl
are love of God and love Of man. Upon
these essentials Jesus Christ built His
faith. The Christianity OF Christ may
be found today in the church and out
side the church. II may be found In
the synagogue. II Is the old Jewish
faith illUmined by the power Of a
matchless life. 1t may be found in
Islam, it may be found sometimes in the
great religions Of the east Christianity
is something easy to understand. II is
not so easy to live.
Nor should the Importance OF the
second proposition be forgotten. Not
only the shepherds with their simple
faith, but also the magi, the wise men,
are called TO the service OF the church
In the world Of science and of letters
IT is true that the drift today is away
from the church. We often hear that il
is because Of too much scholarshi -.
The old views have been changed ne
old creeds have been shaken. The n m
edy proposed is drastic If men ire
faithless and hereticaI, drive them cut.
II books are not approved, let them be
burned. II secular scholarship IS creep
ing into the college. the seminary or
the church, drive it out.
More Scholarships.
The legend Of the wise men tells
US, however. that the scholars were the
first 10 bring their offerings TO the
Christ. II scholarship has unsettled
faith the remedy is not less scholarship,
but more II a little learning has un-
settled faith. depth Of learning will re-

our faith. 1t viii rest not on the in

ITO get the shifting, changing. doubt
