Christmas Greeting.

All over the country. all over the
vorld-a few years hence 1t will be
also all through the alr-sounds the
greeting Merry Christmas! says an
exchange. On the sea and land. in
the p1lace and in the hovel, in the
hospitals and In the prisons, in the
asylrms amid the orphans and IN
the homes for the friendless AMI
for the age, wherever even two per-
sons meet who know and love the
story Of Christmas. the greeting is
exchanged. Where can there be a
parallel to the universal greeting?
Is there any other sentiment that
hassthe sovereigntr OF this cheerful
and heartfelt word?
It travels through the mails like
nothing so much as the doves to the
altars OF which the Scripture speaks,
for surely the sentiment fits from
altar to altar OF the hearts OF men
and Is as gentle as the dove. Grudges
and animositv vanish before the
waiting of Christmas greeting. the
smile OF hone illumines the counte.
nences OF those un'er the nall OF de-
preston, the 'impled cheeks IT The
babies seem like vsritable nnoSs for
fairy hiding as the l'ps eco in re-
spcnse to the Merry Christmas, with
the little emblem OF the day that
comes 20 the infant from Is loving
parent.
In the DAYS Of romance hostile
forces peseed upon the ield,
sheathed their sWor's AMI clasped
hands across the battle line, greeting
one another with the sentiment OF
universal good WILL; Merry CHRIST
mas has brlghtenef more hearts. has
healed more grievances, has brought
more happiness to the lives OF men
and women. has proved to be. the
talismanic sentiment for more home
reunions than anv other that has eve-
been heard In this old world.
Christmas atands for love and for
charity, for hope and for joy at the
frrition Of that long-made promise ~
the prophets Of the coming Of one
who should bring peace AMI good
will to earth; co the churches hold
their services and the people con-
gregate to join in singing or to lIs-
ten to the rendition OF carols, some
OF which have come down from ti'e
early ages CT the church. The chill
dren have their Christmas gifts, AMI
they are the very merrlest OF the
merry In their part!cination in these
annual Christmas festivals

A Christmas Thought.

The Greenwood Journal says:
"CNristnas. the time to make your
friends glad and all your foes for
give. Is approaching and within the
shadows Of its sweet light we will
sit and dream Of the SONGS of the
angels, which the shenherds heard
vhife watching over their flocks. End
the star which apre'red in the East
whl"n led the Wise Mon to the
n,anger where the, Child lay wrapped
In s"'oddllng clothes OF infancy, with
a Mother bendnIs anx'ously over its
form. Such a picture can but touch
our hearts anew.
''Ol Christmas day the wheels Of
indrstry will cease to hum a7i that
1aborlrg mass OF humanity will gath
er around the family f1resi'e and
t"He M the song OF this glorious
CAr:s+""B time. Some. 1t is trre.
are sad and desponde?t. but even
to them there ls comfort and conso-
la''o1 O. brighter an1 better dav
when tri'ls and tr!bu!ntions will
v+rish and men sha'l toil no more
and the sonss OF angels are sung.
Think OF how much better We
can er'ov orr Christmas II We will
only help the poor unfortunates to
forget trouble AMI feel that they
reel'v have friends n the world who
are Interested IN their welfare. In
marv homes the Title children have
no Santa Claug-think what this
world have nearc tn us when We
were children. 'Tis the little chill
dren who brighten the homes--let us
make them happy C1rlstmas!"

Trne Christmas Spirit.

The old message OF good will to-
ward men is the Christmas spirit,
and the hope is that all have been
cultivatlng that spirit ell the year
long. II some have not, however;
this week Is their opportunity, to
secure at least a fringe OF 1t.
The birth of Jesus of Nazareth is
the special occasion OF the festival,
but all are agreed that the beet way
to. celebrate that nomentous event Is
by keeping the old message Of good
will TO men fresh and active in the
hearts Of all.
TO be nlain and brief. save An e1-
change. the spirit OF Christmas 10
kindness toward our. fellow men-to.
ward the needy, the lonely, the an
fortunates In our civilizations COM
plex life.
Christmas Is the one great festl-
val of the entire Christian world,
and no one keepe It who does not,in,-
blhe that spirit of Kindness which
was Christ's. The angels Of 'Bethie-
hem sounded the note Of peace to
men. Of good will, and this note has
gone on gathering strength ana uni
versity down through the ages.
All the ceremonlals on Christmas
day ara outranked by. the general
feeling and deslre to Increase the
happiness Of others. For that is
what the Christmas spirit is. It is
not. tie cost OF the gift that counts,
but the spirit that goes, with It.
The world is growing kindlfer ana
better. and this is why each sue
ceeding Christmas Is greater than
INV that went before. Chr 'stmas and
SAINTS Claus and the Joy Of children
and the brightening OF the lives Of
the less fortunate are all great liv-
ing facts. sni 1t is these facts that
constitute the spirit OF Christmas.
Whoever has that spirit within his
breast has the true key to Christ
mas with all Its joys and happiness.
