CHRIST'S DAY

Men differ as to the divinity of
Christ yet all men within the in
fluence of christianity agree that he
was the supremest personality born
into the world. If divine he was
subject to all the temptations of hu-
mainly; if human he rose above
temptation with the radiant conf
dence of a God; if he wept it was
over the indifference of Jerusalem
whose children he would gather
under the glory of his love; if he
exulted it was at the matchless
triumph of his teachings wrought
out by his death.
Tennyson says: IT two could be-
come one they would do more than
the world has done.' Emerson says
Napoleon was great to the French
becaus. every Frenchman is Little
Napoleon and the emperor embod-
led all France in his personality.
Divine or human that was the secret
of Christ's strength: He drew into
the soul of his love all men. with a
singleness of purpose. a sublimity of
confidence and concentration of
hope that made him the living. vital
utterance Of mans desire and Cod
intention.
Whether christian or pagan, min
lister or laymeh, you can find in
Christ the one perfect example and
ceaseless inspiration. He was simply
and directly himself. He was as
void of pretence as rose; as empty
of all seeming as a sunbeam.

DEATH
A late lark taOitters from the

And from the aUest,
Where the sun, has days aOork
ended,
Lingers as IN content,
There falls ON the old, gray city
An influence luminous, serene,
A shining peace.
The smoke ascends
In a rosy-and-g golden haze. The
spires
Shine, and are changed. In the
GALLEY
Shadows rise. The lark cigns on.
The sun,
Closing has bemediction,
Sinks, and the darkena1ag ar
Thrills with a sense Of the tra-
umphdng Night
Night, aUith her train Of stars
And her great GIFT Of sleep.
So be mig passing!

Let me be gathered to the quiet
aUest,

Moider got him because he was not

Be yourself. Not an easy task.
Long before you have isolated your
self as an entity influences have been
at work making you hypocritical, un-
natural, distorted. You were born
into artificial surroundings, fed on
strange food and blinded by false
ideas. When at last you awake and
say: = am II. you know you are
false to yourself. You are not you.
You are great many other people.
AS Ulysses says: Il am part Of all
whom / have met. So you are q
part Of all your ancestors, of all the
invisible and subtle influences OF
civilization, of convention, Of tradi-
ton, Of the books you have read, Of
the misconceptions you have acquir-
ed, of the lies that have been told
YOU, Of the wrongs perpetrated
against you.
Be yourself!
You say that SO and SO is an origi-
nal thinker. What do you mean!
Is he different from others? Not at
all. Each man is original when try
ing to be himself.
Be yourself. Shake off the dead
hand, the cold fingers stretched out
of the empty past. holding you back,
clogging your way. Set your face
to the sun, to the new day, to the
eternal promise of the oncoming
minutes, to the trembling anticipa-
ton in your own heart. Never look
back into the gloom for the image
of Despair faunts big there while
the radiant form Of Hope futters
before.
St. Francis called the animals his
brothers. To the man who is going
directly on his way. who is child-like
in the simplicity with which he is
himself, as st. Francis was, what
man or object is unworthy his love
and sympathy?
When you are yourself you bring
within the circle of your personality
all the powers of the universe, you
set up new universe with yourself
at the center; you have included yet
enlarged humanity. Then the vio-
let blooms for you and in a sense be-
cause Of you; the day dawns for you;
the night is studded with stars for
your delight; you go gaily into the
twilight of life and fall asleep smil-
ing, conf lent that nature and ma
lures God have loved you.
This is the great inspiration of
Christ's day, an inspiration that en-
compasses the year, that rises with
every new day. that whispers in
every wind, CLEANS in every star
and must eventually sit crowned and
imperishable in the heart of every
man.
