The Christmas Spirit

\ EODERN methods of spending
MI Christmas are permeated by
the spirit Of the age. a Grass
materialism is. everywhere evident, and
the true spiritual significance Of the
event is in most cases entirely over
looked Feasting and junketing' and
merrymaking are the chief aims kept
in view. People probe no deeper than
the surface Their outlook is limited
by the physical and limits ton newt
ably results in boredom. Few grown
up people look forward to Christmas
with any anticipation. They partal1e
of its pleasures, but they are, on the
whole, heartily glad when it is over.
OF course, Christmas has always been
joyful time, but the spirit Of joyful
ness differs in quality. The jOyfulness
Of today is a leaden sort Of thing. There
is nothing that is light or aspiring or
really happy in its composition. It is
a mere travesty OF the reality
One looks in vain for the genuine

former days. Families no longer gath
