SAYS CHRISTMAS
HITS SELFISHNESS
Or. Macdonald Describes Mean
ing of Word in Church
Sermon.

Christmas was described as a bull
wark against self1shness and COM
mere 'aIism by Rev. DR.. James II
Macdonald, pastor of st. Luke 5
Methodist Episcopal Church last
night. He was using as his text
Matt. 10. Il: But Jesus said. suffer
little children, and forbid them
not to come unto me, for of such Is
the kingdom of heaven"
''Chrlstmas time is the children S
time. and 1t brings us, who are older,
back to the simple joys and ideals OF
childhood" declared DR.. Macdonald,
land 1t is the annual return of man
hood and womanhood back to the
childhood. 1t also strengthens the
home spirit and at a. time when at
tacks upon the family are powerful
as thew are today Throughout sell
nshness and commercialism we need
TO keep alive to all the forces tending

simplicity and sweetness of the home
life.
"At Christmas time the whole world
seems to be seeking to express good
will and affection. There may be
multitude of ways to express one s
affections, but the small gift for each
member of the family brought home
by the mother or father after an ap-
sence carries more weight than that
Of is intrinsic worth or cash value.
1.-THE real home" continued the
minister, means sacrifice. This
ought to be thought of In days when
we talk of the marriage contract as
a mere contract to be evaded or
broken at will. Men are not natural
ly beautiful. They only become so
through discipline and trial. The real
power of the home is lost unless peo-
pie are willing to submit to a curb
ing of their selfishness. This makes
every man kinder to his family. and
the poor and the unfortunate are not
forgotten. He wants everyone to re-
alize the joy he feels
