The Universally of Christmas.

Primarily. of course. Christmas Is
religious festival In the Christian,

is the foundation rock of his religion,

ing his flock to observe the day with
ceremonial observances. find a fervent
response. From every pulpit is told
anew each year the story of him with
out whom Christmas had never been.
But Christmas appeals also to the
women who cannot subscribe consci-
entiously to the doctrine of his divin'
ity. 1t is trite. perhaps, to say that as
Christmas approaches the Christmas
spirit is "in the air." but 1t Is true
none the less. peace and good will''
pervade the air that is breathed alike
by churchgoer and nonattendant
In the big cities Christmas Is cele-
brated by Christian and Jew and Mo-
hammedan as well as by those with no
religion. In the outermost corners OF
the earth, wherever men of Christian
faith have borne the standard Of civili-
zation, the native heather in intimate
contact with them feel the coming Of
the spirit and rejoice.
1t is well that this should be so. for
the spirit of Christmas is the spirit Of
belief not only in Christ, but in ones
fellow men. Every one may share in

To gather in Che mistletoe.

To vassal tenant, serf and all.

And ceremony doffed his pride.

The lord underogating share
The vulgar game of post and pair.
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night

Brought tidings of salvation down.

Went roaring up the chimney wide.

Scrubbed till 1t shone. the day TO grace.

BY old blue coated serving man:
Then the grim boar's head frowned on
high,
Crested with bay and rosemary.
Well can the green garbed ranger tell
How, when and where the monster fell;
What dogs before his death he tore
And all the batting of the boar.

Now have abundance. are cen blessed

For did not Christ take such unto his
carer
The laborer SICK his family hungry. cold.

gold.

Who've read the Sermon on the Mount

A REAL SANTA CLAUS.

7ANTA CLAUS. / hang for you
BY the mantel stockings two
One for me and one to go
To another boy l know.
There's a chimney in the town
You have never Travelled down
Should you chance to enter there
You would find a room all bare;
Not a stocking could you spy.
Matter not how you might try.
And the shoes you'd find are such
AS no boy would care for much.
In a broken bed you'd see
Some one Just about like me
Dreaming of the pretty toys
Which you bring to other boys
And to him Christmas seems
Merry only in his dreams.
All he dreams, then. Santa Claus,
Stuff the stockings with. because
When it's filled up to the brim
y I'll be Santa Claus to him!
