A CHRISTMAS GREETING
~ Rev. v. o. Anderson, Rector Of ST.
Marks Church.

once again We come 10 the Feast OF
the Nativity. when We keep the birth
DAY Of the Christ-child. God Incarnate,
the' Word made Flesh. Our thoughts
go back with all Christendokn TO that
little town Of Bethlehem. to the star
III hills where the shepherds watched
their hocks. to the dim stable OF
blessed memory where the peasants
gathered about the manager to do hon.
age to the Blessed Virgins Son.
How wonderful il all seems, that in
such humility should be born on this
earth the King Of Kings. and Lord of
Lords" that in this manner should be
lu!hlied the prophecy Of Isaiah, Unto
US a Child is born. unto us a Son is
gwen heralded by the angel who
said. Unto You a child is born this
DAY in the city Of David. a Saviour
which is Christ the Lord
And yet, what is more natural. He
who IS our Saviour. our Redeemer our
Pattern, and our Guide, came down to
earth taking upon Himself our human
nature. living our life and sharing our
sorrows-for He was Man Of sorrows
and acquainted with grief-that we
might have further proof Of Gods love
for US.
Christmas is essentially Holy Day
and we must never let it degenerate
into mere secular day in which the
giving OF gifts TO one another is the
uppermost thought in our minds. 1t
is truly day for giving, but first of
all we must remember Whose birthday
1t is. and to Him Eust be brought the
best gifts. Like the wise men who
brought costly gifts Of gold. franklin
cense and myrrh, so too, our best
gifts must be for the Christ child, for
il is His birthday. and if any OF US
have left Him out of mind at this
time, then shame on lis! And what
1hall we give? We must give that
which He desires, and nothing can be
more acceptable to him, than that We
offer yourselves, our souls and bodies y
a. the service which our Lord COM
mands-the Holy Eucharist-of which
He says, DO this in remembrance OF
Me-" on Christmas Day and on all
other days when it is possible.
Having done this, We shall have
made Him the best gift possible and
shall not have allowed Christmas Day
TO become a mere secular holiday, and
then. having given honor to whom
honor is due, We shall be in better
position to enjoy the pleasures of
home, and health and peace within our
land, and all other blessings which We
owe to God alone, Who came to earth
on Christmas Day.
May the blessing of the Christ -child
be with everyone in our city at this
glad season of the year.

The shepherds watched their focks by
night.
And peace was over them,
And over all the little world
That bordered Bethlehem.
And one among them was a lad
Who did his fathers part,
lad with shining eyes
That spoke his eager heart.
The hush Of midnight held the plain
Where fiocks and shepherds were;
The little lad with shining eyes
Beheid no thing astir.
When 10! about them and above
There glowed a wondrous light;
glory flowed across the plain,
And swept away the night.
The shepherds all were sore afraid.
What can it mean they cried.
And as the wonder filed their hearts,
A voice that thrilled replied:
Behold, it's not q time for fear.
The tidings that we bring
Shall fill the hearts OF men with Joy.
List. Hear the angels sing
And then from out the flaming SKY.
AS from a mighty throng,
There rolled the song the angels sang,
A glad, triumphant song;
a song of praise unto the King
Who ruleth land and sea:
of THAT shall preV91
Wherever man shall be.
Again. again the chorus swelled,
And then it dimmed and died:
While hack across the plain once more
The midnight rolled its tide.
Yet was the midnight not the same;
For in the East afar
There shone a light unseen before,
A bright and wondrous star.

Was hrst TO point it out
Come le, US follow where it leads"
The others heard him shout
In eager haste across the plain
The shepherds made their way.
Until the star had led them where
a sleeping village lay,
The little town OF Bethlehem;
And there such radiance shone
Upon the Manager near the inn
AS never man had known.
Within the manger lay the Child.
And while the Mother slept,
In awe the shepherds came and knelt.
And closer, closer crept.
The little lad with shining eyes
Had heard the angels sing,
And in his heart the echo rang.
Our Master and our King"
He crept to where the Mother slept;
He touched the child and her.
How could the merest touch like that
Such wondrous rapture stir?
Then, as he went into the dawn,
Within his shining eyes
There CLEANED the glory that had filed
The singing midnight skies.
Wherever went the shepherds then
Their hearts were strangely light;
And unto all they met they told
The story Of the night.
Q shepherd lad OF long ago,
The world has journeyed far
Since Ger the plain OF Bethlehem
You Travelled by the star;
And yet tonight it stands, as you
stood first upon the plain,
And hears the song the angels sang,
And sees the star again,
