The True Christmas Spirit
BY REV. +. A. SHAPE.
BY REV. r. A. SHAPE.

At this season OF the year thoughts nat
uray turn to the great and mOmentOus event in the
worlds history, which perhaps has deeper significance
to the human than any, all others of like import
We rapidly approaching the Christmas
season, at which time gladly unite in the
Grafton of the Birth of the Christ Child, whose name
was called Jesus, because he to the people
from their sins. The miraculous birth of this 'Wonder-
ful' Child Jesus inaugurated and happy for
the oppressed OF every nation; thus 1t behOOveS
this time pay tribute of love and gratitude to
Him, together with humble alteration Gods
greatest Christmas gift the world While at this time
hearts and minds filled with thoughts of the
parental pilgrimage from Nazareth to Bethlehem, of
the owy manger and the alteration of the Tudean
Shepherds who first heard the glad tidngS of Peace
on Earth, Good Will to Men, chanted from the Angel
&c Choir also the visit Of the Wise Men from the East
who guided by the mysterious star, with their
gifts OF gold, rankncense and myrrh the cradle of
the Newborn King, 1t is well that should mediate
seriously upon all these things and seek comprehen
sve meaning OF the true Christmas spirit
1t would seem utterly impossible for our finite
minds into full conception of the real import
and meaning of 'Christless" world. How little we
ponder the words of Jesus which He soemnlv
uttered to his Apostles the eve of His Crucixion
saying: "If had not come! How little we under
stand the full import OF those words yet is impos
sibe for to determine, least to a degree, what
this beautiful Chrst-favOred world might have been if
He had not come. Such tragedy would have meant to
a world without Christ, and that would mean a
world without Christmas, and all the Joys brings
world with Christ, Christmas, no Churches no
New Testament scriptures, comfort in sorrow, no
Saviour hope of the Resurrection and the glorious
life beyond Such a dark and hopeless condition was
prevented by the birth of the Holy Child Jesus, whose

advent most appropriately and happily celebrate at

"The true spirit of Christmas is most effectuay
manifested by emuating the spirit and life OF the Christ
himself In His birth he took upon Himself a human,
well divine nature, and thus He entered into
a world of human sorrows and needs and upon a beat
tul life OF sacrifice for Gods creatures, who
recognized His felowmen. He Gods Christmas
Gift and He also gave himself, in life of service
for the welfare of humanity and its needs He lived not
for himself but for Others. He to be min
istered unto but to minister and give His life
ransom for a suffering and sinful world. To Him, the
Christ Child of Bethlehem, all of life and
hope and immortality AS the Magi brought their rich
Him and laid them His feet while they
worshiped Him, may the Christ Spirit inspire at this
Christmas time to bring gifts of love and devoted
service Him, and also to remember with gifts
Of loving cheer, kindly deeds and happy goodwill,
those around and about u.s. thus expressing in a
perfect the Christ spirit and enter fully
into the realization of the True Spirit of Christmas.

The Christmas Tree
BY DOROTHY ANDERSON.

Christmas night has come at last
After a restless day;
Stockings and dinner are things of the past,
The tree is on the way.
At last the doors are flung aside,
The tree before US stands;
The children's eyes opened wide
At these treasures from Santas land.
Oh, stockings are for little tots
Who believe in old Saint Nick,
But the tree for US who have wiser thots
When gifts come fast and thick.
But now the joyous noise breaks out
The silent awe now fees;
The ranks are broken with shout
AS each some token sees.
The drums they beat, the trumpets blare,
The din the louder grows;
Each one calls "Come see my share"
And yet nobody goes.

Christmas Carol
BY o. w. ROWLAND.

O! Christmas Day, o. Christmas Day.
The birthday of Our Lord
The gladdest day of all the year,
Well sing with one accord.
O! Listen now, can you not hear
The song the angels sing, g..
Of peace on earth, good will to man,
Glad tidings that they bring?
The Child is born, the Counselor,
The Babe of Bethlehem,
Who on His brow fore'er shall wear
The heavenly diadem.
O! List the song the angels sing
To shepherds on the plain,
The breezes float DER Judeas hills
And watt the sweet refrain,
That unto us the Child is born,
To us the Son is given,
And unto US the Lord hath sent
The choicest gift of Heaven.
And see the wise men as they come
From distant lands afar,
Across the scorching desert sand,
And guided by the Star.
Rich gifts of incense, gold and myrrh'
They bring for Gods own Son,
The Babe that in the manger lay,
The Lords most holy One.
To Him this gladstone Christmas day,
Well offer songs of praise,
Well worship Him, the blessed One,
And serve Him all our days.
