CHRISTMAS.


As the sands Of Time drop gently
through the hour glass, their shifting
seems 40 slow that only once In a while
do we notice what q change has been
wrought Ia the last thousand years or
90.
Nineteen hundred years ago might
moved the world.
Might made right In those days, and
while the peoples Of Greece and Rome
at times gave mankind illustrations Of
physical courage and object lessons Of
gigantic accomplishments In both the
forum and battlefield, little has been
left Us to show that love of humanity
and persistent efforts for Its uplift
prompted men In that ancient day to
make life more and more worthwhile to
the populace as whole.
While the natural human instinct TO
believe In Supreme Power had prompt
cd steady worship at idolstrous
ahrines, as the years went by enlighten-
ed disgust more and more took the
place OF ignorant worship, and the
Grecian sought In vain for the Unknown
God.
But this was not TO continue always,
for the "fullness of time" had come
and the world was ripe for the birth Of
Savior. For more than generation
perfect life was lived In their midst,
and for half this time the true path Of
life was made SO plain by His teachings
that despite the carping Of critics their
perfection has been made all the more
brilliant by mans sneers. and their sim
pliclty 10 sufficient to lead the little
child or satisfy the demands Of the
strongest intellect.
What has been the fruits Of these
teachings! Well, not all that could be
desired by any means, but just In pro-
portion as nations have kept closer and
closer to the laws OF the Divine Teacher,
In that same proportion have their lands
come closer towards reaching the ideals
for which we would live. True. the
seihshness OF mankind will crop out at
times. and the booming OF cannon will
mar the joyous Christmas carols, but
even In these cases the highest tribute
to Christianity 10 paid by declaring that
they are waging war In His name.
how proud the average American 10
because no such war plays havoc In our
midsti True our best humanity 10 fight

louder and louder each day, but 1t is
