CHRISTMAS CREED UNIVERSAL

The festival called Christmas has
come to have a creed wider than any
ritual. It's magic has Influenced the
world in a degree more profound and
far-reaching than that of any other
recurring incident marked by the his
tory Of mankind. Its sentiment has,
indeed, overlooked all boundaries, both
of sect and Of social condition. It's
high, clear note Of cheer and charity
has appealed to an unbounded degree
wherever human ideals have had sway.
Pessinlisln halts at its portal.
The creed Of kindness adjusts itself
to all conditions and all places. It
seems to be a good working creed,
despite the unattractiye phases of per-
functOry giving and taking. It is
cheerful creed. It strews life with gay
ETY. and color It is a elimination to
sentiments of fair play, to active SYM
pathy, to the do-it-now impulse.
Christmas has no climate. It CLOVIS

any crisis mankind ever before was
called to read. That war has darkened
Christmas for so much Of the world
may well seem, at the moment, the
crushing condemnation of all such con-
f1icts.
Yet it will remain true that the full
