Forerunner of Christmas.

The spirit of nerrymaking that
marks our Christmas holidays had its
origin with the Roman feast called
the Saturnalia. This was a festival in
honor of Saturn, father Of the gods.
1t lasted for week. or two. beginning
about the 10Th of December, and was
the occasion for great revelry among
all classes. No business was transact.
ed during this period, war was sus-
pended, private feuds were forgotten
or forgiven, and general good fellow
ship reigned supreme. Friends ex.
changed presents with one another,
and the slaves were waited upon BY
their masters and mistresses.

To Make a True Christmas.

Don't forget the lonely, the suffering,
the poor, on Christmas. Remember
that the first and greatest Christmas
gift was sent not to the rich and pow
erfIl. but to the poor and needy. Give
to those who are near and dear to you,
but somewhere, somehow, in your ordi-
nary life find some one who is near
Christmas for him or her.

the ages have been most deeply in
terested since. The shepherds had
perhaps some premonition. The
seventy weeks of Daniels prophecy
were about fulfilled. 1t may be at
that very time they were talking OF
the coming of Christ.
Suddenly their attention was ar
rested by a strange sight in the
heavens. 1t grew brighter and took
the form of an angel, and then they
heard a voice announcing the birth
of Christ as glad tidings for all peo-
pie, not to the Jews only. Then
suddenly the air was filled with an
gels singing as if they had come
right out from the air.
We know not their wonderful
song, but part came to mortal ears,
"Glory to God in the highest" etc.
We know not who those angels were,
but we fancy they were the redeem

there. Eve, who in her maternal
earnestness declared at the birth of
aer firstborn, 81 have got a man

IF time she had come to witness the
birth of the babe who was to be the
Saviour of her race. David, Elijah.
Moses, the patriarchs, we believe,
we're with the heavenly host.
This song reveals three things:
First.-The glorifcation of God
through the incarnation. God has
glory through his vast work in ma
ture, his providence building up and
casting down nations, etc.
In the incarnation there was spe-
cial glory. 1t was glory to God in
the highest-highest, in that it was
above all other glory, in that it ex-
tended to all time and in that it
wrought such wondrous good.
Second.-The great results to the
earth. 1t would result in peace.
Strifes, thorns and thistles were
Astounding. The earth was torn and
bleeding by constant contention.
With Christ came peace. The result
would be universal peace.
Third.-The effect on the individ-
ual man. "Good will toward men,"
from one another, from God. Out
Of this good will would finally spring
peace on earth and glory to God in
the highest.-Dr. Matthew Simpson.
