need. Though Of an historic and roy

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

People have come to regard
Christmas as joyous occasion OF
eat and drink and be merry. So long
as boisterousness and dissipation and
excesses are omitted. this is not OBJ
jectionable. but the fact that it is the
anniversary Of the birth Of the So
vior should not be overlooked. Gus
tom has made Christmas a time for
family reunions. for vacations and
feasting. 1t is a time for relaxation
OF business activity and closer COM
munion with others. This is admi-
rable, for in a mad rush for fnan-
'ciai and community power. most Of
us have become selfish; we have ceas-
ed to think OF others and hove for
gotten that nothing on earth belongs
to us, but we keep those things we
hold dear in trust only, to use for the
benefit of ourselves and mankind,
and. in the end. leave for future gen.
erations to hold in a similar manner.
In many homes. the family will not
/, be compiete-there will be a vacant
chair here. there. Many circles have
been broken since the last Christmas
father, mother, sister. brother,
have been taken away. This is the
way of the world. and of life. There
would be nc JOY without sadness. for
without 1t we would soon come t.
regard Joy merely as a matter of
course, and it would then cease to
be joy.
The season Of cheer is at hand
Let re not mistake it for season Of
excessive living. but let us all be
merry, with reverence to the nature
of the celebration.

For most OF us the memory OF the
past Is chamber of discomfort. Let
therefore the old year bury from
sight Its story OF sin and sorrow nnc
failure. Let there be sincere repent
ance for the follies Of the past. and
then let new man step forth to meet
with hope and determination the glad
New Year which God desires shall be
q blessed year for every child of
earth. When God forgives. He for
gives utterly. He casts mans sins
"lnto the depths of the sea-" Why
then should memory thrust its hooked
pole into the sea to dredge the bot
tom and bring up by the locks some
pale memory which God has plunged
into the ocean of forgetfulness? Mans
life is not In the past, but In the
days TO come. for our times are In
His hand.
And how many OF us are waiting
for the opportunities OF the coming
Year, With how many Of US is II the
unuttered hope that tomorrow may
be free from the sins and the mis-
takes OF yesterday ! pray God that
for you II may be so. Your times are
In His hand. and let your Father
shape the new year for you; let Him
rule II, and strive with the help Of
the Spirit to walk the way OF His
commandments. Forgetting the
things that are behind. let us press on
for the prize Of the high calling In
Christ Jesus"
The passing year also must remind
us that there will come last year for
each one Of us. Perhaps this coming
year is your last. Are you therefore
ready 10 see the curtain rise upon
eternity are you now ready to hear
the midnight cry. and to enter into
the marriage supper OF the Kings
Son? Our times are In Gods hand,
and no man knoweth what day or
hour he may be called from his labor.
Though we live to be counted among
the oldest inhabitants we must depart
ut last. Others have gone before us
and are going every day. and yet we
seem so eager 20 forget our own NOR
tallty. Nay, let us rather look for
ward with anticipation, believing that
God will then give us New Year
which shall be without sin ind tears
and sorrow and pain. where love shall
rule, and where happiness shall be
complete Ia the fullest service TO our
God.
The New Year bells will soon be
ringing. Do not fail 20 make some
personal preparations for its coming.
Make resolutions for the future on
the basis OF your experience OF the
past Every heart knows Its own
needs. and Its own weaknesses. BE
not discouraged by past failures, but
pray 10 God earnestly 10 help TO fu-
ture successes. Take this New Year
as n holy gift from a gracious Father
and begin to live II carefully and
prayerfully. Do not strive to carry
the burdens of future months, but live
each day as II II we're the last and
the best. In spite OF all the Ills which
we see in the world today. let us be-
lleye that the New Year will be
blessed year 10 all mankind. and let
each one Of us do our uttermost to
make It so. May God look upon us
al! 10 mercy. and may He let this

Ring out the narrowing lust OF gold;
Ring out the thousand wars OF old.
Ring In the thousand years or peace.
