After a year of strife and con fusion the world is about to declare san armistice for the observance of Christmas It is curious how the essence of Christianity. gets itself recognized and practiced in. spite of 8he world, the flesh and the devil.
 In this time of good will every body becomes Christian, for Christ mas is simply the substitution of the spirit of giving for the spirit Of get 'Eing.
 When Jesus was born in Bethle- EGhem there came to the world new Ss1nception of God aud Of his reia- N1ons with man. The Child lying in G7se Bethlehem manager will forever symbolic and express the world asnOying truth that Cod is love and, Therefore, He gives Himself to and For mon made in His image.
 Tradition records that when the Wise Men from the East iourneyed SN Bethlehem to worship the new born Child, they brought gifts
 The gift of God ig life eternal here sand hereafter. When this divine spark allimates the bosoms of men, %hev. 100. begin to giYe,
 Giving is the chief business of life for cscd ard men alike What man gives he has. He Toses ali else Earthly immortality lies in whatever. one gives to ones fellows in service sand Friendship and healing.
 l. wonder if we slall ever be ahle No practice the Christmas spirit the Syear rcund
 IT that time ever comes we shall find that most Of our personal and social problems, perplexities, anim- Qsfties and failures are unnecessary af we want spring and summer and e0ldeo harvest. we must have the ssun--Dr, Charles Ausrey Eaton in Restless.
