The Christmas
Spirit

@FTER e OF strife and con.
~ fusion the world Is about to de
clare an armIstice for the observ.
ance of Christmas. 1t is furious how
the essence of Christianity gets Itself
recognized and practiced In spite OF
the world, the flesh and the devil.
In this time of good will everybody
becomes Christian, for Christmas Ia
simply the substitution of the spirit OF
giving for the spirit of getting.
When Jesus was born In Bethlehem
there came to the world a new COZ,
ception Of God and of his relations
with man. The Child lying IN the
Bethlehem manger will forever sym
bolize and express the woodworking
truth that God is love and, therefore
He gives Himself to and for men made
in His image.
Tradition records that when the
Wise Men from the East ~journeyed to
Bethlehem to worship the newborn
Child, they brought gifts
The gift of God is life eternal. here
and hereafter. When this divine spark

Giving is the chief business of life
for God and men alike. What a man
gives he has. He loses all else. Earth
ly Immortality lies In whatever ons
gives to ones fellows In service and
friendship and healing.
I wonder If we shall ever be able
TO practice the Christmas spirit the
year round
II that time ever come we shall
find that most of our personal and so
cial problems. perplexities. anImosities
and failures are unnecessary. IL We
