CHRISTMAS AND THE CHILDREN

Word comes from Russia that the
do away with all religious influences
in the ob5ervances of the Christmas
festival. This is not surprising when
consideration is had of the attitude
Throughout displayed by the Com
munists toward churches and re-
ligiaus observance. The features in
Christmas which came down to us
from the old Roman may be more
to their liking.
The Christmas festival, taken over
from the pagans by the Christian
church in the fourth century, appears
TO have been prior tothat, an occasion
for all the spirit of merrymaking, the
giving Of presents and jolliication
and some Of the legends now con-
nected with it. But the leaven of
the story OF Bethlehem had no like
in the pagan celebration.
The Communists Of Russia may
think themselves wise men. It is OBJ
vious that what they seek is rather
: a personal qualification, the division
OF wealth for their own immediate
use. obligation to succeeding gener-
ations seems to be lacking. Their
supreme desire seems to be to get
all there may be out of the world for
themselves. leaving to succeeding
generations a like task. The desire
to provide for the future of'the child,
from what one may learn Of Russian
conditions. is conspicuously lacking
In the thought of the inflamed COM
munal egoist. If he be a wise man
then The three wise men of the East,
Kaspar. Melchior and Balthazzar, as
e the Germans name them, who fol-
lowed the star to the cradle of the
new born Jesus, possessed wisdom of
another sort. Their wisdom sought
in the child the ruler to come, to pay
homage to him. From the day
Christianity took over the celebration
OF Christmas the child in the manager
IT Bethlehem has wrought a bene-
fcient influence beyond comprehen-
sion.
Those who would destroy this are
Gespsing the wisdom Of the ages.
Those who rob Christmas of that
tradition would leave it the day of
p pagans and barbarians, devoid of the
SAVIOR of sacrifioial love, a saturna-
liam conception suited to an age the
civilized world fondly hopes is past.
Love OF children has long been
present with the best of the human
race. as Mahlon Leonard Fisher tells
so beautifully in the following lines,
but II has not always been blessed
by the benediction inseparable from
the Tradition OF the child in the man.
ger visited by the wise men of the
East;
The Love of Children lives: It never
dies:
Deathless as Loves own self, 1t CLEANS

pines.
