NOT A HOLIDAY LIKE OTHERS
Significance Of Christmas Is Not Lost;
Its Spirit Enters Into
Life Of World.

Or T is not likely that all of the
~ multitude Of people who ca
~ gerly and anxiously pre-
% @ pare to celebrate Christmas
day are conscious of its sa-
cred character. They know Of course
that 1t stands for the anniversary of
the birth of the Founder OF the Chris
tian religion, but that thought Is not
uppermOst In their minds To such,
for the moment, it is merely a holiday
in which they wish to give gifts to per-
sons they care for and whom they wish
TO please. II is period in which they
forget themselves in order to give JOY
TO others.
In this one thing, though they may
not be aware of it, they demonstrate
the teaching of the One whose day
they observe, for unselfish thought for
others is one of the great lessons
! taught by the Teacher Of teachers who
was born in Bethlehem of Judea CEN
turies ago. There are Christmas givers
today who make no sacrifice when they
purchase rich gifts for family or
friends; they know no self denial,
though 1t does not follow that they do
not give all their hearts. But with the
great mass of givers there Is a setting
aside of personal wishes and even ur-
gent needs In order that those they
love may be glad on that day of the
year when all the Christian world re-
Joices The self-sacrifice is as nothing
compared to the end to be attained
On the other hand, a multitude of
men and women are spiritually aware
of the character of the day. They look
back across the centuries to the Child
in the manger and see in 1t the dawn
of new hope to mankind, revela-
tiOn of new life, bond between NOR
tai existence and the hereafter that
has given comfort to myriads and a
light to the world that grows brighter
with the passing of the ages. The gifts |
that they bestow and those they re-
ceive typify to them the greatest Of all
gifts to the world-the One who came
to point the way to eternal life.
No, Christmas for all Its seeming
h'A'NAi'J ls HOl d
mere holiday like others Even the
light-mlnded and needless ones realize
a difference, and If pushed to explain
would do so reverently. Under all the
hurry and confusion and gayety of the
preparations and the celebration the
significance of Christmas is not lost. |
The meaning of the Great Event whose
anniversary we observe cannot be es-
capped. It's spirit has entered into the |
life of the civilized world.-Indianapo

n 0w this Christmas day will be
ID u made the subject of glow,
ing pictures of the progress
of the world toward peace, and peace
| with honor and justice.
In some features the holiday of Civ
ing, the day set apart for rejoicing
| over the birth of the most potent
! apostle of peace mankind has ever
known, wears a more nobly prophetic
aspect this year than ii has had in a
century or millennium, and thrilling
appeals to the faith and brotherly
love Of good people can he made with
out in the least overstepping the
bounds of truth. The facts are rich
in promise beyond the realization of
many eyes weary of long strife and
repeated dislIuSiOnment. There will
be comparatively little danger of ex-
aggeration in the praise of Christmas
this gloritied day which finds the
wcrld scarce able to grasp the full
meaning Of great events.
But there is another phase of
Christmas which is always well worth
noting, and especially so when the
pace of human progress is Quickened
by momentOuS changes toward peace
and good will This is the constant
widening and unending conquests of
the best of holidays.
Every Christmas is bigger than tbe
one before it. Always the dav means
more to a greater number of human
beings. Year after year its bounda-
ries are extended. Year by wear it's
sunshine is shed upon more of the
earth's inhabitants.
This does not necessarily mean the
gains of the Christian religion. for
Christmas is wider than Christianity.
The day of the coming of Jesus is
cherished by many millions who have
no connection with Christian churches
or the faith they profess. The holiday
is dear to all who live in lands where
CHRISTIANS are most numerous. 1t
WINS the devotion of little children
ana holdS their affection as they grow
Older. For multitudes its observance
IS not III any sense rite of belief. but
manifestation of rejoicing in the
love of fellOw-dwelers in a world
which at best has too little of the
sunshine Of Kindness and affection.
There is no reason to fear that this !
growth of Christmas will cease. There
IS noihlng to indicate that it will ever
iaiI to widen the realm of bright |
hopes and radiant thoughts. shining
children's eyes and smiling older faces.
