Have you heard this famous carol, nGod Rest
Ye, Terry Gentlemen, sung this season? Recently
very striking article appeared magazine entitl
"God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" The author takes
great pains to describe the situation under viii Oh
this carol was sung in England, lee, by shivering
waits outside in the cold to merry gentlemen inside
by the fire. He terms it stark travesty on the
spirit Of Jesus and not representative the coming
of Jesus at all. break into the article at this
point:
nLast the New York Times printed CON-
plant from pious reader ,erding with suggestion
The complaint stated that you could never be sure
nowadays when you went to church that you would hear
the pure, wladulterated, old-fashioned Chi stmas
religion often the worshiper would be surpri sed
ana disappointed in the most unexpected places, with
painful sermons Of social compassion. The suggestion
was that set aside at least two DAYS in the
church year when people could be sure-on Christmas
Sunday and on Easter Day let there be nothing
preached except the Old, Old Story.
Have you ever wondered why these lidays are so
POPULAR even now wi ith chrrchgoers? Part of it is
habit, of course, and ancestral training But part
OF 1t Is this feeling of confidence that on these
special days congregations Will not be ously
disturbed. On any other Sunday mi ght expect to
have our consciences stirred and our sins rebuked.
But not on Easter Day. There lilies and birds
and music and Immortality for that day. And not on
christmas Sunday. There are gifts and weaths and
good hunor for that day. Meanwhile the hungry chill
dren go from door to door, down the windswept
streets Of the world, and merry gentlemen are rois
ering in the banquet Shall this be our song
'God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen?
"John Morley had a name for that kind of ligion.
He called it 'comp1acent religiosiy.' He said the
words years ago; they still sting:
'Ere you sheltered, curled up and content
By your worlds warm fire?
Then say that your soul is in danger.
The Sons of Light, they down with
God in the mire,
God in the manger. su'
