The children's holidayi


day of days. and it is also the day
for those who have been converted
and become as little children"
(Matt. 1879. It is quite proper that
it should be so, for Christmas really
means nothing very significant ex-
cept as we gather at Bethlehem's
manger and there we find a child,
the Christ-child. Those who come
on the morrow to do homage to Him
in the spirit Of childlike faith will
truly keep Christmas. In that spirit
the writer of these notes wishes for
you who read these lines just that
kind of holy day of Joy and glad
ness.
Let us then go first of all to Beth
lehem, and there having seen the
One who became flesh and dWelt
among u.s. as little child, we shall
be ready to go on and learn from
Him what a blessed example, re-
sponsibility. and opportunity there
is in the childhood which we see all
around us.
I. The Child-Jesus Our Saviour
(Matt. 1:18-25.
The virgin mother Mary brought
forth her firstborn son" and "called
his name Jesus one who
should save his people from their
sins" (vv. 81, 25). In order that
He might be the Saviour, He had to
be both God and man. This could
only be true as God sent His own
only-begotten Son into the world by
giving to Him a human mother in
whom He as the eternal Son of God
was conceived by the Holy Ghost"
Gas we express it in the creeO and
became the Son of Man.
For anyone who believes that God
has all power and all wisdom to do
what He wills and as He wills, and
who further believes that Christ was
pre-existent as the Son of God be-
fore His incarnation. there is no
difficulty in believing in the virgin
birth. In fact, no other manner OF
incarnation would have been posi-
BILE. It necessarily follows that the
one who denies the virgin birth OF
Christ thereby declares that He does
not believe in the God of the Scrip
lures and in Jesus Christ His Son
our Lord.
III. The Child-Our Example (18:
Id.
The disciples had been having a
discussion about who was to be the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
This was not because they desired
their brothers advancement, for
each one wanted to be the greatest
duke 9:46).
Jesus frankly told them that they
needed a real change of heart, a
conversion. True greatness is not
a matter of worldly position or am
bition, but of a childlike humility.
Such an idea was absolutely revo-
lutionary in the day of Jesus, and
in fact sounds unbelievable to the
worldly man today. But it is none
thelass true that the great man or
woman is the one who knows and
recognizes himself to be utterly de-
pendent on God in every moment,
every circumstance, every trial, and
in every opportunity of life. We need
to learn of our children.
iii. The Child-Our Responsible

be considered with great care. What

the noted Belgian, Cesar Thomson,
transmitted it to him, he is content.
He wants no praise. He will be
happy as long as generous pub
lie makes it possible for the Green

tinue bringing beauty and hope into
the sordid life of the slums.
But the 1886 pupils who pay for
the school from so cents up "a third
of the actual cost for weekly music
lessons, depending on their means,
agree with Dante. To them Hank"
is at the bottom of it, surely. They
stand around in groups reading the
newspaper clippings of the Pulitzer

They saw away at their fiddles and

Sunny" talks at length with the
British Embassy and has long con-
ferences with Capt. Lascelles, as
sistant private secretary of King
George. He confers with railroad
officials and police authorities.
He makes not merely one arrange
ment but several-so that an al
tentative, say a railroad route, can
be taken at the last moment. For
instance, if the weather is good. the
King and Queen will 60 to New York
by train until they reach Red Bank,
N. j., where they will take de-
stroyer to New York City so as to
get a view of the skyline. If weather
is bad they will go straight to New
York by train.

merlin's duties, and only the least
of them are connected with royalty.
When new ambassadors and minis
ters arrive he must 60 to the sta
ton to meet them, must present
them first to Secretary Hull. and
must take them to the White House
to present credentials to President
Roosevelt.
But No Private Dinners.
He draws up the kilograms that
70 out from the President to the
heads of state. expressing felicita-
tions, congratulations, regrets, con-
dolences. If they are important he
takes them to the White House and
goes over them with President
Roosevelt.
He takes care of special customs
privileges for goods and chattels OF
diplomats arriving in the United
States. He arranges for the visits
of foreign warships to our ports
and for the visits of American war
ships to foreign ports.
One thing he will not do-decide
on the seating arrangements at
private dinners After the contro-
versy over whether Mrs. Dolly Gam,
sister of the then Vice President

cede Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
wife of the Speaker of the House,
