arch-enemy of all that Christmas
represents. He is fighting to Danish
peace and good will. There is real
sense in which the world is at war
to save Christmas and everything
that it signifies, from pagan
power that scorns the Christ Child
and persecutes His followers.
In the trumpet tones OF ISaiah's
familiar prophecy of the Messiah
we hear the promise of the sure
triumph of a Child whose name
shall be called Wonderful, Coun-
selor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father and Prince of Peace" As
surance is given-and it is needed
as part Of today's Christmas mes
sage-that "Of the increase of His
government and of peace there shall
be no end" We look back upon the
slow centuries with their sure prog
ress and perceive this prophecy be-
ing fulfilled. Today the thought of a
Christly peace dominates more
minds than ever before.
The goal of God in Christmas is
no thin veneer, no sentimental
glow of spirituality cloaking the
lives of men for a season. 1t is

MORALS to the Babe, there open
the stone-fenced fields, where Ruth
once cleaned and David tended
sheep and the out-of doors men
heard on Holy Night the angelic
message. The natural setting of the
greatest story remains as it was
1000 years ago.
1t was down this same road that
an anxious Nazareth couple came,
the girl-wife riding a humble dom
key, as her Son was one day to do
on the opposite side of Jerusalem.
The anxious and vain search for a
lodging in the census-croWded vii
lage; and, at last, the kindly shelter
given by hospitable horsemen in the
cave stable of the little khan, are
of the very essence of the Christ
mas story.
The Oldest Church in the World.
That stable, and its rock-hewn
manger, are today enShrined in the
oldest church building in the world.
The cave is now adorned with bro
cades covering its rocky sides, and
silver lamps hang from the ceiling,
jealousy tended by monks of three
rival faiths. Ecclesiasticism has
laid its sitting hand upon the Sa-
cred spot. l have attended service
there on Christmas Day; but I find
more of the real Christmas spirit
with the girls of Sleighton Farm,
to whom I have spoken every
Christmas for more than a quarter
of a century. The rich vestments
Of the prelates and their elaborate
ritual impressed me less than the
peasant mothers, seated on the
floor of the old church, sucking
their babes as Mary onces sucked
the Holy Child.
1t has been my good fortune to
stand alone in the sacred crypt
alongside of the manger. with no
garrulous guide to distract me: and
there to muse upon the marvel Of
marvels. the mystry of mystries; Of
how the Infinite God Himself here
came to earth, incarnate in Babe
born of a peasant mother, and KIN
to all of us common mOrtals. to be
the worlds Redeemer. Thou shalt
call His name Jesus. for he shall
save His people from their sins.
Whatever deeps there NAV be in a
mans spirit are profoundly stirred
by this experience Of Worshiping
alone at the very spot where Christ
was born.
Here, as John, touched by Greek
mysticism, declared the Word be-
came fesh"-the Word that existed
before creation. and was an in
strument thereof; the Word that
was the ultimate expression of
Deity; the Word that taught full
and final wisdom to the race; the
Word that was Gods expression
of love for the human race; the
Word whose significance the aged
seer Interpreted. IF God so loved us,
We also ought to love one another. "
AS the Babe born in Bethlehem
laid His sanctifying hand upon all
childhood. so We may dare think
that today there is somewhere
boy. probably Sunday school boy,
who will grow up-perhaps because
of today's Christmas lesson-to be
a new and great interpreter of
Christ. and leader of the Nation.
an apostle Of Peace on earth
amongst men of good will"

December 21 is Some Great

OF ChrlStmdS-DOrn DrOLnernOOO,
springing from the love of the
Father. the pure and Just rule OF
the Kingdom is to prevail. The
Christmas message is more of p
force in the world today than sll
the elaborate schemes and oreanl-
zations for a new world order.
Let us therefore make merry at
Christmas, and give gifts and
send greetings, and strengthen all
family and neighborhood ties. But
may we never forget the solemn
significance that underlies the day.
1t Is a memorial to the unquench-
able love of God, and Of His su-
preme purpose to save a world gone
astray. Within the compass of
Christmas lies the fulfillment of
all the dearest desires and high
est hopes Of humanity. Some day
an abiding Christmas is to come to
this weary old world. For at Christ
mas there came to earth the Son
and Saviour who was to embody all
that the Infinite could reveal and
express Of Himself to man.
Treading the Christmas Trail.
Again and again I have visited
the scenes of that first Christmas.
For be it remembered that this
carrying out of the purposes of
the Eternal was enacted at a def
mite time, in a known place, amid
real people. So I love to 60 to
Bethlehem, as I have done many,
many times. That memorable five
miles on the big road south from
Jerusalem (passing Rachels tomb
on the way. thus linking an Old
Testament nativity with the New) Is
a mind-moving journey.
AS one draws near the glistening
white limestone town, with the
spires and towers of modern me-
