The Candles OF Christmas
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Now is the season of the Christmas candle All
the nation there trees decked to celebrate the
Day of Days. Great towering pines in city squares
growing trees bedecked with gay lights on suburban
lawns; modernistc trees sprayed with silver, gold
blue In the deep forest the mounainside the dark
frs have at their feet and star for their light
But the kind of Christmas tree like the best the old
fashioned whose principal trimming is snowy white
candles.
What do these candles mean? And how can we light
them in our hearts they may burn there during the
year to come?
The clear steady flame is the candle of truth the
light that dispes the shadows and false images the self
ish ambitions, hatreds and prejudices.
The slow burning light is the candle of patience
the light given by which to wait and work for the full
filling of the law.
The gentle gieam is the candle of mercy-not con-
descending charity but helpful spirit toward all our
brothers. There be light for any, if there is not
light for ALL
The warm, glowing fire is the candle of friendiness
the spirit of love for neighbor eff man love not
his neighbor when he hath seen how can he love God
whom he hath not SEEM?
The mellow light is the candle of understanding
the willingness to wait and learn the facts before GEN
eralizing with rash decisions
The high reaching flame is the candle of gratitude
of thankfuness for the blessings of the past for the op
porunties to serve of the present. and for the
to face the future-"assured alone that life or death
His mercy underlies"
The brilliant light is the candle of faith faith not
in alone but in God and in the God given power of
men to do right that the end may be right
These the candles of the Christmas spirit To he
nrsed with and to be kept ever before US for only
keep the light ahead of us will the shadows fail
behind and our way be made clear.

and lil-Wlll and OF war upon war; and everywhere
mankind had been driven to doubt in despair
1t was in such world that Jesus set out upon his

At time since the birth of Jesus land of his abors
