SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
On Going to Christmas
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

sign pointing to the littlt
town of Bethlehem. For
those with eyes to see 1t is
always a thrilling vista as
one looks from a height at
the leaping spires of any city.
They are mans emblems lift
ed from the sod to climb their
straight and certain way to
God. Reared in the midst Of
the myriad question marks,
set up In every metropolis,
spires are exclamation points
speaking Of wonder, praise
and prayer. They symbolic
the reality behind and in the
tangible and material.
1t is significant that every
newspaper in which this is
being read dates today's and
every days issue from the
birth of the manger Child
when almost 1000 years ago
In q little Eastern town there
was a baby's low cry.
And now. again, the Jour-
ney across the calendar d.
visions brings US to the
Christmas month. We pro-
pose to erect the spires for
this Advent season on the
earth-shaking fact that the
world is celebrating nothing
less than the birthday of
hope for all mankind. The
frantic jaunts to gaily dec
GRATED marts which m ark
these hectic days in what is
called the Christmas rush
sweep multitudes nearer and
nearer to the years red
letter date. But the question
Of questions had to do, not
with what we may give to
others, but with what gift
Christmas brings to our
selves. How near will we &C.
tually get to Christmas?
Masefield's line - Life is a
long headache in a noisy
street" - would be q good
description Of busy hosts who
come no nearer to Bethle-
hem than the ephemeral
emotion conjured up by AUD
Lang Syne" and Jingle
Bells!" Truly has 1t been
said by a pastor, who for
many years watched the cele-
bration Of Christ'S Birthday,
"One Of the ironies Of our
time, and Of our religion, is
that the Christmas festival
has become the most frantic
CONFUSION of commercialism.
In many places the most au-
dible Christmas bell is the
one attached to the cash
register" For a few days be-
fore Christmas as strained
shoppers pass by the event of
the ages without even seeing
it, we sing God rest you
merry, gentlemen" but there
Is little restI We sing, or
hear it sung on the speaking
air as the day draws near
the birth of Christ, Holy
Night. Peaceful Night" but
there is little peace!
In all the preoccupied
hurry and worry Of getting
ready for Christmas we wrap
up everything else except the
profound meaning of it all
in our own hearts. The spir-
itually shattering result is
that most celebrants come
up to Christmas. and ex-
hauSted with all their plan
ming, go on past it without
anything happening to them
Now what Is Christmas? II
Is not mans best dream, not
man reaching up but God
reaching down. A dear friend
Of long years, who really kept
Christmas in his heart, de-
clared, ut is not something
out Of Charles Dickens, nor
the aroma Of steaming plum
pudding, nor the tinkle OF
bells; 1t is not a feStoon to
be draped over a few days
not a bright-colored toy to
be damned into a child's
stocking!" What is it then?

universe, it is the revelation
that at the center Of the cos
mos is an undefeatable power
of love on which men can
rely and to which they can
Join their efforts.
Christmas Is Gods word
made flesh. We have really
arrived at Christmas when
we know in very truth
that it is an incarnation.
Theology has endeavored to
reduce that blazing truth to
diagrams and definitions but
1t has made a sorry mess of
1t. Christmas did not come as
q syllogism but as a song
and a shout. Augmentation
never gets very far with in
carnation! And so at Christ
mas we turn from all our
systematic theology, from all
our elaborate creeds, and
from all our finely wrought
out logic, and gratefully con-
fess in those four simple yet
profound lines, written by
one who was my colleague in
the pastorate Of a great city
church-lines from a poem
chosen by Harvard in q hymn
contest out Of many hun
dreds:
/ knoD not hon that
Bethlehem's babe,
Could in the Oodhedd be.
! knoD the mGnoer child
Has brought Gods life to me.
And so Christmas is Gods
word of love, Of goodness, of
mercy, of peace, Of redemp-
tion-made flesh!
And let us remember that
what God did when he broke
into human history at Beth
lehem is always his method.
The real news Of the world is
recorded in its birth columns,
not in its obituary notices.
Whenever God has anything
to say to his human chill
dren. He never starts q bat
tle-he just sends a baby!
In all the glad confusion and
excitement of Christmas, we
must not lose sight, at our
own spiritual peril, that the
bells are pealing, and the
choirS are chanting, and the
multitudes are singing. be-
cause there is a tumult of
Joy DER a wonderful birth.
The most powerful thing
in the universe, LOVE, came
down at Christmas. That
love was to be focused and
to function in the life of
man. In a life like our own,
disinfected of the things that
make us hateful to ourselves
and to others, that love was
to shine with an incandes-
cence that lights up the GEN.
turtles.
We never arrive at Beth
lehem until we stand in that
vision. And that love not only
tells us something stupen-
dous about the universe but
something utterly searching
about ourselves. One of the
most Christlike men I ever
knew, not long before in
great affliction he met the
unseen with a cheer, said as
he stood in the blaze of
Christmas, When I come to
Bethlehem and move to NaZ-
areth and to Capernaum, and
follow Jesus through his love-
ly life, I see the man I
ought to be-"
