CHRISTMAS.
An annual church festival Decern
her 25th and l;i sniiiu htntcH of the
Union a legiil holiday, which in held
in memory of the Midi of Christ.
('inciiTiiliiK thu exact time at which
the hlrth nf our Lord reully occurred,
utithorltlcs didVr.
The first records we find of the ob
servation of this ihiy ure in the second
ecutury, about, the timo of thu Em
por r Coinmodtifl. Thu docretnl
cplHllcH, indeed, carry It up a little
higher, unci pay tha TelcuphoniH, wlio
lived In the reign of Antoninus Pius,
ordered divine service to be celebrated
and an angelic hymn to bo sung the
night hefro tho nativity of our
Bavlotir. That It was kept before the
limit of Coustantiue .we have a mel
ancholy proof j for whilst tho pers-i-ciitlou
rnged under Diocletian, who
then kept his court at Nicomedia, thut
tyrant) among other nctd of cruelty,
Uniting multitudes of Christians us
Hcmbled together to celebrate Christ's
nativity, commanded tho chuich
doorB where they wore met to" be shut,
and fire to be put to it, which soon
reduced them and tho church to ashes.
Why Wc Celebrate Christmas; or,
Christ the Central Point.
Ily John A. jrorrjusN, of Methodist Hill.
Great demonstrations are the nat
ural outcome of great eveus.
When (ho famous Caesar poke
those immorfnl wordu, "I came, I
saw, 1 conrjuered," ho voiced iu elo
quent words Mhe result of a great
event.
When Grant wired Hint famous mee
sngo, "Wo have met the enemy, and
they aiu ours," lie expressed hU Joy
over a Rreat event one that awakened
the entire world. And when tho three
wise men proclaimed to the world tlie
birth of a babe In a crib In Bethlehem,
they heralded an event that should
move nil tho world to an everlasting
demonstration of tho greatest of all
events.
Other babes have bcSn liorn and are
forgotten, other men btcame great,
but all have left but a ehtidow of their
being.
.My themo leads to nn eveut which
will not be forgotten so long us time
hnll last. It will bo stamped upon
thu brow or every human being. Even
i he iliHtunt Hottentot and Malayan,
thu Chiiitunuii ind tho Hindu, blmll
know that L'hrift was horn,
Tho adopted son of a carpenter,
reined in poverty, and educated m the
school of Nature, Ilo roso to such
heights Us uo man shall ever ruweh.
The world had dreamed of Him for
centuries before Ills birth. By His
birth nil tho earth waa suddenly
awakened from ita slumber.
Even tho ancient prophet Isaiah hnd
already realized 1IU greatness when
ho said: "Behold, my Servant shall
deal prudently, Ho shall bo extolled
amloxahed, utid bo very high.
And to express Chilst's greatness
among men, tho prophet added In an
other verso: "Tho kings shall shut
their mouths at Him." Bo groat nvas
His influence that Juscphus, nn
heuthon historian, said: "Ho was cer
tainly ft wonderful being If not n
god."
Christ Is tho central figure of all
m-os. Just ns tho compass points un
erringly toward tho magnetic pole,
regnrdlesa of which direction wo may
travel, so Christ Is tho central point of
man. Wo may eenrch In tho earliest
writings of Moses, orlu tho unfath
omcd prophesies of Revelations
everywhere wo are directed to Him.
But tho celebration of Christmas is
tho prime mlle-stono that, like a
monument, piduts to Him,
Every ago has produced Ita great
men. "Wo know thorn, wo praUo
them but uouo comes to ollr raettiory
moro Hweotly thai! tho lintne of tho
meek and loWly Naiarene. History
tells Us of uo mortal of greater wisdom
than Solomon; of no greater oratbY
than Detnostheue; of no greater re-;
former than Luther. Each of theso
men achieved greatness lu one ephbro;
Not sq with ChrUt, for In Hlmftre
1. . II II .1.- .I..1II ..... A A tWlll
greatness, He united wisdom with
eloquenco nnd reform with character.
Matthew describes Ills wisdom thus,
us taken (mm the tongues of His
greatest enemies, tho Jews: "Whence
hnlli this man this wlidum, nod these
mighty works7"
Of Ills oratory, Mark snrs: ''And
they were astonished ut His doctrine;
for His word w is wllh power,"
But why was It "wllh power?" Be
cause, unlike tho potentates of His
time, Ho spoke words of comfort, of
cheer and of linpp, Tho Bihlo says:
"No man over spoke like this Mau."
Christ is the center -of reform.
Tdolatry had been for centuries the
liighcbt idenl of the natiqns. Since
Christ's birth I he noblest ambitions of
civilization nro bused upon thu doc
trlnes Ho dv.ca,te'J.
Christ is also the central figure in
muslo. Even David sang of the
coming of the Saviour, and from his
time to tho preBent the sweetest ac
cords have ever been those which rang
out for Him.
Last, but not least, Christ Is the
entral figure in tle salvation of all
people. "Go yo out iuto nil the
world" Is the keynote of a universal
salvation.
Slriuld we not glory in such a noble
character? If we And reasons for cele
brutng tho birth of Washington and
Lincoln, each of hom saved but one
nation and one people, then wo have
indeed manifold reasons for celebrat
ing tho birth of Christ, for bo liberated
all manklnJ.
It is becaufco this omnipotent
Christ was born for us in Bethlehem,
Judea, that we celebrate Christmas.
ft is for Him wo sing those sweet
Christmas melodies. - May wo con
tiuue to praiHe Him evormore.
