CHWSTMAH MAGIC
From Ihe tlrac immemorial, Christ
,,, h.r, hspii il mysterloua and nmg-
i..oi .t,i.,i Tim aun has gone his
i..nir uiiv Into the. darknesH, and na
iIiii.h like children have thought with

bcr, he turned. II must have taken
three or (our days for Kropinii mind,
to realize lhat the backward swine
hnd reallv been started, wiieu 11.
realization came, what delight muat
have been theirs!
There were nations, who, when the
rlaikuexa settled down, cut a green
tree and decked It in bright thing
to show (heir sods lhat they want
ed blossom" and fruils Instead of
continuous cold. And when Ihe suu
turned back for them, roust they not
have believed that there was magic
111 the tree?
Shakespeare had his word ahoul
lha 1'hiisliiias magic being suiierlo
to any other. In his day, such words
as "magic and ' mystery were tan
en with a literalness we hardly know
today
Some Bay that ever 'gainst that sea
son comes
Wherein our Savior's birlh is cme
braled.
The bird of dawning slngeth nil
night long:
And then, they say, 110 spirit (lures
to stir abroad:
The nights are wholesome then no
planets strike.
No fairy tales, no witch hath power
to charm,
So hallowed and so gracious Is t hi
time."
And, coming down through the
aged to our present day, If Santn
Clans Isn't marie, the highest and
whitest of high while magic, what
Is? Does not the very thought or
him, the very pronouncement of his
name, turn grouches Into generous
givers, warm cold hearts, turn hnrd
headed materialists to tender idcall
Ists, If only fur the day?
Most magical of all, and yet most
human and natural, Is Ihe fact that
in our time It Is the hlrth or a little
child, helpless, almost friendless, In
a dim and far-off cave, that stirs our
spirits into this rush of Christmas
Joy, a joy which is near to tears.
And it Is ttie children's laughter,
their awe and wonder over Ihe mys
tery of Christmas morning, thai
touches Ihe deepest springs of hu
man emotion, the memories of which
nro longpst and warmest In all hearts
And If here he magic In memory.
In love, in Joy, surely no power cue
withstand the white radiance of ilui'
one day when the wheels of Hie
earth Rlnnd sllll und everything
counts as naught save love and hap
piness of children.
