This is a rather time worn custom and to some it may seem hackneyed, but it should not. The expression of good will and joy and peace should be ever fresh and new on this day ot days the observance ot wmcn -commemorates the greatest event in all history the birth of Tesus of Nazareth, most spiritual being that ever trod -the earth in human form. His human origin was lowly, he was Uorn'in a stable "because there was no room in the . inn," His parents were humble, lowly working people with little of this world's eoods with which to endow then new born son. But apart form the human side the Babe of Bethlehem was endowed with a spiritual nature which iet him apart from his fellows a divinity with which no other mortal has been endowed. And ic was this divinity, bestowed on him by that Infinite Intelligence which we have learned to call God, that enabled him to establish the greatest school of philosophy or system of religion call ii what von wilf that this world has ever known. His .system is the greatest because it is founded on Love. "Peace on earth, good will unto men" was his slogan, the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," was his ride of life. What a different world this might be today had the people who heard him expound the principles for which he was later doomed to an ignominious death but harkened t,o his words and made then, the foundation for their re ligious and political institutions. What a measure of peace, rosperity and good will might have blessed the world iii run gh the past 2000 yearaihad the priests and preachers and politicians of all' the nations but. accepted his teachings and applied them in their public and private lives. What a Utopia this world might be today had its people been ready to, accept the Golden Rule and to throttle greed and avarice and intrigue and cast them into the discard. Who will say that, could the principles that Jesus taught be made the basis of our personal1 and' national life, conditions as they are' today would continue? Would war be longer tolerated? Would people starve while there is a surplus of. wheat? Would government reek with cor ruption and graft while the people are impoverished by taxes? These arc not cheerful thoughts' for Christmas morn ing, but they should be profitable ones. The way that leads to peace, and prosperity and plenty is plainly marked out; the rules are laid down. All we need to dio is to follow them and thus make our lives a perpetual Christmas Day. Again ttfie Herald wishes one and all a Merry and a Joyous Christmas.
