CHRISTMAS
; The Herald extends the usual compliments of the sea
son this fine Christmas morning and wishes all its readers
a Merry Christmas. 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.
