from cankering care and selfishness and envy in a year of toil
and strife and consuming unrest. Christmas, marvelous boon
to humanity, springing legitimately from the brief, eventful
life of the carpenter's Son, is a fixed institution The twen­
tieth century could not spare it if it would; wouldn't if it
could. The Christmas spirit is everywhere pervading the world
for this brief, blessed day. Leveling ranks, silencing selfish­
ness, dwarfing care, ignoring toil, forgetting creed and cult
and birth and environment, it makes peace and good will not
only possible, but inevitable. The gifts it bears are the spon
taneous fruit of the omnipotent, all pervading spirit of Christ­
mas—a wellspnng in the desert, a sunbeam on a wintry day, a
single exception to a steadfast rule. The spirit of Christmas
never cloys. We cannot have too much of it. Morning, noon
and night, for breakfast, dinner and supper, the first thing on
awaking and the last thing on going to sleep, every hour of
every day of every week of every month of the year we want
the spirit of Christmas, for it is the spirit of ministration, of
giving, of service, of doing for others.
“Not to be ministered nnto, bnt to minister”—this motto
lived ont on every day of the y t u would dispel the sorrows of
the world, smooth out its wrinkles, abolish its poverty, soothe
its pain, comfort its heartaches, heal its diseases, make it a
heaven This is what is typified by every Christmas tree and
every gift it bears, by every bulging little stocking that hangs
in the chimney corner, by every wreath of holly, by every
greeting and merry wish.
