MEANING of
CHRISTMAS
BY REV. T. B. GREGORY
Looking np, he saw, Instead of the
"black, bottomless eyesocket," the liv
ing, loving glance of the "Father,”
whose “eternal goodness” would never
do him harm.
Looking ahead, this man saw no
spooks or bogles, no devils or fiends
In the way. The path was clear, and
over It hung no dark clouds of impend
ing disaster.
If Jesus had written a poem we
may be sure that It would have been
very similar to Whittier’s:

Similar tales are told of Preston, in
Lancashire, and Been, in the Nether
lands. This latter city was famed for
its beauty and magnificence, and also
for the sins and avarice of its inhabi
tants. On the anniversary of his birth,
the Saviour came as a beggar and went
from door to door; but, although
Christmas festivities were being kept
up, nobody would give him aims. Sin
was abundant on all sides, but there
were no Christmas goodwill and char
ity. and he called to the sea and it
came and completely covered the un
holy city of Been. But at Christmas
time even now comes the Joyous peal
ing of bells from under the water.
