discover the cheat and learn to lie
and deceive, with parental exam ples

opportunity to tell them th a t C h ritt

C hristm as it a Christian festival.
It is joyous. H om es and friends
thould be made m erry
Good-will,
I gifts and blessings thould flow in
large stream s to gladden life. Music
thould swell and epecially the music
of the soul. O ur whole city thould
be a t near like the primeval Eden,
before tin entered, as we can make
it, but let us not forget that we
should be careful not to give o u r
selves over to w orldly passions, for
it it C hrist’s birthday—which we
celebrate. T here thould be no Bach-
analian rioting.
A celebration of the day which
has no thought or care for Him,
thould not com m end ittelf to C hrist-
ians. L et u t not follow the crow d,
m oving with mob psychology, ex
cited, boisterous and lost to o u r
selves. Let u t keep ourselves. Do
not lote control. O ur integrity, our
piety and our influence for God
and H is Son, whose birthday it it,
dem ands that we shall know how
to refuse to partake in sinful in
dulgencies, such a t would bring the
blush of sham e to the cheeks of our
I-ord.
A nd now, beloved, my m essage is
ended. I love you with the solicitous
care of an under-shepherd, and w ith
you a M erry, M erry C hristm as! in
keeping w ith the spirit of these
w ords: “ F o r the grace of God has
appeared to save all men, and it
(C ontinued from Page 1)
devotion, as we rem em ber th a t "T he
grace of God has appeared!”
Once m ore. I am by the side of
that m anger in Bethlehem. I see a
new -born babe. It is a helpless babe
needing a m other’s care. It is all
w rapped in sw addling clothes. I still
hear angels singing, alth o ’ in reality
their voices are hushed. I still hear
heaven's m essage ringing, a lth o ’ it
form ally ended with an announce
m ent that this infant was "the Son
of the H ighest.”
I look—I listen—! hear— I w onder.
H ere is m ore than I actually see,
because I am w rought upon. I un
consciously fall dow n and w orship.
It is God m anifest in the flesh—“for
the grace of God has appeared."
And now comes science and it I
w hispers: “ Explain it.” Its depths
are too deep for me.
It is the
m ystery of godliness. A teacher once
said, “a religion w ithout its m ysteries
is like a tem ple w ithout a God." The
"fact” explains m ore than any theory
of mine.
T his “grace of G od” is however,
the evolution of the W o rd o f pro
mise into a living fulfilm ent, pu lsat
ing with flesh and blood. It "has
appeared” in a child born; born to
grow , to m ature, to live until sin |
dies and heaven's portals sw ing ajar
for all w ho will believe; born “to
save all m en.” And this astonishing,
needful and m ysterious unity of God
and m an, that cannot be disjoined
in the person of our adorable Lord,
is w hat this day actually brings to
us in that m anger. T his. then, is
w hat C hristm as really means.
A nd next, we inquire, w hat in
fluence should this exert over us?
H ow should we observe the day?
H ow show our rem em brance of this
astounding grace?
Shall we give ourselves over to
w hat is called in this text, “irrela-
tion"? T o a heathen observance, built
around the absurdity of Santa Claus?
T his is irreligion. It is a “trick of
satan to betray C hristians into idol
a try .” It is not long before children
schools u t to renounce irreligion and
w orldly passions and to live a life
of self-m astery, of integrity and of
piety in this w orld."
