But the way has been disclosed to man so he may one dav find the elusive "peace on earth, goodwill to men." So we give pause at Christmas to pay honor to a Babe, even In a world of trial and trouble, in a day of war and rumors of war, acknowledging Him of a lowly manager, a king among philoso phers, the Master of teachers, the Lord of all. ,. . , There was "no vacancy" to Him at the Inn. But In the nights and days since many have found room to let Him in. . .and the Light has shone. ' It cannot be hid. It has Dot gone out. As we sing the old carols, pre serve -the tdesls, appreciate the heritage that we often take lor granted, the Miracle of Christmas will be repeated.

Although holidays traditions were restored by the Stuarts, the Christmas season never quite regained its place of Importance in English celebrations. Today it is observed as a re ligious day in the churches and as a . day for family gatherings, but has never : again been cele brated with the boisterous spirit and sumptuous feasting of olden times. The English people celebrate to a greater extent on Boxing Day, December 26. marking this day with gift-giving and parties. This feast dav antedates Christmas and is traced to the custom of gift giving during the Roman festival of Saturnalia. So, today the- children receive their gifts in boxes and it is the day that employers remember their , old - employees with , gift boxes; ft ft ft ft V ViMjep pretfcnteii unto fjim gtfte; golb.ana irartKincensfe, anb mjrrlj. 1 'CSaflB The Nativity, according to Si. lAtkv. (Chapter 3-Verses 1 llirouuh 17) And It came to pass In those days, that Uiere went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this u'xliig was first made when Cy renlus was governor of Syria! And all went to be taxed, every one lino his own city. And Joseph also went up from Onlllre, out of the cllv of Naia relli. into Judaea, unto the clly of David, which Is called Bethle hem: (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) to be taxed with Marv his espoused wife, being great with child. And so It was, that, while they were there, the days were ac complished that aha should be de livered. And she broUKht forth her llrstbom son, and wrapped hlin In swaddling clothes, and laid lilm In a manger: because there was no room for them in the Inn. And there were In the same country shepherds abiding In Uie field, xeeplnir watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord ram upon them, and the glory of the I-ord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great Jov, which shall be to all people, For unto you Is born this uuv In the city ol David, a Saviour, which Is Chrtal Uie Lord. And this shall be a slut) unto you: Ye shall Hud Uie bubo wrapped In swuddllng dollies, ly ing In a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising Uod, and snylnv, tllory lo Clod In the highest, ami on earth peace, good will toward men. And It came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them Into heaven the shepherds said one lo another . . , Let us now go even unto HrtlileliPiii, and sen i thing whirl) la come In puns, whirl) bum UMtii iiinmi' aiiuwil unto 111, And they came Willi haste. ui., found Mary, and Joseph, and U. unbo lying In a manger.

Visit of the Wise Men, ncfriliiig io Si, Man how (Chapter 3 Verses 1 through 1J) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea In the daya of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying. Where is he that is born King of the Jewai for we have seen his star In the east, and are come lo worship bun. When Herod the king had heard these things, he waa troubled and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of Uie people together he demanded of Ihem where Christ should be born. And Ihey said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus It his written by the prophet. And thou Bethlehem. In the land o( Juda. art not the least among the princes of Juda: lor out o( thee shall come a Governor, that shall ru'e mv peonle Israel. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said. Oo and search diligently for the young child: and when ye have found him. bring me word again, that I may come and wor ship bim also. When they heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw In the east, went before them, till It came and alood over where the young child was. When Ihey saw Uie star, Ihey rejoiced with exceeding great Joy.- And when they were come Into Uie house, Uiay saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures. Uiey presented unto him gifts: gold and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of Ood In a dream Uiat ihey should not return to Herod, they departed Into Uielr own country another way. And when Uiey were departed, behold Uie angel of Uie Lord ap peared to Joseph In a dream, saying. Arise, and take the young child and his mother and Ilea Into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will see the young child to deatrov him. Word'Xmas' In Other Not Always Irreligious It Is a common belief that the word "Xmaa' Is Improper and sacrilegious. It la thought that thu usage Indicates disrespect and lack of dignity. The Oreck name for Christ Is "X" and Is represented bv this letter. Its shape, by coincidence. Is also a cross, which came lo re present Uie figure and symbol ol Christ. When Christians In the earlv pe riods of Chrlsllaiiliy wished lo make a representation of the Trin ity, they placed an "X" or a eross beside the names ol the Father and the Holy Uhost. From Ihls usage came the short ened form of Xmaa to stand for Uie complete word Christmas. Languages...
