Smythe Palmer, M.A., D.D., vicar ol Holy Trin ity church, Wanstead, England, en the birth of Christ. This sermon is en tirely in words of one syllable. E speaks the mind of God who tells us and would have us know what God thinks, for If It were not for hlin we could not know nt all. "God did so love tho world thut bo gave bis own, oue Son, to be born nt this time for us, to the end flint nil who trust In blm should not die, but have the jlfu which tnsls for aye." Ho came and "dwelt with us" on earth that men might Bee with their own eyes at least one pure life, lived free from sin. Ho was made "flesh of our llesh" and "bono of our bone," "God with us" In truth, but inuu no less, true man und true God a child like one of our own. Thut Is the strange thing, so deep thut no man, wise ns he may be, eun quite tnke It lit. He was to be "God with us," but at the same time "a worm and no mnu" less than it tnun lu the grief and pain nnd scorn which he bore. The texts take our thoughts back to the birth of this day. It in a birthday for the whole world to keep. All men can say: "To us this child Is born; to tis God gave tills son of bis love. I have my share In It" And bo wa are all glad of heart and make our church guy with plants and flowers and sing our hyuius of Joy and keep the feust with gifts and good fare. It Is tho birth day of all our hopes. Now, It was good uows of greiit Joy that tho host from ou high brought to the herds who kept watch on their sheep In the fields. And It is still 10. For us, ns much as for them, was born In thnt sniull town one strong to avc, "Which Is Christ tho Lord." It Is old tiuws now, nnd I fear It falls useful to himself and hopeful to others; second, such care and attention ui4on our dull, co d hearts like somo old 4 STATE INSTITPTION FOR FEEBLE-MINDED. home would give; third, custody for the idolie nnd epileptic.
