Celebrating Christmas
The
ceases,
comes
know
day. Jt contains a mystic touch, and
ushers us into an atmosphere so
different to any other season of the
year.
Are we really ready this year to
celebrate Christmas? For six weeks
the stores have been begging us to
do our shopping early. The post
offices have asked that we mail our
packages early. The gifts to our
loved ones overseas have gone long
since. In fact for a month we have
been on the rush getting ready
Christmas. Now, it has come,
most gladsome day of the year,
have made ready our gifts,
I festal meals and our homes,
have we prepared our hearts to
celebrate the coming into the world
of One, who if truly received,
creates within us a new heaven and
a new earth. If not, we have woe
fully missed, the real meaning of
Christmas.
It may seem strange celebrating
Christmas in Europe where wars
are raging, and the music of angels
seems to be. drowned out and the
plight of the world seems to mock
at the Christmas message of “Peace
on earth, goodwill toward men.”
And yet in all parts of these devas
tated lands there are hearts that
will rise above the hellish horror,
in which they are compelled to live
and fight, which will have dreams
of a new world for which they long
and hearts which will be haunted
by the vision of world unity and
Peace. Hearts which are willing to
'suffer that their dreams may
’come true, and hearts with feelings
[which will not degenerate, into hat
red and bitterness. Surely such Souls
whether in Europe, the Southern
Pacific or in the struggles in China,
will be able to’ truly celebrate the
spirit of Christmas.
How many of our loved ones are
returning home for 'Christmas. We
hear them say, “Home for Christ
mas.” There is something magical
about those words. They conjure
up. such nostalgic memories, for
Christmas is essentially a family
affair. This is the sixth in a pro
cession of war-time Ohristmasses—
a not-too-happy record, but it Is
the brightest Christmas for hope
of family reunion, since the war be
gan. Nothing gives us such a sense
of security as our own home—oui'
own people—-family ties and the
feeling of being wanted.
There are many families among
us whose loved ones are far away

“SYMBOLS”
There stood a lighted Christmas tree, and at the top, a “Star”;
Beneath, a burning candle, throwing beams afar;
While little children’s stockings hung neatly in a row;
Then, little faces, shining bright, lit with joyful glow;
With Christmas cards and parcels, sent to cheer hearts so forlorn;
And kindly greetings ringing out, to greet the Christmas morn;
Sweet carols sounding in one’s ears, of Baby Jesus’ birth;
A hush, and silent reverence, covering the earth;
These symbols, with simplicity, proclaim a Presence near;
And One, with Voice proclaimeth, “Fear not, for J am here.”
