It would be found , . in the fact that its Founder, instead of appear- ing among men soddenly, as a great leader. , attended by signs and wonders, and acclaimed by the great and mighty of His race, came to the world as a babe. in all the appealing help- ' Ies_sness and need of infancy.. that He grew up among others. as another child would grow: learning, developing gradually and pre paring -tot' -His life work. apparently like any other :of -=-the world's workers. . . The corning of the Christ in this way to an earthly home has sanctified 'he home, with all its tender relationships, above all other institutions. The common duties. the close associations of the family. have been hallowed forever by the life in that humble home in Nazareth . and thus it is that Christmas is essentially a home festival. The cheer, the atmosphere of peace and good -will which should be manifest at this season must have Its centre in the home if it is to radiate true' warmth to all around. . . Fortunately the power to enter heartily into the joys of the season is not confined to either the rich and•powerful on the one hand. or to the poor on the other. The angels song heralded the glorious birth to humble shepherds. and the star guided the Wise Men of the East carrying of their wealth to the new King . so, today, the Christmas gladness is shared alike by rich and poor, by. high and lowly, and, the simple worship of the shep- herds is as, acceptable as are the costly.gifts of the Magi.. .
