IIEISTMAS, both in its ritual and in its sentiment, is alltlost 1466/11tr''irr as old as humanity itself, As far back as you can go we find something very like the Yuletide festival—a season pE rejong,ici attended by a somewhat'boiaterously joyful celebration, do ^p'+���%K About Christmas there is nothing that even approxi mates sectarianism or any kind of mental or social nar- rowness or littleness. Its spirit is as broad as humanity, �t�r and all men of whatever race, creed or geographical statue, jet 1l. aro invited to, and aro entitled to, take part in its glee �/,,I/ festivities. �A 10S 0 Very pitiful is the human being who, in the midst of the Christmaslseason, feels like flocking off by himself, like Dundroary's bird. It is a season, not for isolation and loneliness, but fel fellowship and universal brotherhood, as though we were saying to me another, "ALL HANDS AROUND!" with nobody left out. When we pause to think of the way in which the Christmas originates it becomes easy for us to understand why the season is everywhere made to bo the occasion of deep rejoicing and multiform gladness. * Beyond a doubt the festival had its birth away up in the frozen North, in the,region of the aurora borealis, where the battle between the colo and the heat, the darkness and the light, is the longest and the moat ter- rible; and it was quite natural that at the turn of the sun, when the light and warmth began to return, men should turn.themselves 1(ose in a sort of paroxy(5m of joy. And by degrees the festivities of the men of the far north worked their way southward; for even there the return of the sun meant life to men meant the sunshine and heat without which the human race most perish. The hyperboreana had their Christ, Balder by name, Buldur the,good the gentle, the compassionate, who, taking pity on them, destroyed Vet Frost Giant and saved them from death. We cannot very well blame tilt hyperboreana if, at first, their religion was largely of a material type worship of the sun, for Balder w118 110 moire than the sun idealized: Christ—not the petty Christ of the professional theologian, but the Christ of llumnnity—stands for OPTIMISM.

A large slumber of these men have had farms experience and their services are now available at moderate wages and board. Farmers who can usefully employ one or two of these men at this time will lie rendering a service to the community as well as to them- selves. • Many farmers have repairs and other odd jobs which have been put off for years on account of the hiig11 cost of labor.

If you are able to do so at no other time of the year, during th- Christmas time resolve to have the full courage of your noble self, and 1: let your worthiest and bravest sentiment assert itself to the full, Let joy be unconfined! Again be is said, "ALL IS WELL." The slur is not going to be conquered by the Frost King; the anarchists ante not going to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and the govern- ment that was inaugurated by our venerated Washington; in spite of the little politicians who are ready to "give up to patty -what was meant for mankind," the ways and means of bettering the condition of mankind will surely be found; the life of men and nations shall not have been in vain; and as for Old Death, who awaits us at the end of the little earthly way, for all that we to the contrary he•may turn out to be our best friend, Those who have crossed the north Atlantic• in winter need .not be reminded of the uplifting and joy -giving influence of the gulf stream. Those who have felt it can never forget it. Once fairly upon the mysterious "river of the sea," the chill and numbness of one's body and soul depart, the rigid muscles relax, the pent-up feelings let themselves loose in singing, and chat, and all-round sociability and enjoyreept,.end all the world seem: to be refashioned for the better. And such is Christmas, with its good Will and good cheer, its brave confidence and spontaneous gladness. It is the gulf stream of life, warn- ing us into the sentiment, of a common humanity,. with its unselfishness and comradeship, and imparting to us,all the .glad sense of security and victory.
