The church was packed to capacity. A detailed account of the extremely well presented program will appear In the next issue. The First Christmas One of the most beautiful stories associated with the background of the Nativity of Christ seems to be historically' true. . The temple of Janus in Rome seemed to be a bar- ometer., of peace and war: Its gates were always open as long as there was 'any, official war throughout the Raman world. By the happy coinci- dence it came to pass that when Jesus Christ was born in -Bethlehem for the first time' in mere than a century the gates of the temple of Janus were closed. For many child- ren this will be the first Christmas when they will be able to take part in all the festivities and really enjoy them. The Divine festival which we cele- brate has always been associated with the magic and the mystery of home life. Christmas is the signal for us all to draw the curtain and close the door of that little king- dom in 1, °- dom where the child is king. The church and the home are not two worlds, on the contrary, it is the Na- tivity which sheds the radiance which brightens the eyes of mother and chil, ".Cdhe stores and offices will close their doors at the end of the week in happy confusion. The heads of the families will go home not to escape the Lord of Life but to find him in the church which is our home wherever it may be. "Where meek souls will receive him still the dear Lord enters in". When the Christmas Angel comes to any town to find out how the sons of men are keeping the birthday of Christ surely he must be puzzled. Children have a right to all that Christmas brings and their greatest gift is this loveliest story in the world. Fancily life is sanctified and every mother rich or poor since Mary came to Bethlehem is honoured in the countries which call them- selves christian. The angel may be puzzled at the great commercial pa- geantry of our stores and surprised when told. that some of the presents displayed will not be sold. The sales value of Christmas is probably a new idea in Heaven, but no-one can doubt that the general impression and motif of the season is one of love and kindliness. It does not need the clairvoyant power of an angel to discern that ordinary people are actually trying to conceal the spirit which steals into their hearts during the Christmas rush. Some speak of Yuletide lest it should be suspected that they are thinking of the Angels' song, On hundreds of Christmas trees before the houses in the streets are coloured lights which tell a story of their own. In the hospitals there will be stars shining on the beds of little children because Jesus was once a baby. To our moral homelessness Christ offers the Stable of Bethlehem. It is a good thing in this age of super- latives to get away from the mego- lamania of manmade civilization. Th the words of Gilbert Chesterton we have a sunken garden in the rocks Where God once became very small, it is the miracle of history: To an open house in the evening, Homme shall all men come, To an older place than Eden, And a taller town than Rome; To the end of the way of the wond- ering star; To the things that cannot be and are, To the place where God was Home- less And all men are at home.
