Ch ristmas, the MiracleI I BY CHARI 'S 11EYR!' BRENT Henry Brent, a native of Newcastle, Ontario, for The Buffalo Courier-Expre.zs uf Decent.ber 25, 1926. was republished in its issue i of December 25. 1929, for tvwo reasons: First, it is one of the most magnificent Cr~îa messages ever written; second. since the death of BishoP Brent. there bas been an increasingly general recogni tion of the fact that he was one of the world's great spiritual leadrc-.- f a'l! 'înrc andi a correspondingly general interest in the words which he spoke and wrote and the deeds which he did. The Statesman. through the kinidness of Mr. Arthur A. Elford. a Durham County boy, who mailed us this clipping last year. is glad to carry to its readers the inspiring Christmas message which Bishop Brent, with characteristic graciousries. wroto fotir yeqrF ago. The fertilizing river, Christmas, thc, greatest miracle in a world of miracles. flows carolling through the viney rds of the humnan race with strong, unhurryiflg tide. In itself it is s0 simple. the anniv'ersary o! a Baby's birth. Its influence is so, amaziflg. the conversion of a selflsh world to unselflshness. It glides with magie power. With its benediction it caresses the banks o! time. Cities of Jay are enriched at its touch as it goes singing on its way; barren wastes are fructified; hardened hearts are softened. So f ull o! loving nature is it that it would fain convert the toiling alleys of men into the smiling uplands o! the Kingdom of God. The first characteristic o! Christmas is its winsame beauty. Its introduction to earth was wth a mother's lullaby. an angellc chorus with pastoral homage and kingly gl!ts. As it began. so it continued its course-in royal beauty. it awoke the hand o! art zo that the galleries of the world have as their cholcest treasure Madonfl5 and Child. It chainmed to if e the poet's gi!t o! sang. Milton's Ode to the Nativity stands as the chie! jewel in a corona of simple carols and noble Christmas verse o! and ta Jesus Christ. Bis divine maJesty does not obscure Bis human dearness and nearness: "Sleep. little baby, 1 love thee. Sleep. little Ring, I amn bending above thee. How should I know what to sing Bere in my arms as I swing thec to sleep? Hushaby low. Rockaby so. Rings may have wonderful jeweh to brinc Mother has only a kiss for her K-ing! Why should my singing so make rie to "' Only 1 know that I love the..I love thee. Love thee. my littie one. sleep." Around the manger-bed the theologies. th, th'y~:e.i% ethical speculations of the ages linger and circle. and out o! the mystic Thing. which la God's Son. they weave tiei" fi' :rdfabricFZ o! thought. Faith. hope and love hover above thc Zabe. In Him they find drink to quench their thirst for God. visiont satiý;fv their yearning for the best. the heart's de-'- that catches us away f rom self up into the glad heights o! servi- to Hlm. This is the creative wealth with wl'¶rhý the Chi 's runs as it gaes lilting through the ages in f ull tide, offerin-, of its riches to ail who will ta receive. Fxoc' fitting that the joy- spot o! the year should be a little Child! What other religion o! the world bas dared to make the birth of a bAbe a chie! festival in its calendar? Only an immortal Ba""c = :. nim- mortal anniversary. Though B-e grew ta tast.p the ioys and sorrows o! manhood, Be is today still thie Babe. for into and through Bis maturity He ever preserved. unsoilfpd and unspoiled. the beauty and the power o! Bis infancy and c'.hlllhood. H, came. bearing in Himnself God's best. Gad's very best. God's self. Grod's very self. For why? That by Bis self-gi! t Be might demonstrate the love which. be-cause o! our limitations of intellect. we cannot understand. Sa Christmlas Is gl!t-day. Was there ever such an orgy o! giving as now marks the perennlally recurrlflg f eat We shal not belittle the spirit of giving even if it is not all perfect. It la impossible to kill Christmas. Its Author was killed that Christmas might live. For one day in the year at any rate we cannot but thlnk a! others and show aur thought by action. Christmas compels us. We cannot escape the fertilizing power o! the insistent Chrstmias river. it performs its miracle an- nually on a self-seekiilg world and for the moment man lives on a high plane o! unselflshness. one larnents for the littIe childrefl who know no Christmlas. The sob cornes ta my throat as 1 think of a single "ernpty stock- ing." It is the Child who set the Christmfas river flowing, so that Christmas can be only for chldren i act or children in heart and mind. One lanierits for tiiose who have neyer learned to give f rom the compulsion o! love or whc> glve only to those who have. We pray the God o! Christmras ta awakeri tlem. A wee girl had a slck brothier--slck unto death. The word went forth that "orrly a miracle could save hlm." Little sister pondered over the saylng. Ber duty beme clear. Gathering together her preclous pennies she laid them on the counter a! a nearby store and sald she wlshed to bu3' a miracle. "A what. my chlld?" said the clerk. "A miracle. I must have a miracle. I have a sick brother and they say only a miracle cari rave hixn"* A big man standing by said ta her- "Lttie one, I arnt a miracle. Take me ta your brother."Il Band irn hand they went ta the sick bed. The big man was a wlse and skilled physiciari wfr became the miracle that saved her brothers Il! e. For us, if we only knew It. Chrlstmas is the great Worid Miracle that can alone save- our lives !rom ourselves, rationafly not less than individaullY. 1% gives us the C?îrst. It weants Ss f rom selftsh calculations. pofltlcally, industr1iaM' and perscriifly- !It emancipates us f ram f ear.
