The very term Christ- mas proclaims that though our eyes are holden that we do not see. We still look Iniilstur and keep up hope." For many centuries the 25th of December has been observed at Chris- tmas. it is supposed to commemor- ate the day of the birth of Jesus Christ. At first the day was observ- ed only by Christian people in touch with the Roman Catholic Church. " later grew into favor with Protestant churches and has come to be recog- nized as a universal Christian i'esti-! val. Today it is celebrated about the; world, in pagan lands as well as', Christian lands. It comes nearer Gl being a universal holiday than anyi other day observed by mankind. There‘ is a spirit and an atmosphere about the day that is contagious. While vast multitudes of people may observe the day without any serious thought of what lies back of it there are still great multitudes to whom it has significance because it marks the day I of birth of Jesus in Nazareth, the gift of God to a lost world. We may not think much of what” lies back of the gifts which passl among us, but every one of them is re‘ 1 lated to the "unspeakable Gift" which i sprang from the love of God. If 00d 1 had not so loved the world as to give _ His only begotten Son. there would ' be no Christmas and no Christmas gifts . Every token of love that pas- ses from one person to another is. but a retiection ot' that great love that expressed itself in the gift of God.‘ The angels which came over Bethle- hem's field and the shepherds whoi gathered in the humble manger in Bethlehem, have had their songs re- echoed and the gift duplicated in all ages since. God's gift was an inter- pretation of the universal heart i.) mankind, and throughout the centur- ies that heart has responded in its in-! numerable gifts at Yuletide. 1 T, ,9 a 331% It will be well tor us as individuals,‘ if We recognize the source from! which our Christmas cheer has) sprung. while we thank the loved), ones from whom We have received‘ Christmas gifts.
