To rule and riegn with gentle sway,
The King of Love was born today.
No palace walls enclose him round,
Dut in a manger was he-found;
That so the boastful world might see
The greatness of humility.
He came, a child, in lovely grace.
That so a child might seek his face;
So poor was he, the humblest born
Might come, without a fear of scorn.
To all mankind he showed the way,
And ushered in the dawn of day.
And so, with grateful love and praise,
We bail this blessed day of days.
The children's joy, the poor man's
feast,
The star of hope to great and least;
When holy angels come to earth,
And sing anew a Savior's birth!
HRISTMAS is indeed the holiday of humanity and by that token no less interesting than human-
ity itself. The rich current of its observance has to carry all the bequests of other ages—their
ideals, their hopes, their recollections, the beliefs that had won the right to live, the gracious,
joyoui customs which had won the same right by helping or heartening nu n, as well as all that
our age can contribute to it from the material, artistic and spiritual side. The modern feeling has
made a place, as the fei iing of each age is sure to do. for the mood of carnival as well as the
mood of faith. It can weave into the fabri; of the holiday time thelittle spectacles of fireside felicity, the affec-
tionate pledges of friends, he cheer of the loaded family boards or banquet tnble, the taper light? and organ mu-
sic of cathedrals, the offerings of music and the drama and all the noble r> oduct of the artist and the artisian.
In a sense Christendom takes inventory of itself at this time in each of its thousand ac tivities.
One of the benefactions of the holiday is that it gives men the chance to do this and puts them in the mood
to do int. It is the last and greatest " truce of God." The pause it imposes is not so much on war's alarm, al-
though the din of conflict grows ever feebler the while the message of "good will unto men" deepens into deed
and custom, as it is on the absorptions and distractions of an age so wrapped up in its pursuits that it hardly
has time to look about it. At Christinastide iron do look about them. That its atmosphere of a good one or a
generous man out of*a selfish one is one of the paradoxes whereof perhaps we must look to the genial fiction of
Dickens for complete verification, nut it does make men kinder, more thoughtful, more serene, than their wont.
