Happy, indeed, should be this Christmas day. j of the Although for hundreds of years prior to the birthwas the to Christmas Savior, a winter festival corresponding can it only chief holiday in most of the countries of the world, be compared to our present holiday in form and not in spirit. Perof some sia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome celebrated the birthdays one of their gods shortly after the winter solstice. The difference in the spirit of their festivities and the modern Christmas characters of the heathen spirit comes from the contrast of oftheChrist. Their supreme god, deities and the life and character a murderer; Mercury, a thief, Jupiter, was an adulterer; Mars, the Bacchus, a drunkard; Venus, a prostitude, and so on down all virof embodiment the line. Christ was gentle, humble, kind, tues, the exponent of all truth, The signs of the times, at least in so far as Provo is concerned, Savior of the world, points to a celebration of the birthday of the Nazarene and taking with the spirit born of the meek and lowly upon it the essence of beauty and tenderness from the life and character of the beloved Son of. God. Let us all endeavor to echo the words of Paul : So laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how' he said: It is more blessed to give than to re- ceive HEAVENLY CAROLING Caroling is as old as the Christmas qf the Christians. The shepherds of Judea watching over their flocks by night were greeted with the hymns of heavenly messengers above. The birth of the Christ child was heralded to the world by song. The beautiful harmony and pleasing sweetness of every Christmas hymn since the advent of the Messiah have been but delicate instrumentality for broadcasting the message of the anPeace on earth, and good will gels that first Christmas morn: to men. It is not strange therefore that Christmas caroling should have become such a universal custom in England. Rather is it all but died. strange that the custom should soon thereafter haveannouncement And it is a sign of the times that once again the of the birthday of the Savior should be heralded by sweet musical Everything for the Automobile- Then glory to the living God forever! The angels in concordant numbers sang; And while the trembling shepherds did endeavor To hush their hearts, the anthems clearly rang, 409 West Like minstrelsy of harps that freely hang Where gentle breezes sweep their magic strings. The strains of triumph soothe each fearful pang, As songs of gladness praise the King of kings, Till oer the hills and dales celestial music rings. From deepest fountains of the human heart, They were the sign of joy that oft appears, To show the utter helplessness of art In manifesting all that love and light impart. , The armaments that stir the fiends of strife Have thundered out like oracles of fate. To crush to ashes all the forms of life That yield not to the tyrants creed of hate. But soon the storms of battle will abate, For once again the mighty Prince of Peace Is calling to his aid the good and great. To force the beating drums of war to cease. That all the joys of life may flourish and increase. The men of wisdom once again have come From plains and mountains of the distant east, For lips of the oppressed, no longer dumb, IJemand that they disarm the savage beast Of war, for they behold the gruesome feast' Of this inhuman, monster-go- d of hate, j Too long their choicest goods have been released From starving innocence to satiate This enemy of life, proud, insolent and great. Star of Bethlehem was moving west, And wise men followed it across the sea, For they were weary and were seeking rest In this asylum of the brave and free. Their millions who have died for liberty Inspire them to perform a noble part In helping all the world to clearly see That love is Balm of Gilead to the heart. And that its peaceful rule is still the finest art. And we who in the Occident now live Will move across the old, provincial line And learn that only those who freely give mas- P. ing experience necessary.

No other bells that peal from lofty towers Can peal with such melodious, merry chime As those of Christmas with their theme sublime. Peace, peace! they clearly herald to the world.

Thy message, Lord, has never seemed so dear As now when all the world is in distress. For nations listen with an eager ear To Christmas melodies that cheer and bless And charm the wayward world to linger and confess. Sweet bells of Christmas that renew the birth Of Jesus in the humble human heart, Ring out your minstrelsy to ail the earth In tones of cheerfulness that will impart The Balm of Gilead to the wounds that smart.
