F HUMAN NATURE is the combination of 6elf-seeking,
ambition and greed which some materialistic philoso-
phers assert it is; if life is a content in which all finer
sentiments are subordinated to self-advancement and suc-
cess at any price, how is it that the spirit of Christmas
has not only endured but grown in power during nearly
2,000 years? If the pessimists are right, it would seem that the light
would have been extinguished long since and with it the spirit would
have departed. .
Were history and our daily lives not replete with evidences —
noble evidences too—of the unselfishness in men's hearts, we might
be impressed with the teachings of the sordid and the carpings of
the morbid. Christmas is the symbol and a celebration of love—love
which is synonymous with charity and which our purest teaching
tells us is the fineSt attribute of the soul. We, who during the paSt
few weeks have watched the Yuletide preparations, are prepared to
say that they represent a beautiful manifestation of that attribute.
We have noted the working girl taking home at night her par-
cels; contributions wrung from the dole of her necessities, in order
that she may testify to her love and bring a measure of cheer to
some child, some relative, some friend. Tired from her daily toil may-
hap, but in her eyes that something which transcends all fatigue;
transcends, in fad, everything else in the world and comparable only
to that which shone from a mother's eyes upon the Babe in Bethle-
hem. Friends, in the face of these and so many other manifestations
which we are all witnessing during this season, what right has one
of us to say that the Light of the World grows dimmer?
Our hearts tell us there is no dimming. Let us be thankful for
the extra radiance of Christmas. Let us seek to carry it into our daily
lives. Our wish is, that this occasion, at leaSt, will help all of us to
forget our tribulations and sorrows, our complaints and animosities,
and that it will be to all a day of cheer and everything which Yule-
tide typifies. The words of Tiny Tim have never been improved
upon and we here invoke them: "God bless us all!"
