The mean- ing is not that all whe profess and call them- selves Christians will keep the day alike or with greater or less sincerity as it may be observed with medieval fervor, puritan austerity or modern cheerfulness and benevolence. Bat it iw that the stamp of the time will be impressed on it. The greater moderation and wider com- prehension of the “end of the century,” as the French would call the period through which we are passing, are shown in @ thonsand ways and the effect of this broadening of the faculties is to refine the stronger parts of human nature and lift up the whole man toa nobier plane. The age is not simply the age of the greatest material de- velopment; it is the era of the highest evolu- tion of the man out of the human, of life itself from existence. If some period in the future shall be richer till in social developmen: or spiritual results its Christmastide will show the fact in an added fullness of social or spiritual content. The joys and the serions lesson of the day are for ‘exch generation what that generation contains in itself over and above all other generations that have preceded it. ‘The free institations, the free broad thought of the last decade of the nineteenth century—what aro these but the resultants of the combined forces of Christianity on human society from the be- ginning? Theat wonderful “myth,” as the unregenerate incredulous critic calls the reve- lation of Christ, has done what no mere myth has ever wrought in the history of mankind— it has created the grandest civilization of the world, a civilization that has abolished human slavery in all civilized lands, that has founded ons scale somewhat commensurate with buman suffering institutions for the relief of the physically afflicted anc brought to those who sat in great darkness the illumina- tion of science and faith and salvation of the diseased soul. Say nothing of law and govern- ment, nothing of civil or religious liberty, and rest the case on these *hree “m peculiar to Christian civilization. How supe- rior to Athens, with her handful of citizens in a myriad of busy workers: to Rome, with her slaves thrown to wild beasts when they did not till her corn lands o- write her literature; to Egypt or Babylon, with their learned priests and their haman beasts of burden delving in the earth through ages for the material with which to erect temples or pyramids! ——— It is the systematic and thoughtful and not the emotional giver whose gifts are valuable. Inconsiderate giving is hurtful in two ways—it depletes the capital from which substantial good might be done to the needy and it injures the recipient, who abuses the advantage received or at least is incapable of using it. This is notably true of the very poor when presented with large quantities, more than can be safely consumed in a brief period, of dain- ties or perishable articles of any kind. The giving which ministers to pressing want in such cases is that which is timely. To others the best gifts are those that may be described atastroke as characteristic either of the pre- sentor or the preseutee and which, not usually of large pecuniary value, depend on the occa- sion and some personal quality of giver or recipient for their value us gifts So far as ebarity giftaare coucerned—and these should be carefully divested of the regulation charity pattern —the object shouid be to place the re- cipients in a Lappy frame of mind. One of the Veet elements of this happiness is that produced by a state of thankfulness to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. ‘Tbe spirit of benevo- lence extending from the donor to the donee goeson in increasing circles through society. ‘The custom of giving Christmas gifts is hal- Jowed by tradition and immemorial usage and seams likely to Le perpetaated to the remotest posterity. Itis a part of the divine gift of Christianity to man and bodies forth the grace, the gentleness, the kinduess, the love of the Mas- ter's mission on earth. — There is a dark as well ae a bright side to Christmas. To those who are in the midst of happiness and plenty there must at some times come a darkening thought of “the other half? that lives in misery and want. The efforts for the relief of the poor have gradually grown until the greater portion of the jiocal distress is is known and to some extent mod- The experience of some ladies of this city who adopted a most wholesome form of Christmas entertainment bas snown that much can be doue toward making the needy happy. A publication in Tuz Stax brought hundreds of cages to light where assistance was needed to make Christmas merzy. Tux Stan at once or- ganized a bureau whose business it was to help Saute Claus out in his mission among the homes of the poor and by hard work and the exercise of much discrimination a great deal of good was accomplished. There is} reason to expect that so good a beginning may with persevering cevelopment bave important results in the future. +s ___ “A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard” may be regarded as a quotation that bas some~ thiug more than mere superstition for its basis. It is an epigrammatic warning of the dangers that lurk in uuseasonable weather, ard should suggest precaution rather than excite dismay. When the Christmas is green, dou't leave off Your overcoat, don’t try to cool off too quickly, svoid drafts, and the chances are that the grave- Yard portion of the proverb will Lave small pigaiticauce. —— The storm that drenched Washington yee- terday punctuated Baltimore with thunder and lightaing, which shows that this is a Chyistmas altogether out of the common.
