et’s Begin to Think A HRISTMAS will, this year, find the Christian world slaughtering, starving, freezing and hat- . ing as never before in all the history of civiliza- . It will be hard for even true lovers of Christ Yto call up in their minds the picture of the infant ior smiling in His mother’s arms and already owing with the glory of His mission of love to il men. Instead of that inspiring mental picture must } that of the man Christ turning His tear-stained, "tortured face toward heaven and crying out in "His last agony, “Father! Forgive them, for they not what they do!” : Wher we look upon the loving Christ's orld and see the running bland, the mew graves, the ashes of homes, churches, schools and work- Shops and feel upon us the hot Mast of racial snd t hates that sweeps across the vast field of tation, and even begin to wonder If Christ d and died in vain, there’s no refuge against pair save to take still stronger hold upon our th In spite of the present world-wide horror that rently refutes Christianity and denies the d progress of two thousand years, God rules; He doeth all things well; and from out the pall of suffering, sacritice and slaughter will finally come Christ’s purpose stronger than ever. Christmas will find millions of us Christians —Germans, Austrians, Americans, British, Frencl} Italians—engaged in the business of trying to kill other ChrfStians.

Against the cartiival of slaughter set up 0 great movement of love, brothertiness and heipfulness! Above the roar of guns let us ‘send up the cry of good will to ment Let us this time, as never before, show to the Christ who suffered for us that, despite our dis agreements, our blindness, our madness, we are still His children, still eager to walk in the path of love that He marked out with every step He took toward awful Calvary! How can we do this? In our homes it has been the custom to make Christmas the occasion of exchange of* presents, It is a pretty custom, It arouses domestic joy. The kiddies have saved their pennies. Mother has secretly “made things.” Father has dug for an allowance to meet holiday bills. ‘ A few days of family exuberance, with per- haps a ttle of religious fervor in it, some really beautiful s@ntimagt that’s rather ephemeral, and then the usual order of things. .
