IIevv (tiristmas to all
God rest you merry, gentlemen!
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas Day.
If Jesus had been born nineteen hundred years
later and had begun to teach His gospel during
the war, He woul have spent Christmas Day in
the courts or un4er sentence to the penitentiary..
If He had talled in Washington as He talked
in Jerusalem Ae would have been denounced as
a wicked traltot by many militant ministers,
have been vilified by most of the newspapers,
would have, been arrested by Government agents,
would probably have been brutally beaten by the
Bomb Squad and would have been told in court
that all this was done to Him to teach respect
for law, order, and the Christian religion.
Jesus would not have had a chance to talk in
Washington during those two years of brutality
and frenzied lunacy. Even the women of a uer
tain type would have fought to tear His eyes out.
Today Jesus would be reasonably safe in visit
ing Washington in the flesh and preaching His
doctrine of peace, good will, and passive re
sistanee.
.world has got that far bask on fta wa
1asomettng to be thankful for on this
Christmas Day.
It is not a whole lot, to be sure. But it is
something.
And itis something because it is an approach
-no matter how halting and feeble-toward the
spirit of the Christmas, which is the spirit and
the essence of all that Jesus said and did while
He walked among men.
When we forsake humbug and attempt merely
to SAY something that sounds fine or eloquent
or pious, and get down to brass tacks and REALI
TIES, the human characteristics of Jesus which
challenge the homage of all men are His good
ness, Nis kindness, His tolerahce of weakness,
His scorn of cant and camouflage, His sense of
economic justice, and His determined and out
spoken opposition to the powerful predatory
classes that were kow-towed to in His day-to
the bankers who had made the Temple a den of
thieves, to the lawyers who served them, to the
scribes who flattered them, to the judges and the
high priests who were controlled by them and to
the whole body of profiteers and exploiters that
composed them-exactly as they compose ow
the so-called conservative and self-styled "better"
classes.
It is almost as unpopular today as it was in
the time of Christ to teach that the fatherhood
of God means the brotherhood of man, and that
a civilization based upon selfishness, greed, cor
rup tion, violence, and the wholesale murder of
millions by command of the few who govern may
be rich and splendid, but is not Christ-like.
The blunt truth is that the so-called Christian
world practices the teachings of Jesus Christ
only one day In the year.
On Christmas Day we all practice the doctrine
that It Is more blessed to give than to receive, and
all generously strive to do to others as we would
that they should do to us.
These are the two fundamental teachings of
Jesus Christ, and in their brief words are con
tained all the fundamentals of true social happi
ness. true social justice, trepltetrue eco
nomils, true and pemnent ciiaton.
This world wil ever be as bright and joyous
ar~d beautiful and al ther desirable as it could
be until sek day of e ear is Christmas Day.
We think that desirable and happy timewl
come eventually. It Is not npw, and tmy not
be for nany, m~~er. But the seed which
Jesus he, inceae and bring to
after i Od hwiefield of the d
is cove :1 ath the bgautiful harvest, and the
air of e' l and is- glad with the sons of
the reapa si~nging in their sheaves with
A aervrisa to you all, dear frid.
