Christmas
Unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Savior
which is Christ the Lord
If there be no miracle ir.
Heaven or earth, still is thi
the most potent benedictior
ever dropped into the wistful
heart of mankind. The centu
ries measure their course, life’
seasons revolve and write theii
changing fortunes upon us ir
lines of experience, war fol
lows peace and peace war; and
the manger of humility remains
the shrine of our onlyr hope.
It may be true that this ever
hastening age has enveloped
Christmas with the flavor of
self-indulgence, that we exact
too wolfishly all that is purely
material profit, that we ex
haust ourselves in a mad dis
play of artificial generosity,
that we translate a simple
story into an orgy of the mark
etplace ; this may or may not
be true, and each can answer
for himself. But it is still true
that, in a very instant of time,
every man may find, unde
stroyed, the shrine of recollect
ion hidden in his heart.
That seed of humanity,
placed within us as the gift of
sacrifice at birth, di?s hard—
if at all. It is, after all, some
thing real and filed with mean
ing; it belongs to the imperish
able which, all matter of faith
apart, must believe that right.
is better than wrong, kindness
better than cruelty, sentiment
better than cynicism. For
there is something which is
eternal, something which re
creates, reanimates, ressurects,
even tho the understanding of
it escapes us. We know that
beneath the dead and frozen
surface of the earth • life
breathes and waits its time.
What, in the balance of this j
piofound mystery, is the mis
anthrophy of a withered intell
igence? .
It is perhaps a pity that we
| ever grow up. Or do we? What
is this miracle by which we
capture the fine imagination
of belief other than the flower
ing anew of childhood’s sim
| )le faith? It is the radience of
i nnocence which covers the j
; ;arth and turns men’s eyes, in j
Uaska, in India, in the distant |
mtposts and at the home
'earths, to that group of shop j
lerds plodding their way thru ;
he night to worship the birth I
i >i revelation. There is nothing
ngiaved more indeliably on |
he heart of mankind that the I
i nlinite source of that Stai j
vhich is hope, and of that an-!
;elic chorus pouring down j
^ .rom the heavens with the sub
lime proclamation: “Glory to
God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward
men.
Truly, friends, it needs some-1
thin# more than a smart sneer ■
to iol) the world of that rnajes
i tic moment, be it allegory or
j circumstance; it needs some
thing more profound than the \
piteous airogance of intellect
ual seltdeception to blot out I
from the consolation of hu
manity the grand symposium :
of its transcendant reassur
ance. It is sufficient if man
finds himself borne on the
wings of Christmas, from the
ends of the world straight to
■!he heart of his better self; if
.he Star leads him, remember
ing, to the cradle of his good
intentions.
“But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in
her heart.” And so may we.

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyd'er Alaska Miner
of January 2, 1920
Ever since the mine foreman
fired the white cook and hired
a Chinaman in his place .dis
content has been accumulating
at the Premier Mine. Monday
1 night the men sent an ultima
| tion to the mine management
demanding the removal of the
Celestial. The answer was that
the Chinaman was going to
stay. In the morning most of
the men drew their checks ar d
came down the hill. On their
way to town they were joined
by the road crew at nine-mile.
The men said the cooking was
poor, and this, in conjunction
| with the fact that the cook is
a Chinaman, drove them to
take the action they did. The
men who struck were warm J
that they could not work for
| ihe company again.
'f Under the caption “Slipped a
1 Cog,” the Miner said that
j “force of circumstances” con
| pel led it to miss one issue.
| which would have borne the
! date of December 26.
