Today is Christmas Day. It is
Christmas day alike m peaceful Am
erica and in war torn Euro to
Why ii should be celebrated wilh
Tom and Jerrys and other flowing
and wassail bowls we cannot pre
tend to say, unless it is that toe
ctiaracHuisticc of a much older eele
hration, \uletide or Saturna’ia, are
impianiec; with much naturalness in
this.
We lay no kind of claim to any
originality on anything that we
might say regarding Christmas. So
many poor pulpiteers have been
burning the midnight oil trying to
say something new on this thread
bare topic that the wisest policy
for an impious editor is to frankly
say it is not possible.
And yet the disturbed condition
of the world today, with War ram
pant, may well occasion a few re
marks which otherwise would not
have been uttered.
William T. Stead returning from
a visit to the Passion Play at Ober
ammergau declared that his brain
kept repeating “This is the story
that transformed the world”.
Stead as a noncomfirmist son of
generations of noncomformists, had
inherited an emotionalism which
could not be denied.
If the Titanic’s foundering orf
Cape Race had not closed the surg
ing waters of the deep Atlantic
upon this great journalist, Stead
might well question the transforma
tion which a more peaceful time had
forced upon his intellect. But the
idea fitted in with his enraptured
mood and in a very practical way
lie compelled his journalistic mind
to make the most of the idea vvhicn
entranced him, in a very readable
article in his Review of Reviews
Hut is this the story that has trans
formed the world? Has it brought,
peace to the sons of men? Has it
stilled the earthy unrest of the
Human Sea as incessant as the
heaving of tile tireless ocean? Has it
abated one jot of the idle vanities,
the idler ambitions, the baser hopes
the inglorious dreams, the sordid
ideals of the majority of human
kind? Rather, is it not true that
the world lias transformed the story
merely, so that the truth behind its
visions lias never yi * been realizen.
and tiie world pr< ».:? G.c it? t ex
traordinary speclacie of modelling
its life work utterly at outs with
what it affects to be its firm spirit
ual belief.
Four-fiftlis of the service we see
today is lip service merely. The
main incentive of human action- is
calculating worship of Mammon and
those peaceful activities which in
a more peaceful time stirred an
emotional soul, wore merely the
acts of worship before the Altar of
the Golden Calf and not the heart
sacrifice of the Golden Rule.
We dont think this contrast be
tween men’s professions and men's
practice is at all diffcult of explana
tion.
When Christianity came to the
world it found men’s minds already
formed.
To much that the new thought
offered men, the older thought was
antagonistic. Assimilation could
only take place by the older affect
ing the newer form, so that Christ
ianity became itself paganized. This
is very clear in many festivals. Un
questionably the greater portion of
this Christmas celebration is bor
rowed entire from the Saturnalia
which had preceded it in the Roman
economy, or the Yuletide which had
been Its archetype in the Teuton or
Gothic economy. And what had
taken place in the feast took place
much more imperceptibly, muen
more insidiously, much more seri
ously in the moral and intellectual
development of Christianity in pa
gan lands.
Paganism became obsolete, but
before it became obsolete it grafted
its many characteristics upon a re
ligion at basis wholly antagonistic
to it. Thus the players of that
terriBc Drama at Oberammergau
whose moral is above all things that
all men should love one another,
are in the trenches with sword and
bayonet, with rifle and machine gun
with bomb and howitzer today and
what is seen done by these poor
mummers of Oberammergau is seen
generally enacted throughout by
the human race. By their lips they
worship Christ, by their acts the\
worship Mammon. Indeed they
have scientifically and theologically
endeavored to explain the two as
one. They interpret passages which
seem to conflict with Mammon wor
ship so that this difficulty will be
overcome, and the requirements of
a Stock Exchange paganism and
the greed of wealth will be fully ac
counted for by human judgment as
righteous Christian acts.
It is therefore not extraordinary
that the civilization which the dol
lar ideal has established should still
be deemed not incompatible with
the “story that transformed the
world”, for the world transforms
the story; re-edits it; adjusts it to
the requirements of Mammon, ot
royal ambition, of imperial vanity,
of insatiate avarice, of man’s in
humanity to man, of the cruel theo
ry that capitalism has invoked; the
struggle for existence and the survi
val of the fittest, the craftiest, the
In
keenest, the basest, the most treach
erous, the most cruel, the greediest,
the most ruthless, pitiless and re
morseless in this Vale of Tears.
However these are much too seri
ous
this.
considerations for a day like
We want to forget it. Men
want to enjoy a big feed and a big
blow out where thoughts of their
own enjoyment and their friends
will prevent any obtruding visions
of thore who have not the where
withal.
Therefore indeed the flowing
bowl brings forgetfulness of facts;
the sparkling cup obliterates the
unpleasant truth, and everyone after
a big day’s sales on Christmas eve
with satisfactory returns for the
business meets every other one
with the glad hand and tho pleasant
smile. We beg to do the same and
respectable way w'ish all a
Xmas and a happy New
in a
Merry
Year.
