Those who have studied algebra or higher mathematics know that X represents the unknown quantity. To millions of Americans it renr^ sents the unknown quantity in “Xmas.” It is another way of crowding Christ out of His rightful place. To many, “Xmas” is the appropriate name for the holiday. i Merchants tell us that the Christmas season is an active time for petty thievery, and store detectives have to be alert during the Christ mas shopping period. But there is one thievery at Christmas time that is not petty: that is the wholesale theft in which a thousand forms of businesses engage, in robbing Christmas of its sacredness and its resi significance. Christmas has been so commerciali:/ed that it is hard to believe that it was originally set aside as the birthday of the Holy Savior What can we do about it? In all the hustle and bustle of the Christ mas season, we can maintain a quiet little shrine somewhere in our hearts, where we bow down to the Christchild whose comine has brought so much gladness and good will into the world Let t,s w lose Him in the Christmas crowds! We can take a little time each day to read over the Christmas star,, to ask God’s Holy .Spirit to make this Christmas a time of snirih^al’ rebuilding in our ow’n souls. * ‘>-udi “How far is it to Bethlehem town?” “It isn’t far to Bethlehem town! It’s anywhere that Christ comes down, And looks on Christian homes that pray And finds in people’s friendly face, A welcome and abiding place. Sing we all merrily, Christmas is here. Day that w'e love best of days in our year- Bring forth the holly, the box and the bay, Dark out the cottage for glad Christmas day. Sing we all joyfully, sing of Christ’s birth. Sing what the angels sang, “Peace upon earth!” Parents and children in bright garments dress’d Hasten to Church to sing praise with the rest, Christmas is here, Christmas is here. Sing we all merrily, Christmas is here; Christmas is here, Christmas is here. Sing we all merrily, Christmas is here. (English Traditional) ^Christmas Giving I looked into the streets and saw The Christmas shopping crowd Madly rushing here and there Complaining long and loud. I thought: There is no Christmas here Except a wild pretense; The people have no thought of love But only of expense. And then I looked in calmer hearts And homemade gifts were there. Some lovely gracious little thoughts That friendly people share. I thought: I’ve been so very wrong. The spirit is not lost. For some still know that precious gifts Are minus any cost. Margaret Boseman £d’i Noiei, We thank Mrs. McGregor for this month's editorial, “Christmas or Xmas.” Congratulations to the four Montreaters whose poems are to be in this year’s National Poetry Anthology, We were very sorry to hear of rs. Macaulay’s being injured in an automobile accident December •>, and we hope she will soon be well and able to he back with us again. 'leed ads for the 1949 SUN DIAL, and it won’t be too late 'f you bring some back with you after Christmas. Don’t forget* to ask your parents and friends if ey would like to have their name on the page of “Friends and Spon- sore of the SUN DIAL.” That on ly costs a dollar per name, but if we get a whole page full, it will help a great deal with the cost of the annual.
