Each year at Christmas time, I carry on a one-man crusade against the word “Xmas.” Per haps I am prejudiced, but I thor oughly dislike the term. To me it is an algebraic expression, and those who remember anything of their algebra, will recall that X is used to represent the unknown quantity. So “Xmas” seems to be a celebration of Christmas with Christ left out. I am familiar with other ex planations which have been giv en for use of the word, “Xmas.” There are those who say that X is one form of the cross, and so used is a symbol of Christ. While it is true that this form of the cross, known as St. Andrews’ Cross, was used in ancient times for execution, yet there is no tra dition that it was used when our Lord was crucified. Artists por tray the well-known and familiar type called the Latin or Passion Cross. There is another explanation that X is the first letter used in the Greek spelling of Christ, but so few people in this country know and understand the Greek language, that its significance is practically lost. Both of these explanations give X as an abbreviation for Christ. Certainly Christmas is no time for abbreviating the name of the One whose birth we are celebrat ing. Truly on a birthday the name of the celebrant should be mentioned. However, many Chris tians who bear the name of Christ do considerably abbreviate the time they give to'the true observ Mt. Airy.

We have allowed enough pure ly secular things to come into our celebration of Christmas, so that even in Christian homes the Christ is crowded out. Some times He is crowded out by Santa Claus. I am not of the modern school which wishes to abandon the Santa Claus tradition. Cer tainly he has a place in the home life of our children. He is a sym bol of generosity and good-will. But even in the home he should not be allowed to take the place of Christ. It is more important for chil dren to know “Away In A Man ger” and “Silent Night, Holy Night” than it is for them to know, “The Night Before Christ mas.” But why not let them have both, each in its proper place? Many adults, as well as chil dren, look upon it as a time sim ply of receiving. Certainly we shoyld receive anew in our hearts our Lord Jesus Christ, and just as truly we should share Him with others. The ancient Romans celebrated their winter festival, the Saturn alia, about the time we celebrate Christmas. They exchanged gifts. Many of us today haven’t gotten far above the pagan level of “ex changing.” Instead, we should be giving and sharing. So Christmas is a time of giv ing, sharing and receiving. Let our first gift be Jesus Christ, who gave us Himself at Christmas. FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY SEE THROUGH CAMPAIGNS *19.000,000 ^i%7 MOf nlW6 BU'jsfpS /?
