^ It ’|s not a Christian Christmas we

Xmas. So far'as the spirit of Chri^-

“X” marks the spot Where ChHst'
was. I heard a lady say that she
told her little daughter that Santa
Claus was the spirit of Christmas.
' This ,is another straw in file wind
to Mow the ^neral trend ‘of a gen
eration' who' want to keep the tra
ditions and . enjoy Me benefits and
conveniences of Christianity, but they
turn their backs on the lovely Christ
to wrap tbeir presents.
In ordei* to Mjoy Christmas we
must know the Savior personally. So
many do not know the real joy of a
simple knowledge of His saving grace.
We do not have to dash here aiid
there, tasting the of lust and
passion to enjoy Christmas. In the
heart of a Christian Is a serene peace
and bubbling joy that the unbelieving
world caftnot kiibw.
What a contrast to .the Godless
masses. With them it il a whirl of
shopping, dancing, drinking,, noting,
and a “good tjme.” T mo not speak
