The
Spirit
of
Christmas
(Albert
F.
Ollmore
In
Christian
Science
Sentinel)
the
world
Christians
are
aware
of
a
joyous
spirit
which
pervades
the
at-noapheje
THROUGHOUT
during
the
Christmas
season.
Something
Of
the
heaviness
which
so
commonly
accompanies
human
experience
Is
thrown
off
and,
for
a
time
at
least,
joy
takes
the
place
of
depression
and
the
light
of
love
and
gratitude
lightens
the
darkness
of
doubt
and
fear.
Why
this
phenomenon?
What
is
there
In
the
Christmas
season
which
works
so
great
a
change
in
the
mental
Jattitude
of
the
Christian
world?
Answer
to
these
questions
Involves
a
resume
at
least
of
the
mission
of
Christ
Jesus,
a
review
of
his
life
and
works,
an
evaluation
of
his
message
to
mankind.
Christians
have
long
believed
that
Jesus
was
sent
of
God
to
expiate
the
sins
of
the
world
through
His
death
on
the
cross;
that
He
saves
the
sinning
through
the
atonement:
that
acceptance
of
His
teachings
and
disciple
dilp
with
Him
lead
to
forgiveness
of
sin
and
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven.
To
all
Christians,
whatever
their
denominational
beliefs,
Jesus
is
the
blessed
Saviour,
the
burden-bearer
for
all
mankind,
the
object
of
deepest
reverence
and
most
profound
worship.
It
is
for
these
reasons
tvjt
Christendom
so
generally
celebrates
the
occasion
of
his
birth
...
He
showed
the
way
which
all
must
follow.
Did
he
not
declare
in
plainest
terms,
"No
man
cometh
unto
the
Father,
but
by
Me?"
Not
alone
by
our
words
but
by
the
thoughts
we
entertain
and
by
our
deeds,
then,
we
manifest
the
spirit
of
Christmas.
Thus,
and
only
thus,
do
we
properly
express
our
gratitude
to
him
who
founded
Christianity.
We
must
keep
his
commandments
and
follow
his
example.
What
are
they?
To
love
our
neighbor
as
ourselves;
to
refrain
from
unrighteous
judgment;
to
heal
the
sick;
to
minister
unto
the
needy;
to
destroy
the
erroneous
beliefs
which
confront
us:
to
exemplify
In
humility
and
meekness
the
Christ-spirit
which
He
so
perfectly
exeaipHf
Wi
Thus
do
we
pay
the
greatest
homage
to
the
Master;
thus
do
we
keep
the
spirit
of
Christmas.
The
essence
of
it
all,
expressed
in
the
gratitude
of
good
works,
is
Christian
ministry.
