Merry Christmas!
To nil we wish n season of unusual
gladness. May your Chflstmns Hay
be full of laughter and song.
There Is no other holiday so uni
versally celebrated. While tho chimes
ring out the glad tiding of Christ
mas morn In the old Quaker City the
same spirit of kindness nnd gladness
thai we shall feel will reach around
the world,
Th custom of giving nt this glad Rea
son Is bcnutlful. But It Is the spirit In
which n Rift Is offered that makes It
worth while to the recipient and the
bestower. Its valuo In gold should
count not nt all. Always the giver
should get the greater Joy.
In Philadelphia nnd America there
have been special opportunities '.
jertr to brighten the Christmas season
for the unfortunates nbrond and at
home, Wc should enjoy our Christ
man because we linvo been nblo to
give so much. Every person who has
helped even n little should feel n
senso of gratitude for the chance to
scatter what sunshine was possible.
But we should be most hnppy because
fthcre remain vast opportunities to
sow nbout ua alwnyu that gladness
that conies only through lovo and
kindness.
Wo should be glad because there nro
countless thousands to whom we enn
give the glfts of faith by showing
them thnt wc. who are Christians,
ore Just as anxious to help and cheer
them as tho Master was when He
sent the Babe to the manger In the
little town of Bethlehem.
"It Is more blessed to give than to
receive."
But lot our "Merry Christmas" al
vta.vs carry with It n gift of sincere
love. PHILLIPS.

UNHi-l
tsStStSS
Christmas is a Church Day the day of her sweetest message.
And this year witnesses the most notable anniversary of the birth of the Christ that the
Church in Philadelphia has known for many decades.
A strange thrill and stir and expectancy mark our City's Church life at the present time.
Part of this she shares with the whole world; part of it is peculiarly local.
Consider one stupendous fact : Last night approximately
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PERSONS gathered in about
SEVEN THOUSAND PRIVATE HOMES for
MEETINGS OF PRAYER for blessing in the coming weeks.
DOES THE READER KNOW ANY PARALLEL TO THIS? SUCH AN ACHIEVE
MENT MIGHT WELL BE THE GOAL OF GREAT CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY; INSTEAD,
IT IS ONLY PREPARATION FOR" GREATER ACTIVITY.
This is not the place to tell of the legions of men and women who are already organized
and under drill for special service in the Philadelphia Evangelistic Campaign during the early
weeks of the new year. The magnitude of the special enterprise upon which the Church in
Philadelphia has entered is amazing: no other city of the first class has known anything like it
for more than a generation.
AND THIS EPOCHAL ENTERPRISE IS THE WORK OF THE UNITED
CHURCHES OF PHILADELPHIA.
FOR TWO YEARS THIS PUBLICITY COMMITTEE OF THE ASSOCIATED
CHURCHES HAS BEEN ADVERTISING THE CHARACTER AND WORK AND WEL
COME OF THE CHURCH. Now, we remind the public that the Sunday Evangelistic Meet
ings, which open in the Tabernacle at Nineteenth and Vine streets on January 3, are meetings
under the Churches of the city.
In this campaign Mr. Sunday labors in behalf of the Church, and not the Church in
behalf of Mr, Sunday. The project is of, for, by and under the Churches of Philadelphia.
The Tabernacle Meetings are an Outreach of the Church in Philadelphia
The local expenses, in building the largest special evangelistic tabernacle ever erected; in building a
nursery, rest room and auxiliary structures, in clerk-hire, postage, printing, houserent, etc., are tjstimated at some
thing less than $50,000. This is a purely Philadelphia expense, for strictly Philadelphia purpose, It will be met
by offerings in the Tabernacle. As soon as the expenses have been met, the collections will stop.
Philadelphia fashion, local leaders are proposing that at least half this sum, or $25,000, be placed in the
collection plates on the opening day of the campaign. We venture to-urge, in a public way, the propriety and
wisdom of this in order that Christian givers may early designate a share gf their 1915 benevolent budget to this
purpose. Or the offering may now be set aside as a Christmas gift. In this, way wc shall remove as rjujckly as
poBSJbje all financial matters from th$se great Gospel Meetings.
And, by the way, may we repeat once mqre that Mr. Sunday himself has exacted io guasanteais, asd fcas
berjh given none. Aside from meeting the actual expenses of him and his workers while in the e&y, the 5&PV
mitee"of the Churches will npt pay Mr. Sunday one penny of compensation. His only remuneration will Je the
absjitute free-will offering made to him in the Tabernacle on the closing day of the meeting.
