No Perfect Christmas Sermon.
Some one has said that there cannot
be found in literature a single ‘hrist-
mas sermon which meets the occasion.
Of course there cannot.
The occasion is the new birth of the
world. Unless the preacher is com-
petent to say how far the wofid has
grown since its new birth, unless he
can comprehend and declare the infi-
nite greatness of that kingdom of God
which the Saviour of men promises in
the world and unless the same preach-
er can describe the world as it was.
“the people who sat in darkness,” he
cannot preach the sermon which shall
meet “the occasion.’—Rdward Everett
Hale.
The Christmas “Cenone.”
The “Cenone,”’ a Christmas custom
of southern Italy, is also observed in
Rome. It is an,anclent festival of the
lower classes and is held on Christmas
eve. It is a fast-feast (if it may so
be designated) whose object is a re
union of families in a spirit of devo-
tion. It consists of a supper at which
macaroni and fish are the principal
dishes. No other is served into whose
composition either meat, yolks of eggs.

“No Santa Claus!”
BR]
sg CE
F it be true, as some do say,
That there’s no Santa Claus,
What is this spirit on the way
That naver seems to pause
When Christmas chimes are sounding
clear :
Upon the frosty night
In spreading splendid gifts of cheer
In every mortal’s night?
What is this sense of glow divine
That comes to you and me
When watching all that happy line
Of children round the tree?
Whence comes this mantling atmos-
phere,
So full of sweet release
That falls upon us once a year
And covers us with peace?
No Santa Claus? Oh, men of doubt,
Whence comes this sorry claim?
Would you so fair a spirit flout
For reasons of a name?
Dear Santa Claus is everywhere
Where hearts are true and kind,
And where there's love of man tis there
Hig presence rare we find.
