A. CHRISTMAS GREETING. THIS festive season of Christendom, ás it once again comes round to us in this out-of-the-way corner of the earth, brings with it mingled feelings both of the past and the present. Home ties and the tender associations of long ugo can seldom be recolled without a passing [`shadow of sorrowful reflections ; while the feeble imitation of Christmas ide

which we all strive to invent possesses a

·Belf-evident air of make-believe of the presence of which we cannot altogether. divest ourselves. To bold Christmas in, of courer a prime necessity of our of vilised existence. Indeed, Christina civilisation must contiune to mark this festival as the starting point of the new Greation, the inauguration of the era of peace and goodwill toward men which has duwued upon the world and is yet destined to encircle the earth. Be le pos-.. sessed of however little a share of the sweetaess of life, there is no man but must feel in some measure a tightening. of the heartstrings and a strengthening of the bonds of brailerlood and sympathy. during this season of roverential goot- fellowship. Amid the turmoil of busi- Bess and the whirr of everyday life, the Christian people of all lande will dow pause and recall to mind the grantest fact of buman history, the grandest act of ull the ages, the oysterious incarn Fation of the Divine life into human formi which to mortals brings the good news

This interchange of lov ing sympathy and exercise of true chari- ty forms one of the best proof of the enitability of the Christian system to the wants of mankind, and of the more than human origin of its overmastering prin- oiples. In this part of the world, there are probably few men who could be set down us of the Scrooge type, so finely pourtrayed by the whole-heart- ed author of the Christmas Carol? If there be auch an
