Rev A. H. Backus, pastor of the local Grace Methodist church, created unusual interest in his Bunday morning sermon under the caption, "DoChristianizing Christmas." His test "R-as from Johp 11:66, "WTO He Not Come Up to the Feast?" in part .Mr.- Backus said: "Christmas and Christ should ever be united In holy wedlock. Christmas should b,e an ever-Increasing pageantry in honor of Jesus Christ, the , Kins, eternal, immortal, Invisible! "Frequently such Is not the case. Often the . occasion is elehrated in

such a manner as to lose sight of Mr : whose birthday it is. j "B'or this reason the Puritans refused to observe Christmas because of the Tricked mirth and revelry; ""What is the matter -with Christmas? Why do fathers and mothers frequently dread the coming of the holidays? "Why the "Thank goodness, it's pvetr," expression on bo many places between Christmas and New! Tear's day. "This spirit of Christmas is al-'-most lost and the Joy dissipated because of the feverish haste in which we are thrown during the last few: days. Appeals are made to us to 'Shop iiarly not only because of a better selection of presents, but also for the fake of the overworked clerks in our 'stores. But wo fail to heed! Yet there ia absolutely no wav to over
