If Santa iilaus Were King We Would All Want To Be Pals

Whether His Most Gracious Majesty abdicates or "stays put” the poor we have always with us, and Christmas ap- proaches. Of all seasons of the Christian Calendar, the birth tide of Our Lord is the one which appeals to us most in which to remember our poorer brethren, those with whom the world has gone amiss- or who have never even known the biessedness of having a little more than enough, if even the enough. There are, alas, many of those in our midst, more we are informed this year than last.

Once more therefore, the Charlottetown Guardian, not- withstanding the Constitutional crisis, makes its appeal on behalf of the little ones Santa Claus may forget. This appeal, as is generally now well-known, is not for the neces- saries of life but for the iuxury-“the pound of ointment of spikenard very costly,” with which Mary annointed the feet of Jesus. _

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence. asked Judas Iscariat, and given to the poor? This,

he" said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag and bare what was put therein. The toys, candies, apple and orange which the Santa Pals send to remind God’s poor little ones that the Messiah of their religion was born on Christmas Day, represent in a small way the luxurious, sweet smelling odour which filled lifary’s house when she poured it on the feet of Jesus. Other organizations look after the creature comforts of the pool‘, the Santa Pals seek to provide “the little extra” which brings joy to the children and a measure of satis- faction to their parents. At Christmas-time, there are no undeserving children- whatever may be the faults and failings of their parents. At present the world over, and even here, there is ‘an ap- parent life and death struggle between Christianity and Communism, Democracy and Dictatorship. and, whether we like it or not, we ‘have to face that struggle, and align ourselves on one side or the other.

KEPT INFORMED

OTTAWA, Dec. 6—tCP)—-Primc Minister Mackenzie King. keeping constantly informed of the num- crous reports and sldeiichts on the constitutional crisis in London. and doubtless receiving private commun- ications of n more officnl nature from the Dominica's rcpresenfofives in the Empire capital, remained sil- ent throughout the week-end on the question of Canada's part in the sit- uaiion.

Indicative of the close watch the Government is keeping on devclop- merits, Mr. Macktmic King's offices in the cast block were kcgt opcn all today after being open until a ln‘c hour inst nlzht, His secretaries

At this particular season, and on this particular oc- casion- it is well for us to give the matter a few minutes intimate consideration. and have a heart to heart discus- sion on the merits of the respective claims of Christianity vs. Communism for we all know about Ahsoiutism. It has been debated very ably by the Spectator, which sums up as follows: i ’

An ideal Christianity has nothing to learn from Com- munism. Yet it may well be true that the acceptance of certain Communist tenets may make the average Christian of today a better Christian. There are deep-rooted differ- cnces between them.

Christianity is concerned with eternal men's actions are shaped in the light of them.

Communism concerns itself with this present life, and with the material more than the spiritual. Communism would impose as a rigid code a way of life that has virtue only in so far as it springs from voluntary impulses of the human spirit checked and directed by faith in a God con- = corned perpetually and eternally with human affairs.

That the fortunate who profit by their ability should be compelled to share with those who have no ability but great need is good only in so far as it brings material re- iicf to the needy.

The man who voluntarily shares the fruit of Iris ability ulith his fellow in need is living on a different plane, and one distinctively Christian.

But the best of a Communist creed effectively applied is something better than a Christian creed honoured in word and not in deed.

So for as Communist teaching causes Christians to consider where they fall short of their own professions, Communism has a service to render to Christianity.

But Christianity can have no part in class-conflict. It may be disguised as the evolution of a single class, an idea , essentially germane to a Christianity which preaches unity ' and the equal worth in the eyes of God of every human soul, but so far as it springs from a fanned flame of antagonism Christianity can have none of it.

The end must be attained. but not by destruction and strife. . But when all is said the fact has to be faced that tol a considerable section of youth Communism is making a more effective appeal than Christianity. More than that, it in being eagerly embraced as a rival faith.

There is much more in this than the attraction of novelty. Youth today is predisposed towards a religion of revolt, and Christianity is apt to figure as a religion of complacency.

Revolt against the evils of poverty and ‘unemployment and profiteering and misgovernment may well be exalted into a crusade, in the name of Christianity or Communism or any other creed.
