Signs of the Times

with contributions from Winifred Kirkland, J. W. Pearson, Samuel A. Eliot, James DeWolf Perry, Paul H. Cose, Henry Darlington

[Winifred Kirkland, in the North American Review, as quoted in Great Thoughts, London, England]

Still dawns yearly upon our human calendar an ever more beautiful Christmas. Clearer, brighter, each year there glows upon the dark expanse of time the recurrent luminous picture of a holy family. ... On one day out of all the year we strive to lift high the tribute of a heart kindly to all its fellows. As we gaze far back we see Christmas at first only a pin point, a flickering gleam on the dark tapestry of time. Then slowly, steadily, that repeated glow increases, takes warm shape and splendor. ...

Back over the black mystery of old years, forward into the ... years to come, shines ever more confident the golden kindliness of Christmas.
