HEN the first clear voice of the belfry rings out upon the frost sweetened Christmas morn¬

ing air, let us rise within ourselves to a higher reali¬ zation of the significance of the Christmas spirit. It remained for the noble, manger-horn Jew of Naz¬ areth to imbue this festival time with the splendid spirit of sacrifice, and to teach us that there is far greater joy in giving than in receiving.

It is the special mission of all art workers to give. It is within their power to contribute to the world a kind of wealth beside which the millions of the plutocrat seem paltry. The glorious Christmastide af- fords a fine opportunity for the musician to carry his tribute to those who need him most.

What shall be your frankincense and myrrh?

It might be a little song to carry some aged soul back to the golden days of youth, when the ar¬ gosies were all coming in, when life was all hope, all joy, all love; it might be a soothing melody ca¬ ressed from an old violin to ease the pain and men¬ tal anguish of some suf¬ ferer; it might be some happy little tune, played for the dear little ones in an orphan asylum, to make them forget, if for only a few moments, what it means to spend Christmas— of all days in the year—without a mamma or a papa.

Come, do not let us fall into the venal convention of making Christmas an orgie of cheap tinsel and gourmandizing. Let us be completely filled with the jovial spirit of the day. Let us remember that it is the privilege of musicians to give certain gifts, not to he

found in the steel barred vaults of the multimillion¬ aire. Let us realize that the best way to attain happi¬ ness is through making others happy. This is the secret of a Merry Christmas.

The foregoing Christmas editorial was ivritten for the twenty-fifth Christmas issue of The Etude in 1907, thirty-two years ago. It was your editor’s first Christmas editorial, and embodied the life thought of

the founder of The Etude, the late Theodore Presser, to whom Christ¬ mas ivas a period of un¬ bounded rejoicing and gratitude.

Since that time the world has made tremen¬ dous advances in many directions, and it has also gone through cataclysms too hideous to think about. Empires, great cities, huge navies and millions of men have been wiped out of existence, but these ideals of the Christ Spirit, the spirit of love and giving, en¬ throned in Christmas, are eternal. A millennium of wars could not crush

These ideals are still the ideals of The Etude, now, in this materialistic

age, even more than ever before. They have sus¬ tained and fortified us. They are our everlasting Fountain of Youth, Faith and Joy. We are grateful for the unending fine responses that our readers have always given to them. They bring all of us closer together.
