Xt, Xtian, and Xmas

By Editor

The following, from the Christian Advocate, of New York, we heartily indorse:—

"To show to what an abyss of irreverence persons may sink in abbreviating the names of Christ, we have the authority of one of the connectional officers of the church for the statement that a short time ago a letter arrived from one of our ministers containing this passage: 'The young man must be called to preach the gospel of J. C.' The information was sent to us as illustrating the note of last week, entitled '"Xt," "Xtian," and "Xmas."' Is this right?

'No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His name.'"
