Was heard the world around; -
►� The idle spear and shield were high up -

Unstain'd with hostile blood;
The trumpet spake nut to the armed

But peaceful was the night,
Wherein 'the Prince of Light, •

•
Peace reigned throughout the world en the starlit, wintry night,
two thousand years ago, when the herald angels sang of the fulfilment
of the ,promise of the ages,, the coming of a Saviour, Christ the Lord,
born it is true in a manger in Bethlehem, but a Prince, nevertheless,
a Prince of Peace, the only and well -beloved Son 9f the King -of Kings.
Peace and joy mingled with awe in the hearts of the humble shepherds,
who, hearing the song of the angelic host, left their flocks and hastened,
never doubting, to pay homage•to the long hoped for Messiah. :Peace
and joy in hope fulfilled compensated tile. Wise Men•for the toil and
weariness of the long journey over deserts and mountains as they
knelt in adoration by the infant King and poured their "treasures at
His feet.. Peace and joy filled the virgin mother who pondered all
these things in • her heart. And . each recurring Christmas season
through all the centuries has brought Peace and good will anew to the
hearts of_ men, good -will in the senile on the lips acid' the friendly
greetings; peace in the fact that the joyous season is no time. for the
bitterness that HrankleS, the unpleasant bygones. • Armies engaged
in battle .have. ceased, for a. little their .warfare- and as brothers,. the
bitter .foes have raised together their voices in a -Christmas hymn of
praise. Once a year at least, there is an approach to- the true brother-

' Once a year we have a kindly greeting for all \wont we meet,
for the employer, the bookkeeper, the office boy. Once a year we .
have a smile for all who serve tis and for all whom we serve, for those
who jostle us in the highways, who crowd usin the street cars. - Once
a year 'We take out our Christmas spirit, : shake out, •the creases, dust
it, and the marvel is that we wear it so gracefully. - We don it for the
great occasion, for a few we: ks previous, and, perchance, if our diges-
tions are in good repair, for a few days after,—then vbe fold it up with
moth balls and label it,'" To be handled with care, not warranted to
wear," Perhaps we toss it on the topmost shelf,or store it in the
attic with other lumber that has seen more gracious days, Passing
strange it is that it conies out each year sweet and fresh and guaran teed
to fit. What a blessed old world it would be if the Christmas spirit
could be donned for each and every day of the year, if the song cf the
angels, "Peace on earth,good-will to man," found an echoin every
heart, not one day' in three hundred and sixty-five, but each and
every day in all the year 1

If you have a task to perform,. a habit to break,.an' enemy to rte,
forgive,or a friend to make, begin it:
"Lose this day loitering. • Twill be the same story
To -morrow, and the next more dilatory;
True indecision, brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting over days. -
. Are you in earnest? Seize the very minute;
What you can do, or think you can, begin it; ;
Boldness has genius, power; and magic in it.
Only begin it, and the mind grows heated!, . .
Begin it and the work will he completed."
