Psalms 50e t 10c ti 19c to In the rush of the merry morning, When the red burns through the gray, And the wintry world lies waiting For the glory of the day; Then we hear a fitful rushing Just without upon the stair, See twa white phantoms coming, Catch the gleam of sunny hair. Are they Christmas fairies stealing Rows of little socks to fill? Are they angels floating hither With their message of good -will? What sweet spell ae these elves weaving, As like larks they chirp and sing? Are these palms of peace from heaven That these lovely spirits bring? Rosy feet upon the threshold, Eager faces. peeping through, With the first red ray of sunshine,. Chanting cherubs come in view; Mistletoe and gleaming holly, Symbols of a blessed day, In their chubby hands they carry, Streaming all along the way. Well we know them, never weary Of this innocent surprise; Waiting, watching, listening always With full hearts and tender eyes. While our little household angels.

Shall it be espair in our hearts of the final triumph of good over dare we, despite the voices of the present and the dark ,r the future, declare our faith in the words of Browning's . it child, and say, "God's in His heaven; All's right with the world?" to answer is simple. Leave I4fm. out of His heaven and His world, and Christmas, with its "glorious song of old," is little less than a mockery. But hold to the faith that has stayed and steadied unnumbered multitudes of earth's finest spirits in days when those about them were saying, "Where is now thy God?" and you will greet the dawn of the new Christmas with a deep and satisfying peace. • i" Here is an optimism that will hail the coming Christmas not because it ignores the facts, an optimism that knows that, though mighty empires have come and gone, and darkness settled over many a nation like an impenetrable gloom, the world has steadily, if slowly, rolled out of darkness into light. This is not the only era in human history when civilization has seemed to be drifting toward the rocks, with no watcher at the bow and no hand on the helm. Would any of us like to go back to the days when man was emerging from his arboreal life? Do we pine for the civilization of Babylon or Egypt, or Rome, with the world mostly slaves? Have we made no progrees even through nights of French Revo- lutions and Russian horrors? Look back over human history and trace the upward climb, and mark the larger world into which humanity has come since that first Christmas day, and despair will give place to hope, and the song of Browning's little maidwill not seem so mad a dream.
