A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
(To Mrs, Charles Finkbeiner and
family.)
There is no chance or accident with
Him,
Who holds the planets in His power-
ful Hand;
He slumbers not, His sight is never
dim
Though we may fail to see or under-
stand.
He came to heal the' hearts with ang-
uish torn,
May His sweet peace abide with you
,to daY,
This Christmas Day, when Jesus
Clout vas born,
When seraphs sang a heavenly round-
elay. •
Someday he'll lift the veil and you
shall see
'What seemed mysterious, hart of
Cod's good pian:
Rest in His love, believe, wait pat-
iently,
Sometime His: loving • purpose you
shall scan.
--.Il. Isabel Graham.
