At Bethlehem, while people thronged;
A low sob charmed the night.
About, a winter stillness reigned ;
6 Above, the stars flamed bright.
It was a babe's first fitful cry
That caught the pilgrim's ear':
They could not know that time began
As they were listening near.
O wonder of the centuries
That love • could come to earth
In fullness, as a 'Mother hailed
A. lowly baby's birth!
And greater wonder of the years,
That men could turn away,
Refuse to see the glory shed
Above the pilgrim way!
There still abides a wondrous light
Upon that little town
That shall'not pass from mortal sight
So long as stars look down.

Hon. Geo, E Foster received a
rousing reception, and caught the
sympathy of the audience at once by
a humorous remark about the weather
He . paid a compliment to the large
audience, and complimented the peo-
ple on the organization of a Canadian
Club, which meansnvery much fpr a
better • understanding of Canada. He
then delved into his subject "The:
League of Nations;' which he stated
was not a mechanical •institution, or.
the product of faddists, but rather a
definite necessity developed by the
firm impulses and nobler experiences
of the world. It is one of the resttlts
of the Great War. Men viewing the
courage, misery and suffering• of this
callosal tragedy, costing ten million
of the virile and best young lives of
the world, carrying permanent injur-
ies and life long suffering to twenty
million men, while famine, pestulance
and disease wrought hardship and
devastation that cannot be exhausted.

is not right to use the col\ainon'people
to spill innocentblood' to settle in-

peace treaty was being prepared, the
suggestion came to settle 'these differ-,
ences by arbitration or s tyre 'other
conciliatory method, and as a result,

possible avenue of consideration to
settle the difference and then subjects
its report to the League of Nations,
