The First Christmas.

1t was midnight in Judea. Dark
and lowery clouds shrouded the land
of Palestine. The moral night which
tor centuries had enveloped the Jew
ish nation was scarcely less intense
than the natural darkness which now
covered the land. The canopy of
heaven was almost obscured, and
one star alone could be seen to en-
Iiveu the gloom. Guided by that
signal, wise men journeyed from afar
that they might find that Messiah,
ioretoId by the prophet who should
be governor to rule the people Of
Israel. In Bethlehem of Judea ac-
cording to prediction was found the
object oftheir search, and their gifts,
gold and frankincense and myrrh"
were brought forth and deposited at
the feet Of the Infant Jesus lying in
u manger--the first christmas Offer
ing that was ever made.
Who can imagine the feelings Of
those shepherds while watching their
hocks by night on being startled by
the appearance OF an angel, TO hear
the assuring salutaton Fear not,
for behold, | bring You good tidings
of great joy which shall be to all poo
pie, for unto you is born this day in
the city Of David, Savior, which is
Christ the Lord"
Who can wonder that all should
bail with rejoicing the annual return
Of that glorious birthday SO long
foretold by the Holy prophets, sig
nailed by a blazing star, announced
by an angelic messenger, and usher
ed ia by multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying, "Glory
t. God in the highest, and on Earth
peace, good will toward Men"
