The Christian Intelligencer discourses
as follows on the Advent season

The Christian Intelligencer diseourses
as follows on the Advent season:
"The Advent season is at its height.
While we celebrate the birth of Him who
is Gods 'unspeakable gift, and make many
hearts glad with Christmas offerings, the
greatest lesson of the day is that of the
grace of Him, who, though He was rich,
yet for our sakes became poor that we,
through His poverty, might be rich.' The
divine charity of the season is its
sweetest satisfaction. But how can this he
fully realized, if we do not make room in
our hearts for the reception of the best of
all gifts? Vainly we offer each ample OBJ
lation, unless it is sanctiied by the hearts
adoratiou.'
In these times of public anxiety and
large distress, the hearts of millions are
turning with praise and prayer, and with
faith, to the Christ-ehild' as the worlds
last, best hope. Let children learn the
deep religious truths of the Incarnation, as
they carol the glories of the Advent. Let
our homes be filled with the voices of re-
joieing and salvation

The Day of Hops. JOY and Peaea.

The Independent calls up the joyful
and sacred memory of Christmas time,
and warns those who would tals Of dis
turbing the peace of the country. This
is well-timed admonition
'1t is the worlds festive day, for it is the
birthday of its king 1t is the day of beau
ty, the day of hope, the day of peace. For
He cometh, and still cometh, in silence and
in blessing, as he came of old in Bethlehem ];
and to the shepherds who watch for the
morning light, and to the wise men who
look for His star, the vision does not fail
For to US He cometh who wait for Him,
and the little ones of whose number He once
was; and for Him they and we will wait
till that triumphal day when He shall come
with ten thousand of His saints Who
dares lift the voice of threatening and war
when it is the day of the Cnrist's peace
What Herod will send the sword among the
babes of Rama The Lord has given us
rest. He has healed the breaches of our
nation. and nations curie and the curse
of God will rest on him who would open
them. Let, then, our words be firm as the
winters ice; but let them be gentle, and
