CHRISTMAS.

At midnight-so the Scriptures tell
The Son Of God came here to dwell
With Peace to alp from the time when
The seraph sang. Good will TO men,"
But Is good will in every house
And love between each wife and spouses
Alas! no-pride holds too much sway
Ana banishes our peace away.
Is there cure? Let sages tell
Who social problems solve so well,
And IL on earth none such is known
Appeal above to Gods own throne
Praying to send Messiah near
To change our lives while we are here:
Making us kind, upright and true,
Doing to others as we'd be done to.
