Boston journal: All but one of the
thirty-two Massachusetts cities have
held their elections, and the fluctuations
of the vote upon the license question
present, as usual, an interesting study.
Only two changes have been made in
the position of the cities. These are in
Brockton and Lowell; and in both in
stances the change was from license 10
no-lcense. In most of the cities, such
as Cambridge, Quincy. Chelsea and New
ton, where no-license has become the
established policy, the majority on that
side was increased. On the other hand,
in several cities which have voted
steadily for license, the license majority
WAS smaller than last year. This was
especially the case in Holyoke, which
came within seventy votes of reversing
its policy. In the aggregate, a consider
able gain was recorded on the no-liCense
side.

Peace on Earth.

Christmas, though old, is not stern
and grave, or even enfeebled by the
weight of years. One hesitates in using
the word venerable, for, when Christmas
is ushered in, the very air is filled with
the gushing. irresistible laughter of
merry childhood and youthful gayety.
We gaze each morning upon the won
drous entrance of new day and feel it's
newness as though our eyes behold for
the first time the miracle performed.
The wondrous Christmas time finds all
watching, and, like the supplemented
shepherds of old, entranced with won
der as we'll as with joy.
A precious gem reveals new depth
and brightness as the varied lights are
brought to bear upon it, so Christmas
when rightly viewed, given its true
place, is brilliant, glowing reality.
Though the world has beheld countless
flowers each year, the sweetest blossoms
are none the less welcome and beloved,
and as in the gloom of December the
glorious "Star" flower appears, it truly
seems to hold the treasured fragrance
and beauty of the past. Forever blessed
is childhood because the Saviour took
the little ones in his arms. The chill
dren are ever with us, more precious
than rarest jewels, more lovely than
fairest flower, bat they are not always
the same for they charm US at every
turn with their delightful unexpected
ness. Childhood is forever hallowed
too, because the "Lord of lords" came
to his own kingdom az a little child.
Christmas belongs to all, old and
young, but for the time one must come
down from overmuch wisdom and pru-
dence to the simplicity of the youngest
darling who sings and shouts without a
thought or care for the tomOrrOw
Surely the useful mantle of care which
has enwrapped the bread winner and
bread maker, may we'll be allowed to
slip off for one day that they may fol-
low where the children lead In a
curious fashion they may be led to
glance in at shop windows with child
eyes which drink in the beauty of fine
pictures and lovely things with quite
untroubled eyes because they are be-
yond their means They shall see, these
"Marthas'', that the dancing skipping
children are planning to give from their
treasured pennies, wondrously simple
gifts to those they love.
Truly it is the love which really
makes the gift precious beyond express
sion, and at this season it is as though
all gifts were blessed before being dis
tributed. To the suffering poor and all
unfortunates, many are led by the love
and JOY which attend their own more
favored lot. The poor also, have on
Christmas day fresh realization of the
one great, perfect gift, which came from
loving Father.
IT'S the one time of all the year when
the world seems to be lovingly bound
together. The Christmas tree has
surely taken deep root in our land and
this year there is depth of good feel
ing as we remember "Merre England"
when our fathers kept the day of days
so cheerily. To all mourning hearts
God himself graciously, tenderly, min
listers. Even on this year which has
witnessed such dire distress, as we'll as
glorious triumphs, grief burdened as
we'll as joyous souls, will sing "Glory to
God in the highest, peace on earth and
good will to men,

something of the inspiration of Mrs.
Hemans when she sang so truthfully:
Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the north wind =

And stars to set.-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own y Death
:
We know when moons shall waue
When summer birds from far shall cross the
sea.
When autumns hue shall tinge the golden

But who shall teach us when to look for theeY'

II, as the brewers says, the war tax
has diminished the amount of beer con-
sumed to the extent of 20 per cent
there is no reason to be seriously alarm
ed about the effect of the tax on the
consumers, says an exchange. No, put
on some more tax. The country could
stand five times 20 per cent reduction
in the consumption of beer.
