So 1 have shown you the shadows and the sunshine of that Christie era dle of Bethlehem. In these Christmas times I realize that there are many era dies under shadows. Oh, the story of empty cradles all up and down the earth, in cabins and palaces! There are standing in garrets or in store rooms cradles that will never rock again. Rachel mourning for her chil- dren and will not be comforted be- cause they are not" But through all the shadows break gleams of sunshine as the clouds of the Christie cradle were cleft by glorious light. Escaped from the struggles through which we have all passed and must yet pass, those little ones took heaven at one bound. Instead of an earthly career it Is heavenly career, with capacities, with velocities, with opportunities be-

 Instead of the holiday celebrations of the old homestead 1t Is to them eternal jubilee at table where the angels of God are the cupbearers and amid fes- tivities that resound with a laughter and music and blaze with brilliance and a glory that eye hath not seen nor ear heard" No use in wishing them a merry Christmas. for the mer-

 | Another gleam of sunshine striking
 through the shadows above that Christ ic cradle was the fact of special di- | vine protection. Herod was determin- ed upon the child's destruction. The
 monster put all his wits together in
 stratagem for the stopping of that young life just started He dramatized
 piety; he suddenly got religious; he
 would leave his palace and take char
 lot and have steeds whipped up, so
 that he could kneel at that cradle. We
 have to smile at what the imperial viii lain said when he ordered, "Go and
 search diligently for the young child, | and when ye have found him bring me word, that 1 may go and worship him | also." Dore's picture of the Massacre | of the Innocents' at Herod's command "a picture full of children hurled over walls and dashed against streets and l writhing under assassin's foot-gives , us little impression of the manner in
 which Herod would have treated the
 real child if he could once have got his hand on 1t. But Herod could not find
 that cradle. All the detectives he sent out failed in the search. Yet it had
 been pointed out by fashlight from the
 midnight heavens. All the neighbor- hood knew about 1t. The angelic cho-
 rus in the cloud had called musical at
 tention to 1t. No sentinel guarded 1t
 with drawn sword, passing up and
 down by the pillow of that Bethlehem
 caravansary. Why, then, was 1t that
 the cradle was not despoiled of its
 treasure? Because it was divinely pro
 tected. There were wings lowering
 that mortal eye could not see; there
 were armed immortals whose bran
 dished sword mortal eye could not fol-
 low; there were chariots of the Omnip-
 otent the rumble of whose wheels only auueruaturals could hear. God had
