of the rich and powerful, He went
about from town to town preachins
His gospel of peace and love- Those
who gathered to Him were poor men
fishermen. publicans, small farmers or
herdsmen. rather.
The waters of the sea of Judea were
but little stirred by His presence. So,
little was His presence felt that no
contemporaneous historian of His
time. outside of His immediate follow
ers. makes any reference to His life
or His works. Josephus, a voluminous
and very just historian, ignores Him
utterly. No record has been found at
Rome of His death. so little impress
sion did it make upon the mind OF
Plate.
True 1t is that He healed sicl. ren.
cleansed lepers, raised the dead and
cast out devils. But these were sub
ordinate and incidental only to His
life-work, which was that of proclaim
ing a new gospel-that men should
love one another. He made no parade
of nliracle-working. 1t was only when
the suffering were brought into His
presence that He made exercise of His
divine power in healing.
He died the most shameful, disgrace
full death known to His generation
In his extremity He was deserted even
by His most devoted followers. He
trod the wine-press of agony alone.
Yet this Man of Sorrows has con-
quered the world. Other illustrious
men lived out their little day and all
that remains of them is the memory
Of their deeds. They sought to build
up material kingdoms; Christ's realm
is in the hearts of men. His teachings
have survived the overthrow of q
thousand Kingdoms of earth. His
words to-day are as potent to sway
men as when they came burning from
His lips. All the higher civilization OF
earth yields Him reverence and
homage.
Age but serves to strengthen the
might of His power and to confirm the
promise of the prophecy: "At the
name of Jesus every knee shall bow
and every tongue confess"

Joined him in the street and sang with
him. Together they marched through
the town, giving 1t its first audible
sound save walls and cries of terror
since first the plague descended upon it.
The song woke strange echoes. From
their living tombs men. women and
children came forth to the number of
25-all that were left of the town-and
marching through the death-strickon
streets, they sang with new courage:
God with US! Against us who dare
be?"
Whether it was that the plague had
spent its violence, or. which is more
probable, that the minds of the sur
vivors were more serene, none of this
little band died of the Black Death
They returned to their homes, buried
their dead. and the town began to
awake.
No wonder that the incident was re.
membered. and that for centuries this
people of the town continued to NEE,
each Christmas eve at midnight. and at
two O'Clock marched through the streets
singing the same old hymn.
The sublime assurance breathed in
that song is what men need to make
them brave when earthly joys fade. 1t
lifts them back to the living world, and
the sight of Heaven. when they have
buried themselves in despair. In the
darkest and most helpless hour the
sense of the presence of God will wake
song the echoes of which come back
to us in the new hope awakened in other
lives.-Youth's Companion.

POWER OF A SONG.
A Christmas Eve Chorus Thnt Has Be-
come Famous I'm the History
of the World.

Mr.. Louis C. Elson in his book on the
music of America recalls the tradition
of the Marienlied as for centuries it has
been sung at two o'clock on Christmas
morning in Goldberg, Germany.
1t was at the time of the BLACK
Death" in 1858. One of the greatest
pestilences recorded in history had
swept over every country in the Old
World, claiming its dead by scores of
thousands. Men fled in terror from
their fellow men, in awful fear of their
breath or touch, and for weeks sus-
tained a strange, weird seige in soil
tude. Neighbor turned against neigh
bor. Families shut themselves up in
their own houses, and denied entrance
to all outsiders. and as the pestilence
spread, members of the same family
turned against one another. In their
terrible fear men became like wild
beasts, refusing even the cup of cold
water and the simplest service through
dread of contamination.
So it continued until Christmas eve,
when one man in Goldberg, believing
himself the only inhabitant of the city
left alive, and feeling. perhaps. that life
was not worth saving at the cost of
such isolation. unbarred his door at
dead of night and went forth into the
air. Alone he stood in the midst of
desolation, but the memories of the past
thronged upon him. He knew that it
was Christmas, and as he recalled other
Christmases, with their sacred joys and
their festivity, he lifted up his voice in
the song:
ITO us this day is born Child.
God with US!
