The New Fear.

WlltleH ny ~. M. HARRIS,
while editor of the Guthrie
County Ledger, in 1865:
Another year has beea num-
b,red with the past. IS has
come and gone, witt Il IS joys
and sorrows. Mi. have
been added to the ( i, !-en of
men hourished for :, season
and passed away. When we
look lack to the morn when the
angel of God said unto the
Shepherds: Gear not, for be-
hold | bring you good tidings
of great joy, which shall be 70
all people," We are filled with
wonder and thanksgiving to
Him who, from nothing, Great
ed the world and peopled it
with intelligent beings who had
been under his guardian care
for over six thousand years,
and the mind of man naturally
wanders back to the morn when
a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God and saying.
"Glory to God in the heavens,
and on earth peace, good will
toward man."
Peace on earth, and good will
to man, is the language of the
holy angels who vie around the
eternal throne of God, and by
them proclaimed from the
dome of heaven. Peace on
earth is echoed by the great
and good of this and all ages
past, and will be by such in all
ages to come. 1t is the lam
guage of that spirit land where
God and His holy angels dwell;
it is the desire of every heart
that has been touched with the
electric fire that comes from
the throne of Him who pro-
claimed it by His holy angels
1866 years ago. Peace builds
c ties and towns, promotes ag-
r.culture and commerce, cover
ing our land with homes for
the million and our seas with
the product of our industry,
thereby increasing our prosper
ity and happiness. Peace fills
our schools with the young who
are soon to be the only inhabit-
ants of the land, and adds to
the church those who will soon
be angels in Heaven. Peace is
the voice of God, the shout of
angels and the prayer of all
good men.
Good will to man was shout
ed by the angels of God from
the battlements of Heaven 1866
years ago, and was the theme
of the Saviour of man while on
earth, good will to man was
preached by the holy angels
and just men made perfect by
the spirit of Christ. Oh could
We all be endowed with that
spirit, how soon would this
world become a paradise. Good
will builds no monitors, forts or
battle ships, casts no cannons,
burns no homes, destroys no
property, murders none who
are created in the image of God,
makes no widows nor orphans,
turns not the earth into a
bloody field of slaughter and
death where the groans of the
dying go up as a witness
against the living to the judg-
ment of the judge of all the
earth. Oh no, Good will to men
raises up the fallen, pours oil
into the wounded heart, assists
the weak, protects the helpless
and cheers the disconsolate.

When it was seen that the

to the making of suitable vows

to his memory. AS the time
for 1903 demise approached,
the resolutions grew stronger
until twelve, when it was a
