"A Ride Through
the C~ountry....

Last Sunday was an ideal day
for 4 ride. The air was as
balmy Us a spring days; the
roads were as smooth and even
as Il boulevard; the farmers and
their neighbors were leaning on
the fences looking over the live
stock; around the country
churches the conveyances were
hitched in great numbers; the
children were playing in the
wards and the roads, and the
beauty of the blue and white
morning had beckoned every
one into the open.
What a wealth of prosperity
lies along the highway between
Falls City and Shubert. The
cribs are bursting with corn.
The cattle and hogs are upon
every hillside and in every lot.
1t would cost you 5000 to talk
to a farmer about the poorest
horse in his barn. Even the
chickens cackle boastingly OF
35-cent eggs. Never before in

There are many names given
in Scripture to the Divine Lord
to whom the world is returning
in thought at this particular
season of each recurring year,
ont always with some particu-
lar design. Some are descrip-
tive of his character; some point
to particular branches OF his
office; while still others appear
to be so marked, and express
siye, and pregnant with mean
ing, that, on hearing them, a
vide field of thought is opened,
Goth as to the ,beneticent de
signs of His coming, and the
glorious issues suspended on
His finished work. OF this lat
ter kind is the name which is
quoted from the prophet, Isaiah,
Nor can we fail to see how
much of deep and most signifi-
can't truth lis contained it. 1t
is plainly indicative of that
new and blessed relation into
which, by virtue of Christ's ad-
vent and incarnation, man is
brought to his Maker and his
God. In Christ, God is with
us''-that is, with us for all the
purposes of protection, and
reconciliation, and blessing;
with us, especially, in the way
Of pardoning and restoring
grace.
AL the tender and halloWed
associations which the mind
treasures up in connection with

a conciliated and loth-to-be of

festival of believers, and in a

of this we might well have

display of power only. 1t shows
how terrible God would be if
he were against" us, but such
manifestations of the Divine
power supply us with no com
forting evidence that God is

bright moment when the Bright
Star of Bethlehem appeared,
all was hope, and JOY and glad

A Meditation for the Christmas Season
H ANGELS SONG

1T came upon a midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heavens all-gracious King;
The earth in solemn stiffness lay,
TO hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still celestial music floats,
Ger all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever DER it's Babel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
O we, beneath LIES crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow
Look up for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly IN the wing:
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
For 10! the days are Fastening ON,
By prophet ards ~foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
It's final splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing

of life. Emmanuel has departed,
but not the spirit of Emmanuel.

the pain of separation from

thus bridges over the great void

through d Mediator who know

a better life. Duties which
would condemn us for their I'M
projections, repentances which
we would otherwise feel to be
worthless, prayers which would
return back upon the heart that
sent them, unregarded and I'M
blessed, are all made valid and
acceptable and become channels
of communication and blessing
through our Emmanuel. And
we may all feel Him, if we
watch the course and train of
our thoughts when the mind is

noises of the earth life are shut
out, we may then feel and hear
Him, as with the still small
voice, He assures us of His
abiding presence with us. Every
man and every woman has at
times felt that the Invisible was.
nearer to him and was a more
real Presence to him than at
other times, His consultations
have touched some present sOr-
His grace has provided
for some most pressing and
urgent need-or His blood has
fallen, as it were, upon the rec
ord of some remembered sin and
blotted it out.
