"Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men. "-Lk. 2:14.
From law, through prophecy, we
have come TO gospel. From tragedy,
unrelieved, through tragedy silver
lined with peace, we have come TO
this angelic acclaim of peace for the
whole world. From the pencil of
light in Genesis we have come to
The effulgence of noon in Luke. Be.
tween these terminals what contrast!
Out of unrelieved darkness into mar.
vellouS light
This lets us see the wondrous ad-
vance in the disclosures OF the good
pleasure of God toward men. The
wide reach of the ages between the
first prediction OF the Seed of the
woman, and the fitness of the times
when, here, that Seed appeared in
Bethlehem, enables us to discern the
immense development. AS the ages,
Tiled with tears and tolls and tumulls,
slowly rolled past, men may not
have realized that the purpose of
God was, indeed, increasing So
slowly and painfully did it move.
But we can see it. The scenes and
spirits OF the Eden tragedy and the
Bethlehem birth are in the impress
Sive contrast of advance.
And that accomplished advance
is the prophecy of yet greater one
A pure purpose, truth unfleshed.

darkness, feels its way and forces it.
self up into its fountain issue in light
and refreshment. But now, after the
Bethlehem birth, the purpose and the
truth are incarnate in the Divine
Human Child. Henceforward, they
shall move with the double initiative
OF the human and the divine. The
child is no sooner the Man at His
work than He begins to say 10 mar
yelling men, Thou shalt see greater
things than these" And they did.
They saw His own wondrous life.
They saw the cross, the empty Sc
pulchre, the ascent from Olivet, the
descending Spirit, the great multiludes
obedient to the faith. They saw,
after those Pentecostal days, the
prevalence of a spirit over all the
known earth that was as tide with
the pressure OF the swelling seas be-
hind il.
And, now, we who are permitted,
once again, TO see 1.-THE Birthday OF
the King" realize that more has been
wrought in these 10 centuries since
Bethlehem, than in the 40 before it.
And thou shalt see greater things
than these" still holds good. From
The outlook of today, we see the red
dening dawn of The day of peace on
earth, good will to men, everywhere.

dore Perry sent a thrill through every
patriotic American heart by the word

enemy and they are ours!' One hun
bred years later, at the opening Of
this year, 1913, patriotic Americans
still find they have enemies to meet.
Before the year closes may we all be
able to say I'VE have met the enemy

cannot be equalled by the meanness of
the former. But we can whip them

1t therefore follows that the educa-

much alike"
After good deal Of sincere study
and thought on the subject, l came
to the conclusion that to a great eN-
tent these criticisms were right. What
was lacking was the absence of any
real iOyousness-Of any feeling Of
pulSating life to the dancing Lack
ing the splendid joyousness of Miss
Duncan's work. the dancing of most
of the classical dancers was curious
