oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing,
For 10, the days are Fastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years.
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth
shall own
The Prince OF Peace their King,
And the whole world send back
the song
Which now the angels sing.
Even though the Christmas land
is Itself today garrisonei by Moslen'
troops at VA; even though the
sounds oil military strife re-echo
over the fields where the shepherds
watched ana over the hills where
the Christ.Child played, stiIl we may
know a deeper, truer Christmas
than any that has ever gone before.
Opportunities for deeds OF soou
will are more abundant than usual
No thoughtful person at the present
time can contemplate a Christmas
that is not shared with the world
sufferers; the war-smitten lands need
our Christmas gifts. The great heart
OF America should go out 10 perish
ing Armenia, to starving Servia and
Poland and Belgium. Were the
words of the Christ ever more
pertinent than now: "lnasmuch as
ye have done II unto one OF the least
OF these my brethren, ye have done
il unto Me"
What say the dazed and wonder
ing shepherds to us, as they stand
gazing upward into the glorious
Syrian night OF stars, after the ce'
lestial choir had sung its sone
and spoken its message? Let us
now 20 even unto Bethlehem, and
see this thing that is come TO pass
That is the word Let Us reverently
turn in spirit to Bethlehem. TO the
great simplicities, 10 the lowliness
and humility OF the nativity. Put
ting aside all the glitter and TIN
sci of today's Christmas-keeping, let
us seek, in that smoke-grimed, un
adorned, cheerless caye-stable, ire
great truth which lies at the heart
OF Christmas: God has drawn as
near as He can get to man. The
Bate is Emmanuel with US,
No longer are we to contemplate
God as enshrined in the ineffable
glory OF the highest heaven: lie has
drawn nigh us IN Jesus, the Son OF
Mary; and His Christmas name Is
Saviour and Love"

The Deeper Meaning Of the Bells.
Mere merriment will not suffice
for the keeping OF this Christmas
We cannot get music enough out OF
the sleighbells for our present mood
All the tinkle OF the glittering gauds
on the Christmas tree, and all the
gayety of light-hearted revel. are
inadequate for this most meaning
full Of all Christmases. Nothing but
the deep, solemn notes of the an
gels song can satisfy US. That
held a new, divine program for our
hurt and sorrowing world. Good will
and peace-these are the slogans for
mankind today. Hark Hear you
not the angels
still through the cloven skies they
come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world:
Above It's sad and lonely plains
They bend on lowering wing.
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
20 We, beneath lifes crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low.
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now, for glad and golden
hours
