o, the family Bible! so dear to us all
Can't you see It agein as Of old
1t lay on the sis'ing-room table or
shelf,
With it's clasp and it's letters of gold
It's dusky engravings IN wood-cut or
steel,
Its brown leather cover well-worn
And the fy-leaf on which were so
carefully penned
The dates when the children were
born?
The photograph album. in binding OF
plush
And glitter OF gliding ornate,
Was kept In the parlor, a place never
used
Except on occasions of state.
But the Bible and cradle together be-
longed
or the daily routine Of the household.
for they
Were things that were nearest the
heart.
When supper was over and dishes
were washed.
And the ba bies all ready for bed.
The family Bible was opened each
night
And ~ chapter was reverently read
And labor was sweetened. and cour-
age aroused,
And hearts unto kindness were
stirred.
And home-ties were strengthened, and
spirits refreshed
BY the blessing that flowed from the
Word.
In the depths Of the wilderness, saw
age and dark.
1t went with the first pioneers,
A friend in the forest to comfort and
guide,
And to quiet their doubts and their
fears.
When crimson 1fbauons at Ifbertyss

Our patriot forefathers poured.
They CONQUERED a mightier foe. for
beholdl
They were armed with the Bible and
sword.

rock,
The refuge OF every race.
And drear is the home though a pal

\ SUGGESTION REGARDING
PROPOSAL FOR PEACE

| Editor of Virginian.
Sir: make through the columns of
your paper to the larger circle OF the
public. the suggestion / made to some
friends. We should. as a nation gath
err In our houses Of worship in every
hamlet and city and country commu-
nifty and give thanks unto God for this
ray OF light from Germany's peace
proposal which falls upon the black
ness of the darkness of this awful and
unutterable tragedy in the life of our
brothers and sisters and their little
children in the old world. and pray
! that 1t may be the beginning of an
immediate end of this terrible war. In
tho first place, We will be doing the
greatest thing possible for us to bring
about the end Of this inconceivably
horrible tragedy, by our applications
to the God who sits in the heavens and
rules among the children of men In
behalf of our stricken brethren, bear
ing them in the hands of our prayers
in all their suffering and extremity to
God In the importunate spirit OF those
who climbed upon the housetop and
tore away the tiles in order that they
might bring their friend into the pres
ence of Jesus for His blessing.
Again, this nation wide thanksgfv-
ing to God and prayer will do more
than anything else to remove the mis-
understanding of all the parties of this
war rs to our attitude. and show them
that we are in deed and in truth neu-
trail.
Then, too. feel that 1t will be one
of the greatest blessings to our own
people. and through us. to the world.
showing our faith in the efficacy Of
prayer and having it's influence to
break the power of the spirit of this
modern age OF independence Of God,
and unbeiief in prayer. one Of it's most
marked characteristics. Our greatest
need as a world. Is to cultivate the
spirit which I was struck with in the
charming book. The Life of Tho
reau," a few nights ago. where the
author speaks OF the prayers of
the old pastor of Concord as precise
and undoubting in their appeal
for present providences." Moreover.
this is the most opportune time
for the emphasis on all the fundamen-
tai principles of life as they are set
forth In the doctrines of the Bible, the
New Testament especially. and I be-
lieve that one of the great things that
Almighty God will see that this I'M
speakable horror of human history ac-
composites is the capitalization OF
the nations of the earth We have
evidence of 1t already. l remember
how our ambassador. DIR. Page. in
London. said at very early period OF
the war. You cannot find a selfish
man in England"
Besides all this II will help to
bring us all 20 that sublime and re-
assuring faith which that massive
man, Charles Kingsley. OF the Church
OF England, once blurted out in his
fine rugged way. This Is Gods world.

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.
lBv FREDERIC r. CARDOZE


Most gracious Lord. forbid the sword
And dull each cleaning blade:
BE 1t Thy will. tonight to still
Each deadly cannonade.
The straying sheep seek out and keep,
The blacklist one retrieve,
That he may kneel. for peace appeal,
Upon this Christmas eve.
The winter frost. December's ghost,
Its spangled robe has spread
Across the mead. each shrub and weed
Now lies suppressed and dead.
From out the gloom a hollow boom
The seasons message tells,
From metal threats. where hatred
gloats,
Instead of Christmas bells.
The sentry's boon. the full white
moon,
Which clouds anon conceal.
Rebukes the blight, with silver light
OF each stern gun of steel.
1t clothes the plain where lie the
Contorted yet serene,
In garments rare that spirits wear.
Translucent sheets of sheen.
For deaf the ears OF kings and peers
To sorrow and despair,
And men still pray in pits of clay,
Entrapped, like beasts In lairs
While over earth the Saviour's birth
Is heralded once more,
From placid lea to stormy sea.
From scared to sheltered shore.
Though peace on earth reigned at His
birth
In David's city then,
And vale and hill sang of good will
From Him toward all men,
Tonight the breath OF hate and death
Is breathed from many a soul;
Each watchful group and soldier
troop
Has slaughter for it's goal.
With appraised arm, still each alarm
Which shall ascend above,
Bid Thou the age of wars fell rage
Give way to brother love;
And In Thy might forbid the fight
That wages day by day
And lead each race with radiant face
And Arm clasped hands, away
