PEACE ON EARTH
BY MABEL KINNEY HALL.

OF Peace on Earth the Christmas carols sing;
With joy and love- inspiring anthems ring
How like a mockery of joy it seems
With sounds OF murder crashing through our Dreams
Oh, can it be, on Chrsts own natal day.
The God OF Love has lost His rightfu sway?
An, no!a deeper, stronger hope we find
Still holding faith in Gods eternal mind
We know purpose guides this din Of war;
final peace all men fighting for.
The smile is written DER and oer
The furnace blast but purfies fine ore;
The giant gale but sweeps dark spaces clean
For heavenly blue and golden summers sheen
The pangs of giving birth counted light
For joy of bearing sons of manly might
These pangs OF war but serve to assure the birth
OF nobler, finer type Of peace on earth. :

these devilish marauders is rammed
or blown up on every voyage across
the Atlantic. In saloons where mer-
