At Last
BY BRIGGS

60 long We sighed for peace on
y earth" the kind that Christmas
brings, but could not get a
nickel's worth. because Of bl,ty kings
Tor four long years they tried, the
goats, TO force their kultur down our
throatS, they sprung their mines and
murder boats. and other deadly things.
Good will to men was out OF date,
all over sea and land and in It's place
We had the hate that bore German
brand the world was full Of battle
sniokc. OF blood and wounds and mad
dened folk, and men forgot to laugh
and Joke, and kndlincss was canned.
WOW comes the time of peace on
earth. the clouds are blown away; so
let us, with exceeding mir'h, observe
the Christmas day, lot lie whose
birth we celebrate has brought, up tri.
umph over hate and humbled kings
who once were great and torn them
from their prey Though sorrow
grlmly plant, II, stakes. and fingers
Tor a night. Joy comcth when the
morning breaks, a, seers and prophets
wrYlc, This is the morn OF happy
times, the end OF tyran,s and their
crimes. SO let US make the Christmas
chimes ring ont worlds delight.
