we know until we have crossed over
the bar and taken our places among
the immorta1s who are to live through
the ages which are without beginning
and without end. The Creator of these
worlds, from whose hand they were
launched into space, by whose COM
mand they sweep through eternity
and sing their endless music of the
spheres" came to earth, ives born in a
manger. and died upon the cross to
bring redemption from sin to man
kind
On Sunday next the thought of much
of the world, even of the people in the
nations who do not accept the mirac-
ulous birth and death upon the cross,
viii center around that one supreme
event, and in hundreds Of millions OF
human hearts there will be new ten
derness, a new conservation of life to
the welfare of others, a new love for
little children, a new passion for the
,betterment Of their fel1owman. The
music made by the heartstrings of
mankind, as touched on that day by
divine power, viii be somewhat akin to
that heavenly music heard by the en-
raptured shepherds when the angelic
chorus sang:
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace to men of good will"

CHRISTMAS DAY
BY RICHARD IT. EDMoNDS,
Editor Manufacturers Record

All history, from the day when Adam
and Eve were driven by the power Of
sin out Of the Garden of Eden, has been
as it has been said. His STORY the
story Of Him whose birth was heralded
by the angelic choir to the shepherds
who tended their flocks on Judea's
plain 1900 years ago, in heavenly mu-
sic such as earth had never before
heard.
With prophetic vision men had
pointed to the time of His coming.
Through all the ages all things con-
verged to the birth of RedeemerI
from sin for mankind; and since then
all human history has diverged from
that birthday and from the cross of
Calvary. Upon that one central fact
in the worlds history the worlds best
literature has been written; the world $
best songs have been sung; the world
greatest poems penned; the worlds
greatest paintings limned; the worlds
greatest statues carved and even in
things Of business wherever ana when
ever b. C. or "A. d. appear in chrome
logical statements the whole world tes-
titles in one way or another to the
supremest event IN the history OF man
in heavens plans, or which viii appear
so long as eternity lasts.
Wipe out, if it could be done, the
paintings based upon the birth and
the death of the Son of God; blot out
the books that have been written, the
poems which have inspired the high
est thoughts of mankind, the statues
which have been carved by the great
est sculptors Of the world, and you
would practically destroy the best that
is in every art gallery and every IL
