By CLARENCE HAWKES. (The Blind Poet of HadIey)

If sing an old, old story
 Of the Lord at Christmas-tme, Of His majesty and glory
 And the love that is sublime, It is for the nations healing
 All around the troubled earth, For the White Christ still is kneellng Praying for higher birth. On the battlefieds of Asia
 You may see Him come and go Where the bloodlust kills all pleasure And there's nothing left but woe. He is lifting up the smitten,
 Holding them upon His breast. Whom the war dogs sore have bitten, In His bosom will find rest. From old Europe, proud with culture, Comes scare with each breath. Overhead the circling culture In the trenches, sudden death. Still the voice of Christ entreating God to stay the holocaust Where the waves of are beating, And the god they trust is force. Brothers mine in this dear nation, Let us guard our firesides well Lest we bow to this commotion-- To this pageantry of he'll Only God and His compassion Can safeguard us from our fate. Let us pray, with deep emotion, That with love we'll conquer hate Let us heed the White Christ's pleading And his message from the Lord, Fer our nations heart is bleeding From some swift invading horde. Hearts strong, as they are holy Man is great, as God is great. So this Christmas trusting wholly, Let us calmly watch and wait.
