"Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men," Those words express the Di- vine purpose of the event which we celebrate on Christmas day, Nearly twenty centuries after this purpose was proclaimed, war of the most dreadful kind is being waged in practically every section of the earth. Shall we say then, that the task of bringing peace on earth was too great even for God9
 That question might be answered bysaying that the peace conferred through Christ is an inward state of mind which enables one to re- main calm and undisturbed amid the external temrcsts and conflicts that bring distress and agony to the other man. Christ recognized the im- portance of being able to face calm ly the dangers and the turmoil Of earthly experience because of the assurance that underneath arc the everlasting armsp
 We cannot, however, assume that when our Lord said, Blessed are the peacsmakers," He had in mind only the inner peace of His individ- ual followers. He bade us pray for the coming of Gods Kingdom on earth. Peace in the soul of the in dividual is to be transmitted to the outer environment.
 The mission of Christ who was born on Christmas was not to pro- vide an escape from earth'S turmoil and tragedy. He came to transform the kingdoms of this world; king domS where sin and selfishrsss lead to conflict and agony, into the Kingdom of God. He came to bring that peace which is the fruit of righteousness,
 The Christmas promise was not simply peace, Peace in a world of sin would indeed have been a task beyond the power, and contrary to the wisdom of God. The assurance confined in the song of the heaven ly Host is "On earth peace, good will" or. a better translation per haps, Peace 10 men of good will" Christmas means the coming Into our human life of One who purposes to fulfill the conditions upon which alone a righteous and beneficial peace is possible. No true peace Is possible for those who are slaves of sin. Christ is the Prince of Peace because first of all He is our Saw four, our Redeemer. He does not force His gifts upon us. His method of saving is beautifully described in the Book of the Revelation: Be- hold. stand at the door and knock: if an, man hear my voice, and open the ocor, will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" To those who respond to His offer and open the door to their hearts to Him. He gives power to become sons of God.
 Peace on earth is possible only where earth's children have been born again as Gods children.
 The significance of Christmas in wartime is therefore an invitation

CHRISTMAS 1o42
By GEORGE L. LEE

 Keep the bells of Christmas ringing All Is rapture as we pray: The starllt sky in glory shines As angel choirs hold sway. Across the hills of Canaan-land, The rainbow's colors shine, And brotherhood Is marching on, For friendship is divine. Meath sun and moon, and winters frost, rur Comforter to be: o Thou, who walkest where we dwell, Give us the eyes to see. We journey on and scatter tears Where patience finds her way: Let not dull conscience wound our souls, And take the Christ away. Of the stable and its cradle,
 Never a tongue can say The wise men, shepherds traveled on Along the desert way. The minstrels of the morning sky, Repeat the angels lay: o make of war ghostly thing Upon th,s Christmas day!
