an thought as he tramped home
through the snow with an armful
of mail from the post Office.
But he was apprehensive, for in
the bundle was a letter from Caro-
line, his daughter. Why, he kept
asking, would Caroline be writing
now, the day before Christmas, un-
less to tell her parents that she
wouldn't be home for the holidays?
Noisily he stamped the snow from
his overshoes on the back porch,
then walked into the kitchen which
was savory with the odor of his
wife RachePs Christmas cooking.
Then, as Rachel approached the
bundle of letters he had placed on
the table, Timothy found himself
shrinking from the room, fearful of
how Rachel would take the news.
No Caroline for Christmas! Why,
never once in her "a years had Caro-
line been away. But, then, she was
building her own life in the city,
now - new friends, new interests.
And spending the holidays with two
old parents was probably pretty
dull.
But how would Rachel take it?
If only someone, anyone, would
spend Christmas with them to re-
lieve the lonelinessl Well, how
about young Tom Wakefield, with
whom Caroline had once been in
love, fine young chap who didn't
have a home, and who probably
would miss Caroline this Christmas
as much as he and Rachel would?
A few minutes later Timothy was
tramping downtown through the
snow again, and into Tom Wake

answered. He turned red, then pale.

have you been, leaving me all alone
with this news about Gardiner"
RachePs eyes sparkled.

nice having him, remembering how
he and Caroline used to be so close.

TWENTY CENTURIES

The birth of the Saviour did not,
then and there, establish peace
on earth and good will among
men.
Caesar did not topple from his
pinnacle at the precise moment:
people continued to grumble
against his DEGREES and wonder
what new law would Cypress them
next. Herod, king of Judea, did
not join the Wise Men in adora-
ton of the Holy Child: but rath-
er, authorized the slaughter OF
the innocents in an attempt to
destroy Him.
But:
There were shepherds watch
ing over their flocks some two or
three miles from the Stable OF
Bethlehem: the Angel Of the Lord
appeared unto them: Wise Men,
having seen His Star in the East,
hastened to bring symbolic gifts
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
On this Christmas day, we re-
member the children in His Name
for theirs is the Peace of to-
morrow-and, hearing the carols
of good will above the present
turmoil, we are the shepherds Of
Bethlehem.
