Her SOnl Filled with the glory Of
Her sacred, wOndrOus mother love
She held Him in her arms.
Felt the pulse of His heart against
hers,
Smiled, and crOoned the tender
mother sounds
That fall so sweet on baby ear.
He was her Son; and she was Mary.
Mother of Jesus, pure Lamb Of
the Lord.
They came to adore Him, aad her
smile
Was sweetly wise. She knew what.
they
Could only dimly sense
That here lay all of Love Iacarnate,
That now The Word was come to
life,
The pledge of God had been re-
deemed.
She was Mary, blessed among
women,
Mother of Christ, the Saviour. I'm
manuel.
And the angels sang. and the star
Emblazoned the night, and the
Magi
Came and hailed Him King Of
Kings.
But now sorrow tinged the mother
pride,
Dark anguish gripped the mother
heart
Jesus was born, fruit of her womb:
She was Mary, and He was her Son.

From Your stable,

The wounded doves.

Give them Christmas

Forest Hills blvd. Permits were
granted for % commercial changes,
46 garages, CTS garage, and
112 additions, alterations and re-
pairs to present buildings.
An unusual figure was the So
wrecking permits issued, the major
ity of them for the CTS project.

ued at $2S5,OOO; apartments at
100000, the clinic at 100000

George c. Marshall called today
for a spiritual rebirth to estab-
lish anew good faith among men
as prime necessity for enduring
world peace.
Such regeneration, the 1858
Nobel peace prize winner de-
clared in a lecture at Oslo Uni

bring good will, faith and under
standing among nations.
The 70 year old American
soldier statesman, honored for
his sponsorship of Americas SIT

war Europe, received his prize
yesterday in the same hall. To-
nights lecture was required by
the will of Alfred Nobel, Swedish
inventor Of dynamite, who left
the money for the awards.
No Simple Solution.
Gen. Marshall offered these
suggestions for furthering the
cause Of peace. warning that
they held nothing Of glittering
or early promise:
/. "A careful study of all fac
tors" which have caused wars in
the past and a striving Ito deter
mine the great fundamentals
which must govern a peaceful
progression toward a constantly
higher level Of civilization"
2. Study and understanding
by peoples everywhere of the
differences between national
groups. He suggested that prin-
ciples of cooperation based on
these factors might contribute to

a better understanding among
all nations.
3. Solving the economic prob

under subnormal conditions and
who have now come to a realiZa-
ton that they may aspire to a
fair share of the God-given
rights Of human beings"
viii to Act On wisdom.
"But perhaps the most impor-
tant factor will be a spiritual
regeneration to develop good will,
faith and understanding among
nations" he declared.
"And with all these" Gen.
Marshall asserted. there must
be wisdom and the will to act
on that wisdom"
Although he completed draft

Oslo. Gen. Marshall in effect re-
piled to Communist hecklers who
interrupted yesterdays presen-

edged that the award of the
peace prize to a soldier hao
caused considerable comment
but reminded his listeners, Il

and tragedies of war"
Gen. Marshall pointed out
that as chairman of the Ameri-

military cemeteries overseas,
"the cost Of war in human lives
