The hand of the cbil-l of Bethlehem still rests powerfully on the world. The birth of the little child in a little corner of the earth. obscure and humble to the last degree. A story that has lost none of its charm and sweetness through our familiarity, and yet, how far reaching. How often God chooses the weak things of the world to those that are strong. All the events of the centuries are not equal to one Bethlehem. The glad- song of the angels still rings as true for us as it did on that first Christ- mas when the shepherds heard the theme. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill to men.” And. so let us likewise carry the in- spiration of Christmas throughout the coming year, always seeking joy in the service of Him, Our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Go ye even now, even unto Bethlehem. â€"-A Prayer For Christmas Momjngâ€"V The day of joy returns, Father in Heaven, and crowns another year with peace and good will. Help us to rightly remember the birth of Jesus that we may share in the song of the shepherds and the worship of the wise men. “by”, r. n of I. R. McKihbin (‘XDI'(‘\'>C‘ ', 111:: timughts.
