We bring greetings to each of )ur readers for a happy, peace ul, joyous Christmas. May here be nothing to mar or dis ;urb the true Christmas spirit nd felicity. May every heart n that glad day go up in a joy us refrain and join in sentiment .nd feeling with the angelic host of nearly two thousand years .go when they sang "Glory to xod in the highest, and on earth eace, and good will toward nen." And why should we not do his? It should be the highest mbition of every Christian to oin in this acclaim. It should e considered the greatest priv ege of any and all in this Chris ian land to seek the full fruition f such a condition. The phrase expresses t -e fact nd desire that all should recog tize God's.goodness, the fullness f His love-and His glory in the ighest. To the uttermost de .ee, in the highest strain, is the mitless conception of human hought. in the highest heave as nd in the highest degree. Why? 3ecause in the coming of His nly son, Jesus Christ, it meant eace on earth; it meant that ;od was so much concerned bout the welfare and happiness nd blessings of mankind that 'He gave His only begotten on" to bring them into peace, nd love, and joy, and life ever asting. The peace which God brings o man through Christ is not nly the ideal, but the goal oward which men are moving, he holy city of God. Peace, eace, who is it that does not rant peace? Peace of mind, eace of soul, peace of con cience. That peace which pass th understanding; which the rorld cannot give nor take .way. Oh, that that peace may eign supreme and control the onduct of millions on earth this lessed Christmas day! This peace produces good will ward men; it brings the rich t blessings God can bestow, hich is manifested by His for iing love, and will fit men for e highest life on earth and the lessedness of heaven. No wonder .Isaiah exclaimed a hcooked' thirough the misty uture, " His name shall be alled "Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." ['he one who rules in such a way hat peace and love and joy bide in His kingdom. It is in xhaustible. There are no 'dis urbing elements. And as we come to celebrate his Ohristmas day let us think this Prince of Peace, the ~reatest' gift of God to man. et us celebrate it with ur gifts of love and peace to the oor and to friends. More than in any age past we iave roason for celebrating the ~oming Christ into the wrorld for nore than ever do we see the ruits of that coming; we are iearcr the Golden age. "Mighty opes make us inen," said Ten iyson, and assurances of a trans ~ormed world gives enthusiasm nd strength. There are none o poor, so unworthy, so feeble, fut can show in deeds of kind ess, expressions of sympathy, ?Iords of love, cheer, hope and ~ourage, and thereby bring to he hearts of men this glad day eace and good will.
