Christmas is a prorni.se,'’the prom ise—the promi.se fulfilled. The cradle song of Israel has been ever ‘'Th.- Messiah^" the hymn of ho}>e. In the long honllage and through eve>y spi?- itual wandering the Hebrew :>e >o;e held fa.st the droam, and mo'e than di*eam, of One to come who would set them frL^e and restore the ancient 7lory! To be sure th? hope had Ireen long deferred and in the fneantime, in popular thought, temfioru! values had been .substituted for the “pu’*e gold of Il. aven”; but He wa.s i;till in the soul of the race, the “seed” to bruise the --erpent’s head, the lamb slain from the fo'ind^ftions of the w'orld, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah. And thus He came, God’s son, .the Saviour of man, the King of Kings. We never tire of His glory—the shep herds, the manger, the Star and the Wise • Men with their gifts. From childhood to old age we turn again and again, in a kind of ecstasy, to the hills of old Judah and listen to the angels sing, “Glory to God in the ^ highe.st, and on Earth peace, good will toward men. ’ Mt-n in their moral Min;ine=!s failed ,to fee Him a.« lie wa.s- an 1 we lose Him now.
