a brilliant assemblage of scientists

But the shepherds, if they were to

their own sins. In those long night

time to look into their own hearts. |

in August 1918, when Haig was or
dering an attack upon the German
line, entrenched in defenses perhaps
the most superb erected during the
war. As he ordered the attack, Haig
said: “Now you will see what all
these fortifications are. worth when
troops are no longer resolved to de
fend them.” And that is what the ob
servers did see. The fortifications
were there, the munitions were there,
the German troops were there, but
somthing subtle was lacking. The sol
diers of the Kaiser had lost confi
dence. Their morale was lowered.
Material resources, are not enough,
without the faith and morale to use
them. And the Christ of Bethlehem,
more than any other, puts faith and
morale into men. -

Christ of Bethlehem! But, alas, after
nineteen centuries men still prepare
for war with avengeance never
known before. Yet, this we can say
also, that more men are looking to
the way of Christ as the only road to
peace. And this futher we can say,
that they are looking to Christ’s way
with more and more intelligence. The
shepherds and the wise men are
coming together in their allegiance
to the Prince of Peace. And in that
lies our Christmas hope of “Peace on
Earth.”

Let us see. The shepherds wanted a
Saviour who could champion their
rights. It has been said that the
mainspring motive of-human nature
is the desire to feel oneself a person
among other persons. A man wants
to feel that he is somebody. And that
is the feeling Christ gives to men. He
always treats individuals as ends in
themselves and not as means to an
end.
The Child of Bethlehem is the
champion of the forgotten man. The
shepherds wanted a Saviour who
would give them not only their social
rights but their self-respect. When
people have been kept down a long
time they tend to look down on
themselves. A woman wrote me a
letter a few years ago, signing her
self “An American Mother.” She had
