i f Number 43 ‘ The burden of the angel's message was. . "There is born to vou this day in the ‘ city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord". Surely the message was worthy of the glorious messenger. it was far more wonderful than He. We cannot comprehend it in its fullness. but we can and do enioy its reality ‘ There is a strange old legend 0! a world that grew colorless in a simle " night. The sky lost its azure and the clouds were lifeless, spongy vapors; the waves turned pale and motionless; the ‘sparkle fled lrorn the diamond and light from every gem;the rosy tints of mern no more were known. and the )ewded 'orbs of night had faded away. The world was as a sculptor's world all of animated . stone. The heart of man was heavy and ‘ his brain bewildered at the change. He mourned for the beauty of the flowers and the green fields and the suna-lit glory of the evening clouds. Nevermore should dewdrops glisten in the sun. or the paint- ed bow shine in the clouds. Nevermore should lake ogpcean reflect blue heaven. or stars or sun. The earth had passed ainto eclipseâ€"into the shadow of death. iThis old legend is more' than legend. It , is parable as well.

RENDER OF LOCAL INTEREST The Messenger himself is worthy of a thot. for an important messenger always signifies a message of importance “An angel of the Lord stood by" the shepherds on thejudean hills. Wonderfulmessenger indeed! And it was a wondrous worship too that he and his companions paid to the little Baby of Bethlehem’s m;nger, nineteen centuries ago. Fhere was grand beautiful singing; a magnificent service at praise which the angels began and then left it to us to perpetuate until He comes again in glory with all the holy angels with Him. A fitting conclusion too. was the angelic visitation, to the series of servxces which God's messengers had rendered in announcing God's greatest gift to man. The aged Zacharias attending to his priestly duties in the temple had had his holiness and faith rewarded by Gabriel's visit announqing the birth of the forerunner of our Lord. A vision of the same heavenly messeruer had burst upon the astonished Mary find revealed the mystery of the conception of the Holy One. Joseph. too. had been guided in his happy lover's path by one of Heaven's shining ones. So it was fit- ting. when Bethlehem's star lit up the night to guide the wise-men to His manger-cradle. that the heavens should glow with glory and the angel choir should chant His praise. Thepy-day of the world IS soon to dawn once more. This week we cele- brate the anniversary of the birth of Christ, the gladeat. the brightest. and the best day of all the year, And altho this Christmas day will dawn on many thousands of God's loved ones in homes of sorrow. and on many more whose pleasant homes have been destroyed. yet in the battle-cursed lands of Europe. on this day. many a mother's hand. in love. will dry the tears that haie dimmed her eyes for many aday, and her mother- heart WI“ breathe a prayer for strength to make this one day a day of joy to those he loves as only a mother can. And what a thrill of joy is ours now if our brotherly love has prompted us to place in that mother's hand a little gift for baby's glee. THE ANGEL'S CHRISTIAS IESSAGE DP.
