The watchers in the distant past With earnest eyes were gazing, And unto them appeared at last That wonder most amazing. Descending from His throne on 1 igh, And in til grace excelling, « They saw the Lord of earth and >*£y Who makes with men his dwelling. He came to men enslaved by sin So bruited and torn and gory. He came our hardened hearts to win That we might share his glory. He came to save the fallen race From evils past all knowing; The precious gifts of truth and grace He came m love bestowing. The angel hosts in raintnent bright From highest heaven descending, With glory tilled the silent night While on tlnsir King attendmg. The watching shepherds left JRe fold And came in homage kneeling: The sages brought their myrrh and gold To shoj^heir grateful feeling. Though nineteen hundred years have tied Since He to earth descended, His hosts will keep their onward I tread Until the night is ended. Though seasons seem to siov. move. There can be no stagnation; He works in purposes of love To perfect our salvation. With brighter light than sun or star May all our lives be gifted, Until the clouds of grief and war From earth at last are lifted. While all are pleased their friends to see And love its thought is voicing, Through all the earth may Christmas be A season of rejoicing. Colborne, Dec. 1900. T. Watson RHEUMATIC WARPED LIMBS. Mrs. H. Wills, Chesley, Ont, says "My boy, was all crippled up with rheumatism. Although we doctored, he was in this way for about one year and the pain was terrible.
