This is the gladdest hour the world has ever known since that hour
when the star-guided Magi trekked the desert trails with gifts of
frankincense and myrrh. Out of the womb of that hour is this hour
come.
To feel gladness to the full it is necessary first to have known
pairx. And God knows that the world has known now such pain as
it has never known before.
Like the waters of the sea is the blood that has been shed; like
the sands of the shore are the lives that have been sacrificed. Things
that men wrought out of the dreams of their very hearts and in the
visions of their souls have been broken into dust.
Yet. there is solace; there is still compensation. Those who died
that the world might be free are now folded in the Everlasting
Arms. The Gates of God swung wide in welcome for them. The
humblest name among them all will never pemb from the endless
memories of earth.

" In order to school itself to its diabolical task, Prussia reached back
into a heathen past and furbished for its own special uses the fiend
ish philosophy that there was found.
In, this philosophy, the God of the Christian world was contemptu

setup in His place. .
More .than that, and as the final necessary achievement, they
jeered and mocked at Christ. !

And yet, .tonight, when the voices of the guns are hushed, the
voice that spoke on Olivet is heard in all the wide-flung German

It is the insistent voice that will not be stilled. It is the voice that
speaks when all others are mute. Neither thrones nor guns can
silence it. x .
Let whoever will have what visions he may in this vast hour of
gladness ; there is but one vision they see who rest now upon their
arms across the battle-blackened fields that stretch between the
narrow seas and the red waters of the Marne
It is the vision of the Prince of Peace.
It is the vision that the soldiers of freedom forever saw across
the trenches ; the face of the Wanderer that haunted the shell-torn
nights and that gleamed through the ghostly mists of the zero hour,
, and moved in mystic radiance among the shadows of No Man's Land.
It is the vision that made lighter the wearv pack unon the sol
dier's back, that steadied his stumbling feet in the deadly dark, that
soothed him when death came to put cold dews upon his brow and
film his eyes with the summons to take the lone journey West.

THE HUX QUESTION'.
After a planting and fruitage
comes the harvest. And something
comes to him who has done the
planting. Our readers know of the
planting done by Kaiser Wllhelm and
his friends. What of the harvest?
We know cf the distresses that have
come to others from the actions of
these men we know the Almighty
has declared that men must answer
to Him for their work. But what of
a reckoning here and now? Let me
speak more particularly of the prop
crty damage done by these men. And
here we note only the action of the
Germans as to church property.
The writer is not a Roman Catho
lic, but be feels that the action of
the Germans as to Catholic property
haa been an outrage on humanity.

all wantonly destroyed. Some have
suggested that the people of the al
lies contribute for the restoration of
this Institution.
NO A hundred times. NO. Let
not the allies give one penny for this
purpose. Liet an tne expense or a
complete restoration that can be
made with money be charged
against, and collected from, the Ger
man people. And when the buildings
are replaced go Into the German col-
the museums, the libraries.
When the terms of the capitula
tion of the central powers are finally
fixed in every particular, it is not
too much to say that never again
will be world be annoyed and wor
ried about the "Balkan war-cloud."
There ain't going to be any such
thing. Peace will be the portion of
the little nations Involved, such as
they have never known before.
