vj ChHatmjH bells rc iuar to tinlinjr, so let us look into the
rft sUrc. Like eyes of Heuven, wjitehful throughout the niht, they
J seom to smile upon us from their silent places, glistening with
w tears of sorrow at the frailty of our poor humanity ; yet look again !
J There is one Unit shines in greater grandeur, one that lights anew
V? oui' hope, one that beckons us, as it beckoned the wise men of
jji Juden, on to the manger whore lay tho infant Jesus, bringing
& the message of Peace on Earth, Good will to Men. Well nigh
C two thousand years have passed since those wise men marched
fe onward to closer understanding and contact with their God, but
YP the glory of The Light remains, btul it leads the way to harmony gj
jj with nature, forever it makes martyrdom sublime and turns suffer-
jr ing into triumphant glory. j
g .Jesus brought to us the all eternal gift, the Death of Death, the y
w Life of Love. Christians awake; Salute the happy morn! Arise 2X
from your slumbers this Christmastide with hearts of children; t&
mingle with their sweet simplicity and listen to the angels singing Jj
in your heart bo one with him of Nazareth. Let us place atop 2jj
the Christmas tree the star of Bethlehem, let us wind its swaying jj
boughs with threads of silver and of gold, and hang upon its limbs
in radiant colorings, our shimmering spheres, symbols of our faith, 5
our joy, and our immortalitv. Again we can lie one with Him who
notes the sparrow's fall. Each of us can spread life as He spread Jfc
life, for Life is Love for all who strive beneath (hat star of Rethle- '
v? hem. Tho embers of the Christmas log may fade into dust and JJ
$? into ashes but that Star of Hope will always shine, ever illuminat- if
yd ing God's golden refuge of the soul. Look into tho stars and read A
$ again about the Death of Death ; the Life of Love. ft
