t>f the four evangelists only on*: gives u*
the angel choir whiob announced the Sav
iour's birth; hut that evangelist, Like, set
forth the nreehat idyl that was ever re
corded. Kvery poet of name since the ad
vent has celebrated the angel vision of the
abenherde who, wat/.hing th'-ir flocks at
nignt on the hills around Bethlehem, saw
the heavens flaming with light and re
sounding with angelic music.
To a devout believer the scene is full of
entrancing interest. But, even to those
w ho are not fortunate enough to accept
this scene as the church docs, ft yet hiui
charms which place it at the very top of
dramatic poetry.
There is an exquisite simplicity about
the scone. 11 developed in the heavens.
It ha/I no storm or thunder. It was a flash
of light upon midnight, as it were: a sing
ing meteor that stayed not, hut with sweet
outcry went back into the mysterious space
whence it came, leaving behind nothing
except those melodious words which have
gone on sounding over all the world. And
w hat nobler words, lit for the lips of a '
find, were ever recorded? “Peace on
earth.” Peace was a seed never before :
Mown on earth. Thistle seed, thorn seed, !
nettle seed ha/1 been sown broadcast, hut
peace never! Warriors were the heroes of ,
antiquity. Men burned town and city
and quenched the embers with the blood
of th'/*e who had dwelt in them. In sea or ;
forest He re was nothing so cruel as man.
In courts, corruption, in camps, cruelty j
and slaughter; everywhere joy kindled
only to be quenched by suffering. Not the
midnight dew was more abundant than
tears. No other sentence could be framed
that would so surprise the world as this
angel prophecy, “Peace on earth.” Pas
sion extinguish* d, cruelty ended, the cry
of the warrior, lh': sound of trumpets and
neighing of steeds, the clash of armor and
the cries of the boKt ended and peace on
all the earth, that hud never known peace
but had brought forth its generations with
cries only of anguish! Words fit a for com
ing divinity!
But, ages have rolled away. The angels
have gone back into heaven and the earth
lias had no pea/ic! liven the hope of it
seems to have been slain when the Saviour
cried, “Think not that i have come Pi
send peace on earth; I come not Pi send
peace, but a sword.” Were the angels
wrong? Was this hope fallacious? Illd
Jesus rebuke their utterance? Nay. Both
were right and both utterances were true !
“Peace on earth and good-will P/ward
men” is the harbor towards which the
world Is steering.
