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. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. LAWYER*. '1*0L Y.

In the long voyage, with dark days and re lentless storms, tiie shipmaster lays his course, and knows that with patience and skill he will reach the desired haven, and leave the storms to mutter and the fierce waves to rock themselves to sleep. Once spoken the words of the angels cannot he unspoken. We cannot hear them IiiiL they arc yet sounding.
