Throughout the world today Americans once more
are celebrating Christmas in their own homes and church-
Cs before the altars of strange churches in strange lands !
on tropic Leaches and snowy battlefields in barracks and
hospitals and prison camps
aLvoilluchlo "u loC411Sit
For a little time their immediate feelings of anxiety
or pain or loneliness will be crowded out by the emotions
of love and fellowship which Christmas always kindles
Wherever they are there will be the old carols and the old
familiar story with its triumphant hymn of the angelic
host "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace
good will toward men"
Slowly through defeat and despair and cynicism the
Christian world has struggled over the centuries to trans-
mute those words into reality And two thousand years of
failure made bitter by this present and most tragic failure
cannot erase the hope that those words arouse
Today the struggle is not Symilolical but fiercely liter-
al The war is in a real sense a crusade For the Christian
world is battling cruel and pagan enemies whose goal has
been the destruction of peace and good will and the 'sub-
stitution of a slavery of body and spirit masquerading as
something called Co-Prosperity and the New Order
That enemy threat is being averted and peace will'
be won With it must come good will for the one cannot
exist without the other Never in the history of Christen-
dom has that fact been more apparent than now and nev-
er have the people of Christendom been more actively
acutely determined that peace shall he built upon an en-
during foundation of good will
It is a task as hard as v ar itself in which men's good
will must overcome their fallibility It will need leaders as
wise and courageous as those who have led our armies !
"On earth peace good will toward men" The wonder
of it is not that the Christian world has failed of achieving
that Llessing but that it is still bravely trying to fulfill that
promise through blood and toil and faith

T' heavenly host vanished but
a radiant glow lingered upon
the plain Here Ruth had gleaned
and Boaz met and loved her Here
else David had tended his fa-
ther's flocks Here now if he
could believe his ears an heir had
been born to David and would
lead his countrymen to peace and
joy yea might lead even the
Romans the Romans and all men
Joel reflected
Eager now to return to the
sleeping flocks the shepherds
hastened The Roman inn of
Bethlehem they saw was yet
alight as Romans and Hellenists
passel the night in unwonted
revelry
Familiar with the courtyard
Jcl became leader now and his
foot was lirid to pause at the
inn's- stable From Nvi th i n the
cavernous dark a light glowed
there was the low murmur of
voices and M bile the shepherds
hesitated the stir Of wings sound-
ed and hovering low above the
stAble they beheld the angelic
throng whose message had
fetehed them thither
It was as though the angels
stood silent guard there was no
und of singing now and Joel
turned to wit his fellows would
they follow into the cave?
Cradled in a manger the King
of Glory lay sleeping A mere
helpless babe such as love has
given repeatedly throughout the
ages infinitely dear with a value
beyond price and a beauty great-
er than the beauty of the universe
Joel felt the ache in his heart
advance to his throat so that
speech was impossible and he
knew - now why Jonathan had
-'-ert his babe to Michel who
'ould he have trusted with
a Ming so holy?
This babe before them warm
in the hay-scented manger the
birth of this babe would redeem
all the unwanted births of gen-
erations and the radiance that
surrounded Him where He lay
wrapped in His swaddling clothes
that radiance would spread its
light into every darkened place
and its warmth and power bring
healing where it entered
He noticed the mother and her
husband then and an impulse to
kneel would not be denied So
that he knelt before the maiden
while the other shepherds kneel-
ing also told of the star and the
herald whose word had brought
them here
While they knelt the whole
'stall became bright as day'
LITTLE DAN became restless
and Michel awakened as the
new morning light fell within the
sheepfold The sun had not yet
risen and Michel raised herself
on one elbow striving to see the
figure of her husband in the door-
way of the fold The sheep were
asleep and the quietness that held
only the soft sounds of their
breathings was suddenly broken
by excited shepherd voices The
sleeping babe in her arms Michel
rose and flung a robe hastily
about her shoulders and stepping
carefully she made her way to
the doorway anxious lest the ris-
ing sound of voices should rouse
the sheep and take them from the

Joel was there and he came to
her his face afield his step eager
and young once more es she had
known it in the days before the
and Jonathan were wed and Joel
had ridden away to war
He drew her close to him and
explained excitedly "Thou bast
slept while angels sang! The
Messiah is born! This night wr!
shepherds have seen glory beyond
that of kings We have seen Him
who is born to be King and
Saviour of all the world!
"Ant-tis sang a Willi and
a staI led the way and an herald
told us we should find Him in a
manger with cattle lying near We
went even unto Bethlehem to the
stable of the inn and found Him
of whom the angel told: The
heir of David who shall save His
people The babe through wh6se
birth- peace and good will al-e
promised to all men"
"In a stable Joel?" Miehal
questioned and her thoughts flew
to Flavia and her brother Was
this the wife refused her rdom
that Drums might sleep in the
int)? Had the Lord of all the
World been born in a stable be-
cause site Michal had flirted
with a Boman and feared his
coming to her this night? Yet
how should the shepherds have
known Him from a hundred babes
if Ills birthplac e had not been
strange?
Joel answered "In a manger

breath of clean cattle and hal

"The babe's mother is it well
with her?" Michal asked -
She is young and lovely" Joel
replied "And worthy to bear

deed for she welcomed us gra-
ciously and let us look upon the
babe And about her and the
child was a luster as though the

"Would that I had the riches of

Another spoke of the star- its
brilliance visible still from Where
it stood above the stable "It is
so wondrously bright surely its
radiance will shine upon the
