The Kindly Vision I am not strong till I have learned to bear With equity, the weight of boding care. Or to forget when in the crowded strife Come disappointments thronging into life. I have not won until I am a king And fear no foe that earth or tome can bring, But with a royal heart, and sovereign will Can look where God doth dwell and conquer still. I am not happy till I've learned to roam. Where I can always sight the gates of home. And when by grief, or pain, or tempest tried Can triumph through a Savior crucified. 1 am not safe till I have come to scorn With regal pride the selfish thoughts inborn To keep me living on a lower plane Where, there’s no hell to shun, no heaven to gain. I am not master of life’s plans till I Have fully reckoned with the bye and bye Caught the full glory of the sunset's gleam Or chased the witchery of the passing stream, That hurries sparkling where the western clouds With death's brief gloom the passing day enshrouds So brief. 1 little dread the fading light But wait to catch the music of the night; A music breathing neither doubt nor fear But the calm, quiet message kings can hear— When they by faith the far-off vision see And seek the heights of all eternity.

Christmastide Flows Deeply In Human Hearts This Year Profound Social And Economic Effects Os Mellowed Mood—Some Unusual Significances Os Christmas—A Traveller’s Memories Os Nativity Scenes.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS With especial reason this year we call the great holiday "Christmastide." For it is on the deep flowing tides of tho time that our dei.x'ndeme is placed for emergence from tho world's dark days. By now It should he clear to everybody that no measure of statecraft or economies Is going to remedy existing untoward conditions. Only a new mood, a new purpose, in the hears of people generally cun do what is needed. The vast changes already effected in tho . public life of the nations have | clearly resulted from a tide of popular feeling a tide surging through I the mellowed spirits of uncounted | millions everywhere on earth. 1 , never h«ird of a public official's' reckoning with Christmas as n ' factor in tho affairs of tho day. Rut it is. nevertheless, I do not allude to the increased volume of business which the day always brings; but to the far more important Increase of the volume of good will, of brotherliness, of magnanimity and of unselfishness which flows everywhere at Christmastide. And these are exactly the qualities which we need for real recovery. In a word, the world must be re-' organized from tho bottom upward, and not from the top downward. It always has been so. Deliberations and decisions of legislatures and economic conferences are less effective than the impulses which move within tho spirits of tho people. Reconstruction is built upon human hearts. If our changes are made in tho spirit of Christmas—which is "Pea-e on earth, among men of good will"—then all will lie well. Unexpected Recruits There are more servants of Christmas than we commonly reckon. The army of heaven (for that is literally the meaning of "heavenly hosts") which first sane the Christmas message above Judea’s brown hills have had many ami unexpected recruits. It is a Christmasy exercize to let our thoughts dwell upon the volume of books and songs and essays and sermons and pictures which have taken up tlie Chrsitmas song and echoed it universally. No other theme has produced so much literature, art and eloquence. Nowadays, in a litoral sense, Christmas is “in the air;'' for all of

the world’s radio stations are caroling and speaking the dear old Christmas Story; which first came from the upper reaches of the atmosphere. Nobody has ever attempted a computation of the number of Christmas cards and other greetings that are passed from person to person in any given year. Think of the thousands of artists and authors who have been employed in producing these; and of the myriads of printers and engraven? and salesmen —all recruits to the first Christmas army. Every year I receive Christmas greetings from Japan and China and Indian and Persia and Irak and Syria and Palestine and Egypt and Turkey. These remind me, incidentally. that even in the nonChristian lands of earth Christmas is kept today—a universal testimony to the pervasiveness of the influence of the Savior who was born a babe at Christmas. A Traveller's Memories This pen flows most freely when writing upon the Christmas theme: for all the scenes of the Nativity Story are familiar to me. 1 have gone mere times than 1 can count, to Bethlehem and to the oldest of churches, which covers the scene of the once humble village khan. 1 have attended formal Christmas services there; and I have at other times stood alone in the over-decorated stone crypt which is the most sacred spot in Christendom; for these Jesus was born. I have wondered over the unrnonumented Field of the Shepherds, where chilled and weary working men found their vigil over their ( flocks interrupted by celestial visitants, with the Good News. Thous-1 amis of pictures have represented the visit of the shepherds to the stable with its mother and Child; hut the greater wonder, seldom portrayed by art. was the scene »»»*«**»• * The International Sunday School Lesson for December 23 is “Christmas and The Christian Home." —Luke 2:8-19; Eph. 6:1-4. ♦ *»»»»«*•

• in tlie open fields when the An1, nouncement came to a group of be I wildered peasants. i As I know Bethlehem, so also I j [know Nazareth, the home town of [ Jesus and His parents; and the old. [road that links the two. up and '.down which so mtieh of the Bible I history was enacted. I Stretching farther than our common occidental understanding I knows, runs the road of the Wise Men; and that. too. 1 have travers- • |ed. They came later in the story. following a star which the Shepherds never zaV. They found Mary ‘ and Joseph and the Wonder Child |no longer in a stable, but in a i house. Theirs had been a long, hard [ pilgrimage, from far Persia, across Mespotamia and Arabia, and then, probably byway of Damascus, • down through the Land of Promise. Os all the camel caravans that have ever made this wearisome journey—we do it now by automobile. within twenty four hours — this was the most noteworthy. None of the historic marchings and cduntermarchings of kings ami conquerofs over this route hus the significance ot this journey of tho Magi, bearing Hie tribute of learning and wealth to the Babe of Bethlehem. Amidst hard times, it is well to refill that other journey, which is part of the Christmas Story; when J the Holy Family, enriched by the I gifts of the Wise Men. fled from Bethlehem down the route the patrlchiarchs knew, to Hebron. Beersheba. and through the flinty wast-' os of Sinai to Egypt, where they found refuge from bloody Herod’s: jealously. I wonder if they stopped at Kadesh-barnea on the way. and drank from tho Spring of Moses’ Certainly, much of tho talk o' Jos ! eph and Mary was of the wilder-1 ness wanderings of the Children of Israel amidst these same scenes. [ A Great Story's Simplicity One natural reason why the, Christmas Story makes such a universal appeal to the hearts of hu-( manity is that it contains all the i elemental human factors. There is | the lovely Hebrew maiden. Mary,! her ehaste mind full of girlhood's j sacred dreams, who. wondering and incredulous, received the marvelous news by the Nazaretli spring. Then followed the bitter l days of misunderstanding in the neighbor's minds. Joseph, carpenter and gentleman.

■ enters the scene. Great in simple 1 quiet strength and loyalty was Jos- ! eph. one of the real saints of the - Bible. His tender care of his child- ; wife, as. with the urgency of her 1 hour drawing near, they journeyed 1 to Bethlehem, the home of their ■ fathers, for Home's inexorable cen--1 stis, endeare Joseph to all friends t of the Christ Child. 1 Baffled by the crowded state of 1 the town, all houses and inns full. ■ Joseph found friends among the 1 made rooms the warm cave : kindest in the world-—and they i stable, amidst their horses and 1 donkeys, for the travellers from I Nazareth. It is all the simple an- : nals of the poor. Christmas And The Home ■' Although it was the birth of a • Babe to a temporarily homeless ’ family that created Christmas, this • is, nevertheless, the world’s most ! homecentered festival, with the 1. child in the midst exalted. This Lesson stresses the homo signifi- ! can.ce of the season. The simple fact that Christmastide surges highest in the home lends it unusual power. For if there is one purpose a- ’ hove another that dwells deep in ■ the average person’s heart, in these times of change. It is the ‘ resolution to preserve our homes,; ‘ in security and sanctity.
