ously, sincerely, often thoughtlsssly, the prevailing wish, of Christendom today is one of good will to all man- kind. At this season the spirit of good will becomes epidemic, the world becomes charged with some- thing of that spirit which broodsd over the Judasan plains two thou- sand years ago when the shepherds were rnystified by the angels' song, “Giory to God in the Highest and on Earth Pence, Good-will to men."

"Christmas, day of rejoicing,"

alas, also, a day ot sadness! Each anniversary brings its remembrances. 'l‘o many in our city and throughout the province the backward look to former Christmases will linger lov-
