I hcard the sweet bells ringing
Solemn changes on the night,
I heard the children singing,
When the snow lay deep and white,
Beneath the steadfast glory
Of the stars that looked on them,
Singing o’er and o'er the story Oi the Babe of Bethlehem.
Like a distant echo heuving._ _
Half a sigh beneath the stars Dimly died earth‘s heavy grieving
And the miseries of war.

Drawn in bitterness of battle To the glary°_of the Lord. Through 1-the midnight passing fleetly Where the fitful breezes cease, '

THE ,FIRST CHRISTMAS
And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
And ln, tho angel of the Lord came
upon thorn, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, fear
not; for, behold. I bring you good tid- irlzs of great joy, which shall be to all people. __
For unto you is‘»born this day in
:las city of David a Saviour, which is -hrlst the Lord. '
And this shall be a sign unto you.
Ye shall find the lbabe wrapped in twaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the
lugels a multitude of heavenly host- lrzlising God, and saying. Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace. good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels vers gone away from_ them into heav- ‘l, the shepherds said one to another. .et us now go even unto Bethlehem ld see this thing which is come to xss, which ‘the Lord bath made _lown unto us. A And they came with haste, and ound Mary, and Joseph, and the babe .ying in a manger., _ _
And when they had seen it, they nade known abroad the saying which -'as told them concerning the child. And all they that heard it wondered l those things whicll were told them ' the shepherds. ‘ But Mary kept all these things, and .ondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glori- ylng and praising God' for all the llings that they had heard and seen 1'.-1 it was told unto them.

_a day-was never sick.
I id not see Norman McLeod
for some time but I saw Alex Mc-_ Phee last Sunday and he said Norman' was wollllded, but not SOJ‘i0llSly. He was wounded in the Cambrui scrap. I think Norman made a very good soldier. He has been a No. l machine gunner the last couple of~ trips.
_Iam also a No. l gunner since
last spring. ' ‘ .
As you know it is against mili-
tary law to send any news from France. I will try and tell you briefly a little of my experience there. This summer has been very hot. As you know Fritz started the offensive and got along fa_lrly well too, although Paris was his obiective I believe. We, being sent -down to check him took up our places in shell holes. There we remained for from six to twelve days at the time. That was in March and April. It was cold and wet too._ The Germans were so close to us that we could bomb each other with hand grenades. We used to go over and bomb him every night. It is no wonder he does not like the Canadians and he certainly does not.
Then this summer we started
our_offen_sive. We went over at Amlens ilrst on Aug. 8th at 4.15
prise_ Our guns opened up an awful roar. It was just one great flash of fire and a deafening noise. You could not hear yourself speak I can never forget it. We had the tanks, aeroplanes and later on in the day the cavalry. Everything working in-conjunction with one another. We went about seven miles that day. The next mornin we went over at about 10.30 ang went about seven miles also. Our plafooll went in thirty-five strong and came out with thirteen men.
Ever since, we have been going
over. The Arras fight was a hot one too, and Cambrai, both similar to Amel_rls. We _went over at Cambral at 1.30 lll the morning and got to the canal at daybreak. Then comes the funny part to cross this without any bridges for Fritz had blown them all up. 'I`he engineers rushed up and put some
. light cork floating bridges across,
which were taken for that pur- pose.._ Finally we get across, one at a time. The canal was about twenty yards wide and fifteen feet deep. _
We kept driving him for the
next few days, although Fritz kept up a very good fight. But when lt comes to a hand to hand fight heisnot in it and does not like “cold steel". The Hun certainly use dirty methods. He came over on us one morning and used flame tbrowers. They are an instru- ment he carries with a small
handle, and when he isis about twenty yards _from us e pumps this instrument and there is a liquid fire discharged from it and God help the man it falls upon! You can’t extinguish it. The only thing to do is take your knife and scrape it off your flesh.
I consider myself very lucky all
through. When you see _your comrades falling on right an, left and the bullets whizzing around you do not know who is next, but one gets used to it /and does not seem to mind it. I thought when I nas in civil life that I would go crazy if I saw such sights. You
do see a few goi_;_lg crazy of shell- shock. Under s ell fire is what gets on ll man’s nerve and we got lots of that this spring. ‘ I don’t think it can last much longer. The people around here say that we (those on leave) will not see any more fighting and we will not be sorry. _ Weil, I think ,I must close, with ‘love to all. -I remain,
Your son,
DAN.

Well, Edinburgh is a fine city
I was to see the_Forth Bridge. lt is some structure. I was also to
boarding at a fine place called Ramsay Lodge. It is quite a treat to be between the white sheets again and take off one’s clothes. I did not have mine off for a long, long time. There are rccreatioll reading, writing and pool rooms with reading and writing material.
