It is devoutly in be wished that all. at this holy season. should meditate in their hearts 'upon the deep mea.ning.and mystery of the Saviour's birth. , ,

it occurred in a' particular place. Bethlehem, at a particular time. somewhat less than two thousand ynars ago; yet its meaning and mystery are as much of the parti- cular place. and of the particular time in w ich we presently find ourselves. as they are of that.

it long years of hu- msn slit and humuiation, as the fulfillment of this promise made in the garden of Eden so long won and echoed with in- creasing clarity by God's prophets and holy men. It came as the anti- typs and reality of what had been so often shown forth in type and symbol. It came as the answers to the longing: of mankind, so' ef- fectively epitomized in the cry of lowing of Isaias: "Drop down dew. ye heavens. from above. and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a Saviour." 1

NOT A DHJTSION

At this time in the world's his- wry. we would do well to think upon the meaning of the word "peas-.4.-." Does it, perhaps. seem strange to us. that the angels should have announced peace when cease- lessly the world has been striken with War and the fear of War. Does it, perchance. seem that the angelic voices were mistaken and the promise a disappointment and

a cheat? oonaid how Christ-Himself e of Peace. He said to His

piss: ”My peace I leave you. imy news I give unto you." Did 39 50311 Peace as we think or it: unity betweui sovereign states based on lntltlialiy-sroqeehd mm.

The disciples of Chris knew no

What. then. did Christ mean? In asking such a question .we should remember that He -also saidzi "Not as the world gives. give I unto you.'' '1!) His disciples. then, Ila gave peace, but not peace as the world gives. .

on the next day after the eels- bration of Christ's birth we con- memorate the martyrdom of st. Steriven. the first martyr. Of him the Acts recount that "looking up steadfastly to heaven, the) saw the glory of.God, and Jana stand- ing on the right hand of God.” Who will gainaary that the blessed Stephen experienced the of peace which is not as the world gives?

LIVING PARADOX I

x '1'he life of the disciple of Christ is paradoxical, In the midst of the most abject material poverty, he is rich with the wealth of the Spirit. In the midst of the most excruciat- ing sufferings from accident, slot- ness. or oppression. he is inwardly at rest. In the throes of the most shattering sorrow. he is rejoicing within. In the chaos of upheavals of nations and peoples. he is in-' wardly at peace, with that inward peacewmich the angels announced and which Christ gives. ,

The life of him who has not ac- cepted Christ u the fulfillment of man's longing is likewise para- doxical; but in this case tragically no. In the midst of material affil- ence. it is possible for a man to be inwardly starved. In perfect phy- sical health, witirnio oppression. he may undergo the most subtle tor- ture. While outwardly hilarious he can be inwardly barren. This fol- lows from this. that he has not a share in that peace which Christ gives. but which is not as the world gives.

There is no contradiction between the peace which Christ gi and the state of peace described rlier. The latter peace should follow from the former. when the individual citizen is inwardly at peace with God and men with the peace which Christ gives, then it will follow that we will have peace among nations. Iii: will then be impossible to talk o peaceful O0-ca-' terms. that Jo) and loveless substitute for true peace. Then will the na- tions oi the earth bind their fellow- men to themselves with the strong. though gentle. bonds of iratemsl iov.e.. .

Let us make it our prayer at this holy season that all men may

Timely Notes on

Hudson's Bay Company fur sales auction in New York last week was a great success. A crowded sales room sent Royal Pastel levels up 10 to 15 per cent above H. B. C.'s EMBA sales of December 9, 1053. Similar offerings of Cerulean and Lutetia aacb advanced 10 per cent above last year's opening. The auction company reported virtually a 100 per cent turnover of these three major mutations. with strong interest in all types and particular- ly in females.-Foreign buyers con- tributed to the strength of the sale. The official repore follows: Royal pastels. 13. 196 pelts. 99 per cent sold. males advancing 10 per cent femaieg lb per cent. Top males brought S46 and females 325.50. An offering of 730 Stewai-is was 100 per cent sold. reaching a top of

A small homozygous collection was 100 percent sold. reaching a top of 572 for Stewart platinum males. Royal' pastel males sold mainly from 336 to 340, with approximate- ly 41 per cent of the offering in that price range. About 30 per cent of sales were in the 332 to 336 bracket. A year ago at H. B. C.. the 332 and up bracket was only 57.. per cent of the sale as compared with 85 per cent at this sale. Females were even stronger. The 319 to :23 bracket included 72 per cent of the offering. A year ago. only 14 per cent. of the sale brought S19 and up. Only 18 per cent of the offering went under :19. A year ago 80 per cent was under 810.
