TIHNK not that I am come to de-

stroy the law or the prophets

but to fulfil-

Ye have heand that it was said,

Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy! But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despiteiully use you and per- secute you.

Fear not them which kill the

body, but are not able to kill th! soul. Rather fear him which is able to de.st.oy both soul and body.

For what is a man profited if he

gain the whole world. and lose his own soul? Or what shall a. man give in exchange for his soul?

Whoeoever shall humble himself

as a little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom oi' God.

ST. PAUL

LET all bitterness and wrath and

anger and clamor and evil-

speaking be put away with all mal- ice; be ye kindly affectioned one to another, in brotherly love, in honor preferring one a.n“thei'.

If it be possible, as much as lieth

in you, live peaceably with all men.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger,

feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing. thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

Be not overcome of evil. but

overcome evil with good.

JUSTICE is the law of conscience;

it is moral iemperance in the

world of man.

Justice is the keynote of the

world, and all else is ever out of tune.

Justice keeps right relations be-

tween men; one man, however lit- tle._muet not be sacrificed to an- other, howsver great.

Justice holds the balance between

nation and nation, for s nation is but a larger mln.

Now Jesus was born in Bethle-

hem of Judea, in the days of Herod the King. And Mary, his mother, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room in the inn.

And there were in the same

country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, 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 tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is horn this day in the city of David a Saviour. which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign

unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the

angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, goodwill toward

men. .And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made knovm unto

us.

And they came with haste, and

found Mary, and Joseph, and the

fbabe lying in a manger. i

There Came a Kung

There came a King to Bethlehem

Town

Two thousand years gone by. Who had no ermine robe or crovlm To mark his royalty;

Who found no throng to pave His

road

With palms or carpets gay,

Nor palace rich for l-lls abode

Nor courtiors to obey;

Yet empire vast awaited Him On mountain, moor and main; Even Europe's tangled forests dim Held subjects for His reign

And soon confusion ceased to hold

uninterrupted power,

And some of eartirs oppressions old Began to cringe and cower.

There came c. King to Bethlehem

Town,

Two thousand years one by, And angels from the heavens spoke

down

A royal prophecy.

That while the red sun's central

flame,

Should warm the central spheres. Though every other lcingly name

Lay dee/d among dead years.

This king would hold His state

above

The weakness of decay, Because the eternal power of love Should base His thnne sway.

There came a king to Bethlehem

Town,

Tw othousend years gone by, And still he reigns, and still speaks

down

The angels' prophecy.

And some fair century yet to rise His power complete shall grow, And all earth's sceptered crueltles Before His throne lie low.

When He Was a Boy

What a b hearted fellow old

Bethlehem Town

As I was going to Bethelehem-

town,

Uppn the earth I cast me down

All underneath a little tree That whispered in this wise to me; "Oh, I shall stand on Calvary And bear what burthen snveth

thee!"

As up I fared to Bethlehem-town, I met u shepherd coming down, And thus hc quoth: “A wondrous

sight

Hath spread before mine eyes this

night,-

An angel host most fair to see, That sung full sweetly of a tree

That shall uplift on Calvary What burthen saveth you and mel"

And as I got to Bethlehem-town, Loi wise men came that bore a

crown.

"Is there," cried I, “in Bethlehem A King shall wear this diadem?" "Good sooth," they qucth, “and it

is He

That shall be lifted on the tree

And freely shed on Calvary What blood redecmeth us and

thee!"

Unto a Child in Bethlehem~town The wise men came and brought

the crown:

And while the infant smiling slept, Upon their knees they fell and

wept,

But, with her babe upon her knee, Naught recked that Mother of thu

tree,

That should uplift on Calvary What burthen saveth all and me.

Again I walk in Bethlehem-town And think on Him that wears the

crown.

I may not kiss Hll feet again,

Nor warship Him as 1 did then; My King hath died upon the tree, And hath outpoured on Calvary. What blood redeemeth you and

mel
