     from these inspiring things the Song of Christmas was

     Christmas. lt rises abovle the clatter and roar ot the citys it 
     
     throbs through the scattered town andhamlet; it sings through 
     
     the sunlit islands ol the South; it permeates the frozen wastes 
     
     ol the Northland. In ever-widening volume its strains eche 
     
     around the world. 
     
    

    
     Before its magic the hosts of darkness take flight. It touches 
     
     the slumbering chords ol memory; it heals old hurts and scars; 
     
    
   
   
    
     it binds loved ones in a closer and deeper tie. There are ne ' l 4 Q e _.  g
