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.

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.

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 gn _Elms . The Christmas___S.iory, 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 13.. Banta Claus le- He must have been a newlboy. 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.
