/ HE peace of Christmas time is all over the land, the blessed, holy
v^peace that the angels hrst sang over the far-off hills of Judea and
r}j j 4^ which has echoed and re-echoed with added strength through each
succeeding year.
j NEACE on earth to men oi good will.” This is the secret of the peace j
1— that comes at Christmas time, for true and abiding peace can come
only to men of good will, it can dwell in the heart only when all that is
opposed to it has been driven out. And so it is that at this season, when
man is at his very best, when his heart is filled deep with the spirit of love
and service, of giving and doing, when everything of doubt and fear, of
hatred and mistrust, of envy and malice, is cast out of his heart, this blessed
and holy peace enters in and lie knows a happiness so deep and sincere i
that it floods all his being, like sunshine flooding a darkened landscape, i
PAEACE —the word itself has a beautiful sound, a sweet cadence that
delights the ear. 1c was a word that the Christ child used often when ,
He grew to man’s estate. Once He told His disciples: “Into whatsoever 1
house you enter, say peace he to this house.” What a wonderful saluta-
tion and how sweet it: must have sounded falling from His lips! |
J ET us away with strife at this season. Now is the time to speak kindly
1 O words. Let us not carry into the new year the enmities of the old.
Let not the harsh notes of contention come into the heavenly song of
peace. Christ came to give peace, and from heaven’s throne today He |
bends to give peace to all who trust Him.
7^0 have peace within the heart and home is to enjoy sincere and
vygenuine happiness. Without it no joy can be really satisfying, no
pleasure or gain worth while. With peace lacking there is always unrest
in the soul, always an unsatisfied yearning no matter what else one
may possess.
Y ODAY, when the earth is wrapped in this beautiful mantle of peace,
Vywhen it is enfolding the world and binding men and women more
closely in a brotherhood of love and service, when its influence is filling
all hearts and leading them to ways of happiness, let each one of us pray
and hope that this beautiful spirit of peace shall endure long after the
Christmas time is past and gone.
