Not Peace—But Hope
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
aril toward men,”
Tliose words which the angels sang seem rather’strange
aft this Christmas season. We have no peace—there is no
on earth or ai£.or sea. Yet, thanks to Him who came to
in one of its darkest eras, we have the promise of
and a hope that will not die.
The stars gleam clearest on the darkest night and tht
hope of peace flames brightest in the blackest hour of war.
If QiyuR bad given us nothing but hope, he still would have
baaa divine, for hope sustains the soul. We knqw that some
dag the morning breeze will waft away the smoke of battle
•ad God’s sunshine will warm our hearts again. Someday we
wM smile through our tears and peace and love will re-
Ian once more.
