? THE PRICE OF PEACE AND GOODWILL. BY W. GLANDWR MORGAN. 11 Peace and Goodwill to men sang herald angels under the Syrian skies centuries ago. The Prince of Peace was ushered into the realm of man amid the tenderest solicitudes of the na- tural world-oxen and sheep would minister to Him in His manger cradle-the purest of mothers watched o'r her precious gift, while wise men and simple shepherds bowed in ad oration as they beheld the God heralded Babe. Born to save man-to reveal the God-Will to men—to shed the light of divine love into the darkness of human hatred. Yet this Peace-heralded Prince Babe, stirred the evil riven Herod who stained his soul with the blood of the" Innocents Peace, Prince of Peace, angel heralded blood bought Peace. In strong obedience to His parents He toiled amid the drudgery of life, and as the effulgence of Light possessed Him to the mystic, recluse Baptist said: "God herald of the Kingdom—the rites of thy rude ministry extend to me and at the baptism came the Dove of Peace to seal His goodwill mission. In the brief three years of His ministry, He awoke the dormant spirit of His nation to its divinely appointed work. His shadow healed the people-a New Hope burst out of Israel's smouldering embers. The Prince of Peace rode in tfrand triumph on an ass's colt to 'a P' G d 'II the Holy City, 9,"d to men, God peace was purchased by the shedding of His hearts' blood. The angel message still ring's through the ages and the Christ brings God-will to men and God peace, The twentieth century wades in blood. Our brave fathers and sons their life blood shed. Why ? Is it the Christ in His people seeking the peace and the goodwill of men ? The anti- Christ of militarism would trample the little ones of God in the mire of its steel lust ambi- tion. And at this Yule tide the murdered Innocents" of Bel- gium yea and our own coun- try cry to Heaven for redress. The struggle is fearful and long, but the Host of God- Mahanaim is with the Right. Truth must be vindicated. Victory will crown the brow of Ireace, and lead her in triumph to her Temple at the Hague.
