The time of year, which is supposed to be fraught with good cheer, is laden with pain. Instead of peace, there are ex- D(_`1`i(3nCL`d poignant pangs. mm which says so: in it mvnir-ism ]_)(.`1'i(3IlL'L'u puigmzut punig,-,.a. Nor is it cynicisni which says so; 3 the average man in the street will tell you the same. Neither is crabbed age sponso1' for the cmtchets of the time; unless, indeed, crabbed age begins in this hurried era when a man passes his majority. Nor is the tragic contrast between the cloud, which now for the fifth Christmas dnrkens Europe and the world, and the bright star of Beth- lehem the reason for the somber tone that sounds beneath the gay notes of the season, as the deep diupnson of the organ rolls beneath the rippling mel- ody.
