On Christmas night the stars will still shine forth their silent yet eloquent message. It will not matter where we are; whether at home in the city; on the lonely little ranch or farm on the Northâ€" ern _ wastes or the Southern crowded loneliness; on the stormâ€" tossed ocean with its wayfarers; in the mining camps or the minâ€" ing settlements, the same bright stars shine forth. Yes, and they also shine on those rows of little white crosses in France, Belgium, Egypt, Africa, Korea, etc., where lie the flower of our Empire and they also do not forget those restâ€" ingâ€"places that none but God. knows the whereabouts of. They will continue to shine and beâ€" speak their song of peace on earth, goodâ€"will to men, no matâ€" ter how we celebrate Christmas and although the light of peace may to us seem to be obscured for a little while yet behind the dark clouds, they will shine still more brightly until the Morning Star Himself brings forth the Spirit of Christmas for evermore in the hearts of all men every-l where.

Wheâ€" ther we celebrate with ageâ€"old customs or not, might we not this year more than ever before reâ€" solve to make it a less selfish celeâ€" bration and thus in our small way do our part to bring to reality the true Christmas message of "Peace on egrth, goodâ€"will to all men." the true meaning of Christmas. Away out on the snowâ€"covered prairies, or on the iceâ€"bound norâ€" thern lakes may be a Mountie on duty from his barracks. It may be Christmas Day but he hears no sound of happy Christmas carols only the sharp bark of a fox or the distant howl of the wolves or the snapping of an icy branch which rings out like a pistolâ€"shot in the knifeâ€"clean air. But as he thinks of his home amid the siâ€" lence and the stars â€" the same stars which looked down on the world when the Christâ€"child came â€"do we realize how often such a silence is the speech of God?
