It rises ahove the clatter and roar of the city; it throbs through the scattered town and hamlet; it sings through the sunlit islands of the South;, it permeates the frozen wastes of the Northland. In ever-wideni- ng volume its strains echo around the world. Before its magic the hosts of darkness take flight. It touches the slumbering chords of memory; it heals old hurts and scars; it hinds loved ones in a closer and deeper tie. There are no friendless or forsaken within its sound; under its influence the strong reach out to help the weak. Peace and Love and Joy, these are its loudest the Song of notes, and they are for all men. For Christmas is the greatest of all songs because it is understood rH li by every heart. e Wttxm NO. u |
