Show THE GOOD TIME COMING Christmas an Earnest of Better Day . When War and Devastation 1 Shall Cease. 1 . V. Christmas is an earnest of that better bet-ter day whon tho awful wasto of war, tho devastation of prevontable dlseasa and the burdons of poverty which e shame our overabundance shall dto out like somo evil dream of an Ignorant Igno-rant past. Then, Indeed, thero will bo no traco of mockery In the resounding re-sounding professions of good will; th poet's forecast will take form in thai realised state "wherein no lives art seen huddled In lanes unseen," but where a righteous plenty spreads Itself It-self far and wide: I "'Tis where the home is puro, Tls where the bread la aure, Tie where the wanta are fewer And each want red: Where plenty and peaco abide, Whero health dwells heavonly eye. t Where In nooks beautiful - ,v Slumber the dead."
