many years would paas before the.
Saviour should come, and that his
mission would lie to give light. in
giving light he gves lfe also. "In
him was life, and the Jlfe was the.
light of men " "And Jesus said un

beams upon t lie town of liethlehem,
the place of the Suvtour's birth. It

Bethlehem, Is larger, blighter, and.
more glorious than the others". Thus,
our Saviour, the Son of Uod. shinesl
In the beauty of his righteousness.
Ha Is holy and desires us to be llk
him. Above the star Is an angel,
gazing with rapture upon the village
where the hope of a fallen world,
lies. The three wise men upon,
"ships of the desert'" behold th
beautiful scene of the illumined vil
lage. Perhaps they are speaking of
worshipping the Christ-child, and,
laying at his feet their gfts of gold.
star precedes the dawning of the
ds, so the Joy of being a member
of Christ" kingdom on earth Is only
a foretaste of the pleasure that,
awaits us in heaven. In the next
verse of Scripture, Rev. 22:17, we.
are given an Invitation as follows:
"And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come. And let him that heareth
any, Come. And let him that is a
thirst come. And whosoever will,
let him take of the water of life
freely '" lt ua worship at His feet,
and say, "Shine on, thou Star of
glory, thou Christ enthroned above"
For to us thou hast given a promise
of atrength. Phil. 4:13; of victory. II
Tim. 2:12; of life, John 10:10, 11 :fi,
and of heavenly mansions, John 14:,

and thanksgiving, and honor, and
power, and might, be unto our Q4M
forever and ever."
Shine, Thou Beautiful Star Benign1
"Shine, thou beautiful star benign.
Over the world of night;
Shine till under those beams of thine
Darkness shall take its flight:
Till all the world shall know her
King,
Till all the world with Christmas
ring.
Till every heart with rapture sing.
And every Bpot be bright.
Shine, thou beautiful star of pence.
Over a world of strife.
Shine, till hatred and greed shall
cease
'And war no more be rife,
Till all from near or far away
Shall help to speed the happy day
When men the law of love obey.
And kindness rules all life.
Shine, thou beautiful star of Joy,
Over a world of fear.
Shine till shadowH no more annoy,
And faith shines bright and clear:
Till all shall sing on Christ inns mm n
The Btory of the baby born
To lighten every heart forlorn,
And wipe away each tear."
