The glowing- song was caught on high by the glittering host that thronged the mighty throne of God, and echoed throughout the gilded courts above : ‘On earth peace, good will toward men.’ Jehovah looked on with an approving smile to see the work of salvation begin ! Heaven trembled with excess of delight as it beheld the birth of Him, who was to heave the mountain of sin tiiat was pressing a world into hell! Man, guilty man, alone was indifferent! Oh ! what hallowed emotions crowd upon the Christian warrior as he contemplates the ineffable, the boundless, the almighty love that gave ns Jesus.

Time’s ceaseless wheels are rolling on with their accustomed swiftness and will, erelong uslierin upon us the far-famed day, clirist- mas. This da\-, the twontv’-fifth of December, is supposed to bo the birth-day of our blessed Sa vior ; and the glorious event it witnessed is celebrated by those who acknowledge the divinity of Christ, and bear stamped upon our hearts the handwriting of the Holy Spirit, as the grandest reeor- ded in the world’s historvn Up on that day the dim tv-pos and figures of tlie Old Testament w-cre verified and the hoary prophesies were fulfilled ; the faint rays of ehristianitj' that glimiiiorcd in the horizon, were kindled in the blaze of glory, which will throw its ro- splciidont light far down the track 'of future ages and gild the rug ged path of man’s earthly jiil- grimage; a grand impetus was given to the slowly moving car of religion, and it is now rushing onward with accelerated speed, bearing its inestimable freight of immortal souls to the New Jeru Salem. The infant Messiah breathed ! the Son incarnate, the Holy One of God, the Savior of the world was among us ! A beautiful star stood sentinel over the lovely babe ! Heaven’s gates flew wide and aconvov- ol bright angels descended upon flaming the support of the institution ; but will not assume any additional pecuniary responsibiitv*. 3. That this Grand Lodge elect a Superintendent who shall control tlio institution and solicit con- tribiitions for its support from all classes of our people. 4.
