THE PRAYER CORNER' MAKING IT UP There seems one thought which, soumhow or other, we all hnv? on December 23th. It is. ? good old English custom (because it is a good old Christian custom) to make up quarrels, to set things straight, to smooth out roughness at Christ mas time. To make our Christmas Communion with a quarrel not made up is as little to be thought of as i not to make it at all. NVe cannot stay away. We cannot go as we are. Remedies are within reach. U ! is for each of us to use the remedy I the church offers to meet the case. However absurd it may seem to make* "a season" the reason for making up a quarrel, it is more ab j surd still to let it pass without so doing. "Peace on earth" is one of the 'meanings of the day. The thought is very beautifully embodied in a Christmas poem by an English clergyman. The opening and closing verses are specially suggestive: When man and spouse estranged have been, I A little child has come between. I The man beholds his image there, The mother owns the mother's care, And both are one In that dear son. When God and man estranged have been, The little Child hath come between; Both Son of God and Son of Man, Ordained by love's divinest plan. So peace is made ' And love displayed. Then joy we that the Holy Child Our hearts to God hath reconciled, So friend be reconciled to friend In Christmas greetings, quarrels end, Contentions cease And all be peace. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so at least we may know something of that heart felt gaiety that deep inner merriment wrapt up in the old English Christmas greet"1 ing. "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." ! So we keep the olden greeting i With its meaning deep and true, And wish a merrie Christmas And a happy New Year to you. A PRAYER FOR MAKING IT UP 0 Lord God, merciful and gra cious, - who hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us ac cording to our iniquities, help us to be forbearing to one another, and forgiving one another freely. As Christ freely forgave us, so we must forgive one another, especially at Christmas time, a time above all to make up quarrels, set things straight ?>nd smooth out roughness. So shall "Peace on earth," one of th? blessed meanings of that day be ours indeed an<T liT^truth; ? And we shall joy that the Holy Child our hearts to God hath reconciled. So shall friend be reconciled to frifnd, and Christmas greetings quarrels end, contentions shall cease, and all ba peace. Grant that this may be the prayer and wish of one and all, our Father. "May the peace of the starlit night, the joy of the angelic throng, the eager hope of the hastening shep herds, the light of the dawning day, the tender love of the Virgin Mother, the adoration of the wise men, pos sess our hearts." May we, by be stowing rather than receiving, for getting wrong, remembering kind ness, healing wounds, lifting bur Hens. cheering the cheerless, loving the loveless, cause the world to hear again the melody of the divine song that broke upon the Judean hills the first Christmas Eve: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, -rood will to men." And the praise and the glory shall be wholly Thine. Father. Son and Spirit, now and ever, Amen. C. D. C. Jftr IhmhIhI Tmntptrtmllum 7 CHEVROLET/ t r -f? r~ r.
