Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
The sweet chimes of thought are ushering in the Christ. Streams of light gleam from the four corners of the earth, all centring in the very zenith of Christian Science. The dome of Heaven resounds with the chorus of angelic voices, chanting throughout immeasurable space the divine salutation of joy, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men;" while borne on the zephyrs of Love comes the prophetic message: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulders; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."
What a word is this! Catching a gleam of this wonderful light, which now heralds the promised millennial day, the world is awakening slowly. It turns from its bed of ease, error, and wonders if it really is time to arise, wash in the Siloam of Truth, and put on its wedding-garment.
