SCENE OF THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE SHEPHERDS TO BEHOLD A TEMPLE RISE; COLUMBIA BELL WANTED FOR THE DEDICATION.
New York, March 21. The Columbian Liberty and Peace Bell is wanted in the Holy Land on Christmas Eve, 1899. A request for its presence has been extended by the committee in charge of the celebration of the closing of the nineteenth century and the commencement of the twentieth century of the Christian era. The celebration is to be held at the very spot where the shepherds received the angel's message that is cast in the bronze of the bell Glory to: "God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." At the same moment the corner stone is to be laid of a great temple to be erected in the Holy Land in honor of Christ.
True worth is in being, not seeming,
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
