But It is different from those our geographies name under Political Divisions. It is a monarchy ruled by love, where desire to give hap-plness Is the prevalent ambition. So, on that night before Christmas, as the snowflakeB danced about in great billowy clouds, some them thought of companions already fallen to earth.

This is the night before the birthday of our King. Millions will worship Him when the morrow comes, but more, ignorant of Its source, will seek to revel In the gladness which His coming brought and many millions more he went on. The nations of the world wait for that gladness. Once a year they seek to know the spirit and the significance of the Christmas time.
