glad tidings of the birth of Jesus were proclaimed by angels to the shepherds, but they could scarcely have realized the tremendous import to humanity of that quiet and unobtrusive appearing.

"The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised".
In
the spring how joyous it is to see the unfolding beauty of buds and blossoms and the promise of flowering fields! Tender leaflets adorn the trees, and freshets of water, released from the rigid grasp of cold, tumble gaily over the rocks.
