A Yuletide Treasury Of Poems Carols And Songs PDF Download

Excerpt from The Christmas Treasury of Song and Verse As once again this season of good-will and good-cheer comes round, let us leave, for a time at least, the turning of the wheels of chance. Let us permit the finer qualities in our humanity to have their play. It is not too late to be young and of the happy people. It is the time for rejoicing and thanksgiving. But, indeed, we shall not be able to help our selves. A spiritual fact is more stable and more magnetic than the everlasting hills. It will have its way. And there are few more compelling forces than the thoughts which have been enshrined in a great event. The holy day is a holiday indeed; for love itself is at play. As the midnight chimes peal forth the advent of Christmas a very host of invisible forces rise up and bear 'us on. The ghosts of thousands of Christmases past pass before us with ap pealing benedictions. Our minds become chambers haunted with beneficent presences.
