those of Bethlehem , ^ rho out of dftrkne * s hailed a light that heralded the coining " Glot * y to Odd in the highest , and peace on earth and goou-will amongst men . " We tvere with the unearthly child in its In id night wandering , ilestled closely to the "bosom of its mother ; we listened with her to the night breezes , lest they should whisper a tale of pursuit ; we looked upward to the stars to be their silent yet unerring guide to their haven , Egypt . —And he whom * he hud guarded so tenderly
—who was himself to be the guard , the guide , the "lamp unto our feet , the light unto our path / ' however broken arid desolate the wilderness , however dark the niglit ^—we were with him in his lonely wanderings amongst the Judean mountains , or on the shores of the Sea of Galilee , when he retired apart to commune with his own heart , to be with the Father of his spirit in secret , to muse on the wofkings of the mighty plan which he had formed for the regeneration of mankind , to gather strength and calmness for the work which he had to do , in
the stillness and beauty of the night . We were with him when that work was finished — when the spirit was rendered " unto God who gave it . " But though darkness wrapped Calvary in gloom , he had "brought life and immortality to light " throughout the earth . Again was the love of him invoked for blessings on the departing crowd . They had been subdued by the service , and went their way slowly and silently . As we
watched their figures gliding along the aisles , they seemed spiritualized by what they had heard , and looked like the shadows of the bodies that had entered . We lingered—lingered till warned away ; one more look in which the thought of the bugle , and the many associations it had awakened , was magically minified . Never since has the recollection of one come without the other—they are linked for ever in our memory ; and
when dwelling on that one day ' s delight , never do we forget to beg that blessing for others that we ourselves enjoyed through the ugency of York Minuter and its forest bugle . S . Y .
