o men of good-will."

This means that people who have good-will in their hearts toward other
people will have peace on earth. And how very true that is! People
generally act toward us the same way in which we act toward them. If we
are cross, others are cross; but if we are warmhearted and loving, then
people are warmhearted toward us. It is just like seeing your face in a
looking-glass. If you frown, the face in the mirror will frown. If your
face is smiling, the one in the mirror will be smiling. That is another
way of saying that you get what you give.

Christ came into the world to teach us how to have good-will to men, and
from our good-will to get happiness. Any boy or girl who faithfully
tries to be like Christ, and to do as he believes Jesus would do if He
were in his place, will grow to have this good-will in his heart. Then
some day he will sing as the angels did, "Glory to God in the highest,"
for he will know God's peace. Christ said, "Blessed are the
peace-makers."

Here is a verse for you to take as a motto:

"Where are you going? Never mind.
Just follow the road that says, 'Be kind,'
And do the duty that nearest you lies,
For that is the road to Paradise."

A HINT FROM A CARIBOU

This is an animal-story. It is about a caribou. A caribou is a kind of
reindeer, and lives in Canada.

One day a man was out in a stumpy pasture-field beside a woods in
Canada, and he saw a mother caribou and her little calf feeding quietly
down in a valley nearby.

He was on a little hill some distance away, but the wind was blowing in
the direction of the caribou. Presently the mother caribou raised her
head, sniffed the air, and looked in the direction where the man was
hidden behind a stump. She had caught the scent of a human being. That
meant danger to her calf. Soon the mother caribou, leaving her calf in
the valley, started in the direction of the man. He slipped from his
hiding-place to another stump. On came the caribou till she reached the
very stump behind which the man had first hidden. There she smelled the
ground, and then a strange thing happened. She called her calf to her,
had it smell the ground, too, so as to get the scent of the man. When
that was done, she got behind that little caribou and butted it down the
valley as fast as it could go. Why did she do that? It was to teach her
calf that whenever it got that scent on the air, there was danger, and
it must get away as quickly as possible.
