???Longfellow???s Christmas bells loudly proclaimed, ???God is not dead.??? Even more, the bells announced, ???Nor doth He sleep.??? God???s Truth, Power, and Justice are affirmed, when Longfellow wrote: ???The wrong shall fail, the right prevail.??? The message that the Living God is a God of Peace is proclaimed in the close of the carol: ???Of peace on Earth, good will to men.'???
