There's star IN the sky
There's mothers deep prayer
Aud q baby's low eyl
And the star raiAs It's arewhile the beauli

For the manger Of Bethlehem cradles

There's tumult ofjoy
Der the wonderful birth,
For the virgins sweet boy

Has swept oyer the world,
Every hearth Is ahame, and tho beautiful

That comes down through tho night
From the heavenly throng,
Aye We shout TO the lovely eyangel they

Aud we greet IN his cradle our Saviour and

Potatoes are shipped to this country
from Ireland and are sold at lower
rates than the American product. One
day last week 800 bags of them reach
ed port on the White Star Steamer
Celtic. Thirty tons were shipped on
the Wisconsin and about fifty tons are
on their way on the Britanic, and more
expected on the Adriatic. The greater
part of these potatoes come from the
northern part of Ireland. Hitherto the
potato has more frequently travelled
from American ports to Ireland, and
one dealer said: Given the potatoes in
Ireland cannot live under British rule,
but must fly to a land of liberty"

INTO A DESERT PLACE.

She thought it was desert place in
decd. Means of support were limited
she was helpless invalid, sitting in
her chair from morning until evening,
her once busy hands utterly useless now.
The baby boy, light of the heart and
home. had been carried from her sight
and laid by her sisters side under the
sod. The other darling child was miles
away with distant friends. The hus-
band, whose presence would have given
strength. was of necessity engaged in
pressing duties and bearing heavy bur-
dens. The song had gone out of her
life. the roses had faded to ashes, it
seemed desert place indeed. Turning
one day with the poor disabled fingers
the leaves of her Bible. her eyes rested
upon these words, "Come ye yourselves
into desert place apart, and rest
awhile" She read no more; new
thought flashed in the light of the Spir-
it to her mind. A desert place; yes,
but Jesus says ''Come THEN he goes
with me. He say Us "Come yourselves .
then l must come here willingly. Lift
ing her eyes to heaven she prayed,
lord, give me grace to come where
thou callest willingly; open my eyes to
see thee with me here; open my ears to
hear all thou hast to say to me in this
place apart from the world" From
that hour how blessed became that seem
ingly desert spot No rosy path, no
busy scene, no joyous companionship she
had ever known, had yielded anything
that could compare with the delights of
this sweet seclusion with the Lord.
There she heard as never before the
precious things he has to say to his be-
: loved; such hidden depths she sounded
in his word; such undertones Of melody
charmed her in his promises such deep
j l
sweet draughts she took of living water;
such satisfied soul she had; such a
close acquaintance with Jesus she found
1t looked like desert place still to hel
friends, but to her it was the fairest O.
gardens. She tarried in it for many
months, till he who led her there said
'Come out now into the busy world :
and when she came, 1t was with bette
knowledge of her weak self and stronI
Saviour, and better fitted for unselfs
service because of those days of restin
! : ''apart" with the Lord. Dear friend
does it seem that you are in a desel
place? Find Jesus there, and the sol
. tary place shall sing for joy, and th
wilderness shall blossom as the rose
