"And what do you count on!" was asked

"Oh, have list in my mind. Let's see!
There will be five pairs of slippers, four
canes, two hats, three pairs of gloves, ten
different notices of "Feed My Lambs" a

The third clergyman smiled in sad way
and mournfully replied:
"Put me down Tor twenty-five dressing
gowns, twenty-four pairs of slippers and
thirteen pen-wipers."
"But you must get an ink-stand, or q shoe
box, or q motto"
"No, it will be exactly what tell YOU

"PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD
WILL TG MEN,

In ifs gladnezs the EAGLE greets every
reader this morning with a .'merry Christ
mas" We welcome the ever rounding time
that bids us veil our growings-old with this
glad anniversary. We read once more the
brief but priceless story Of the star, the
manager and the babe, and happy thoughts
carry us away 10 the hills and valleys whose
echoes were awakened one bright morning
in the long ago by the sweet music of that
angelic band who sang the praises Of Him
whose light has lifted our humanity TO life
that lays hold of the eternal and grasps the
immortal; back TO the wales aad streams Of
Judea and to the feet Of Him who wandered
along their quiet margins or Y TO bless. The
pures. imagery of all time clusters about
these scenes and events. That child and
mother have been the inspiration Of the
sweetest songs ever written or suug, and has
lent the brightest touches TO the grandest
pictures ever conceived. Then, dear readers
all, with us, this blessed morning, unite in
making more joyful not only your own lives
but the lives of those all shout you in MEM
DRY Of the birth Of that God-enshrined child
who grew up to a life of continual sacrifices
only that others might be made happy.
The shepards are all long since gone, that
star las faded from the armament, and the
song which poured forth from the pure
threats Of that celestial throng and vibrated
for brief eestatlc moment on the sacred
air of honored Bethlehem has rolled in
rhythmetic waves away to the confines of
the measureless universe, but the echo of
its strains still falls upon hearts to soften
and TO purify, while the hopes and inspira-
tons of worlds humanity continues to re-
volve around that manger-cradle and its
holy occupant whose divine glory is for the
illumination of the ages.
As this day is celebrated in memory of
Heavens priceless boon to dispairing man,
Sc the day has become one for the giving OF
gifts. Sorrowiul must be the lot of that
one who fails TO find il in his
heart to make an unselfish offering
on .his day Of days, some interchange of az
fect,on's token. Christmas day comes en-
shrined in the spirit of Bethiehem's Child,
and the fundamental principles of the chris
ton religion are smpliiied in, by, and
through its unseliish gifts.
Thus in the darkness Of our sojourn upon
earth. as some one mas said, when over all
hangs the many-folding curtain of mystery.
out in the still air of December come notes
ofthe Palestine GLORIA sung by the shep-
erds first and taken up then by other voices
in other illness and upon other hills, and
suddenly we all feel that the magnificent
human race is all at peace, and is being
borne onward to some day of days, some IA
dent morning fun of the love of Christ, full
of the glory of man, full OF the long hidden
presence of God

For the EAGLE
Girls MAS.

Merrily the bells ring out,
Gleefully the children shout,
Snow flakes whirling thro' the air
Fell on youths and maidens fair,
As they gaily sped their ways
Warmly robbed in coy sleighs.
What care they for winters cold,
Snow so dazzling, wind so bold.
They are in youths happy prime,
Needing naught but Christmas time
Pressing close 10 the cup of joy,
Dreaming not of its alloy.
All too soon may come the time
When the merry Christmas chime
Falls unheeding on the ear
Now so quick its tones to hear.
Let the children then be gay,
Youths and rnaidens have their way,
While the bright days linger here,
Gladdest, merriest of the year.
Let them hear 10 doleful signs,
Or see the mists that dim your even
As we think of ''long ago"
When we, too, loved cold and snow.
Rather, let US join their play,
For the time fling care away.
