As Sorosis is to women, the Twilight club

Der ssfor this occasion only" Three
quarters Of the gentlemen present are
usually good takers, and when the
twilight dinner is over they make the
tables ring. Generally some specific
topic is thrown out In advance, and thi
is often suggested by the political situa-

handled without gloves and with
breezy freedom. All professions are rep

members come and sit down at the table

inrs was that which tried to answer. By

The book opens this month with a

Dec. 25th, in the Roman year 754, A.

World,) 1904, His birth preceding the
Common Era by 4 years, A. D., (Anno
Domini In the year of our Lord /.
Awake, o earth, your gladstone lay,
To Him whose birth vas Christmas Day !;
Let Joy and innocence abound,
And harmless mirth awake the sound,
When we have sung our grateful lay
To Him whose birth was Christmas Day.
The tree stands forth with tapers bright,
The children's eyes dance with delight,
To see the gifts it bears S free,
For each and every child you see.
There was a tree, o wondrous plan,
That bore Gods Christmas Gift to man
A gift from whence all gifts proceed,
Increasing with u every need.
And now that tree reflects the light
Of Him who is our beacon bright,
Its glory shines far in the gloom
To light to life a world of doom.
The Incarnation's Sacred glow
Beams with a warmth on all below,
With gladstone hearts we'll sing our lay
For Christ was born born on Christmas
Day.
But there are some who stand without
And slowly shake their heads and doubt:
The dates unknown, they blandly say,
Christ was not born on Christmas Day.
But it is proved on other hand,
By travellers in the Holy Land
While fields with us in white are seen,
The felds with them are clad in green.
In summer they are scorched and dried,
While herdsmen seek the mountain side.
In winter browsing focks abound,
Mid st shepherds seated on the ground.
Both Bingham and Chrysostom say,
With Seldom, I" 'Tis the very day."
While some will doubt we'll gladly sing,
The date is secure-let welkin ring
Let reverent worship lead the way
To Christ whose birth was Christmas
Day. ID.
