the navy depends, and this holiday warn

shone down upon green palms, long stretches
OF white sand and curling line of rollers

blocks and tackle can be heard above the
bowling wind and the crash of waves that
smite the cruisers side with a force that

she still carries too much sail; and the
boatswain's whistle is heard again with the
order: ''A-alI hands shorten sail" On

MY MORNING STAR AT CHRISTMAS

Written for THE MORNING CALL
5T~ HERE is star In vault of heaven
That shines and smiles DER land and sea
N So clear and tranquil ever beamlng,
And well know it shines for me,
Tho all the world may see its brightness.
Tho IL be set among the spheres
To ever sing In endless rhythm
The harmonies OF countless years. -
When this our globe but spun in atoms
Around the central burning sun,
Fall wcIl know my star was lending
Its rays to light the course begun;
So when from Chaos forth came Nature,
And Natures fairest child, the Earth,
My star still shone thro' thousand ages
And watched the generations birth
Tho other spheres have shot from heaven,
With fires extinct. TO depths OF night,
And newer worlds have erewhile risen.
And wandering anets come to light,
My star, unchanged, still sends its cleaning.
And shines and smiles when at first
With hosts supernai beamed its welcome
When this young Ear tn, an orb, outburst.
Tho myriad cycles have swept DER ii,
Tho old the song Creation sung,
Prom out its path, unchanged, unehanging,
1t shines and smiles as ever young
O, Star of Morning! now down-Iooking
On one SO lowly meath thy ray,
Two thousand years ago thy bea ming
AS worship fell Ger him VINO lay
Within the manger, newly breathing
This mortal air OF earthly chill,
The Babe whose age had no beginning.
Who was when thou vert nothing still
Now soon again the day is coming.
The blessed day when He was born,
And thou wilt still be shining, smiling,
My Star OF Peace, my Star of Morni
And now I see thee in the heavens
And know thee set beneath His feet
Yet still love to deem, while musing,
Thou art my star. my guardian SWEET
o, give me strength from thy strong nAture.
o, give me calm from thy calm ray,
And thus serene o, lead me upward,
My star that shines for me Away.
