Let the Christ Spirit Come,

1t is far cry to the palms of Bethlehem
and Nazareth from our rugged north and
yet the snowy Christmas is the best loved
of all, when the chimes of church bells
come over the sheeted snow and the tall
pines and spruces and hemlocks wear their
ermine right proudly, when the brook is
frozen amid its stones and the ferns are
like gemmed plumes as they bend above it,
and the ice spikes cling like shattered crys-
tai to the riverside, and timid, furry things
print leaf patterns with shy feet on earth's
sensitive blanket. Thoreau said that a
snowflake and dewdrop are products of
enthusiasm. Frost work and frozen dews
are the product of inspiration. With this
magic the world is decked for the great
festival. 1t was amid semi-tropical verdi
ure that Christ was born, but our northern
fancy makes the white purity of our winter
his fitting emblem. He may come upon
the grading winds of the severest storm;
and there is a great light and a great
warmth, and mems faces catch the glow
and the reflection of that presence. 1t is
as if the world had Powered in January,
and one could gather roses from frozen
stems. 1t is love coming on the blast,
wrapped in the sheeted storm,-love stop
ping at every mans door, and hanging
there the evergreen emblem of eternal life
Let us take in love out of the cold blast,
and cherish it until Christ-like gentleness
fills the being. For one day let the heart
be soft and merciful, let all the judgments
be touched with charity. Let us seek to
believe that God has delivered message
of reconciliation to the race,-that the
breath of a universal spirit of goodness,
pity and peace is upon our forehead. How
warm the frozen world looks under the up
lifting thought that with the expansion of
the Christ-life, the better understanding of
his mission and aim in times to come, the
Christmas spirit may endure, and not be
passing phase of experience, the Christ
mas world not a dream or vision, but
reality Then will come the real millen-
nium. Even those who go with bowed
| heads and heavy hearts to new made graves
can, if they listen well, hear the heavenly
chimes, and perchance the voices of dear
ones singing the old songs. For even
graves, in the Christmas vision, are like
the tomb of the risen Christ in old pictures
filed with lilies and roses.

The Tree of Life.

In his Mothers sacred eyes,
Lit from Gods own altar-place.
Earth grows Heaven, and gray time dies
In this Infants smiling face.
From the shroud of withered years
Love and hope come young again.
And the heart awakened hears
Songs that make the life Of men.
Children's lightsome laughter rings,
Dull, waste places hear their tread,
And the CLEAN Of gracious wings
Lights old chambers Of the dead.
All bright shapes Of memory.
All glad dreams of youth and love.
Meet about the Christmas Tree.
Underneath the mystic dove.
Time and fate are babbling words.
Vain vibrations Of the tongue.
Since the song Gods singing birds
Ger the babe of bethlehem sung.
Child of death that was TO be,
Child OF love and life with men.
Round the holy Christmas Tree
Make us children, too, again:
Eyes that are loves deathless shrine
Where our hottest prayers arise,
Blest and blessing, dear, divine
Little children's happy eyes;
In your light the dark eyes change.
From your light all foul things flee,
And all sweet hopes soar and range
Round the Christ Child's Christmas Tree.

A OhrIstmas Card.

Dead are the asters by the roadside drear;
The days are Short the winters SHOWS are here;
Beside the Christmas hearth my thoughts still
stray
To memories It the summer passed away.
When, wandering Slong some rocky shore,
We heard each other thoughts, as ne'er before;
Or sailing DER the ocean, sparkling blue,
We saw old scenes with eyes mat made them
new.
When, stretched at length on some soft grassy
bed
We heard the birds sing in the boughs o'erhead
And when the blood-red sun was dropping low,
Through the salt meadows took our evening row
Gone are the days of summer. long and fair
Dark are the evenings now, and chill the air,
As from my flreside unto thine send
A Christmas greeting from a summers friend.

In santa Clans Land.

Then they went to the Land Of Cakes,
The Ice Cream land where the Jelly tree shakes
Where Blanc Mango rocks are white and cold,
And crystallized jujubes shine like gold,
Like yellow gold In a sunset bright,
Like sovereigns new In a glorious light;
Where the Plum Cake mountains rise 80 grand,
Overlooking the plains Of the Biscuit Land;
Where the trees are ripe with lemon drops,
And sugary snow still crowns their tops,
And sugar snow is down below,
And the children play on the Almond Rocks,
While the elves prepare big toy box,
To take away as a Christmas treat
OF toys and every sort Of sweet,
Piled up to the brim with toys;
Dolls for the girls and tops for the boys,
With heigh heave hoi
The ropes they tug,
And over the plains the box they lug,
And the children, dressed in gloves and muff
Kick about In the sticky stuff,
I'LL they helped out by Puck and his elves,
They're quite unable to help themselves.
And the toys are stacked,
And the box is packed;
Sweets, and tops, and dolls for ALL
Not a single one let fall
Slowed away with art 30 rare,
Labelled This side up with care"
Then In q great big wagon placed
Firmly, solidly encased,
on they're sent by fairy train,
Never to return again.

lis is the month, and this the happy morn

This is the month, and this the happy morn
Wherein the Son Of Heavens eternal King,
OF welded maid and virgin mother born,
Our great redemption from above did bring;
For so the holy sages once did sing,
That our deadly forfeit should release,
And with His Father work us perpetual peace,
No war or battles sound
Was heard the world around
The idle spear and shield were high up hung,
The hooked chariot stood
Unstained with hostile blood,
The trumpet spake not to the armed throng,
And kings sat still with awful eye,
AS II they surely knew their sovereign Lord was by

the hours away,
Ye gentle hearts that better love in sheltered
homes to pray,
Think on the homes whose Christmas guests are
only want and care,
Think on the hearts too sad for mlrth, too sad
perchance for prayer.
OH sad and short the wintry days; OH sad and
long the night,
When in the heart there is no hope, and in the
house no light;
No fire, no food yet goodly gifts, yet words Of
Christian cheer.
Can make the grave seem farther off-can make
the heavens more near.
