Hymn to the NatiUity.. -. John Milton

1t was the winter wild,
While the Heaven born child
All meanly wrapt, in the rude manger
lies.
Nature in awe to him,
Had dofft her gaudy trim,
With her great master so to sympathize
No war or battle 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,
Lord was by.
But peaceful was the night
In which the Prince of Light
His reign of peace upon the earth began;
The winds with wonder whist,
Smoothly the waters kissed,
whispering new joys to the mild ocean,
Who now hath quite forgot to rave
While the birds Of calm sit brooding on
the charmed wave.
But see, the Virgin blest
Hath laid her Babe to rest,
Time is our tedious song should here have
ending;
Heav'n's youngest teemed star
Hath fixed the polished car,
Her sleeping Lord with handmade lamp
attending,
And all about the courtly stable
Bright harnessed angels sit in order SER
viceable.
The Nativity ..............Sh Shakespeare
Some say, that ever 'gainst that season
comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated ::
The bird of dawning singeth all night
long;
And then they say no spirit dares stir
abroad;
The nights are wholesome then no planets
strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to
charm,
So hallowed and so gracious is the time.
Father Christmas - Norman Gale
Perchance you cannot see his face
That beams with such jolly grace
Perchance you miss the bursting pack
OF joy and frolic on his back.

poetic, and religious beauty rarely found
in all pictorial art.
Botticelli's treatment of child life is
almost wholly on the religious side,
while Correggio (1494?-1534) famous for
his rich, warm color and robust forms
paints child life with more terrestrial
flavor. His expression is sweet and low

anguish for erring humanity. Correg-
gio's babe is happy, and cheered by the
wealth of love bestowed on him by the
fond mother. The latter we find in any
happy home, but the former typifes the

The thickly- woven boughs they wreathe
Through every hallowed fame
A soft, reviving odor breathe
OF summers gentle reign;
And rich the ray of mild green light
Which, like an emerald's glow,
Comes struggling through the latticed
height
Upon the crowds below.

Which in those temples rise,
From deeper sources spring than aught
Dependent ON the skies
Then, though the summers pride departs.

with Pestalozzi. In his wife's
