FOR unto you this day is born Sa-
viour."
The message comes as clear and true,
AS on that far-off dreary night,
When angel-choirs with sweetest song
Burst ON the shepherds wond'ring sight,
He comes, the royal Prince of Peace,
To every heart and home to-day;
Shall He be but a transient guest?
Or, warmly welcomed, ever stay?
0 little ones, your happiness
Is His! He smiles upon your mirth,
For He has been little Child
Has known childhood here on earth,
You feel Him in the father-care
That guides your tender little feet;
You see Him in the love-lit eyes
That shine from mother-faces sweet.
o young hearts full Of purest bliss,
Remember Him whose name is Love,
For He can make the dear new home
A foretaste OF the Home above!
Within your hearts 0 grant Him room
And yield TO His all-gentle sway,
For He who graced a marriage feast
Rejoices in your JOY, to-day. .
O YOU who sit by lonely nres
And feel NO friends and kindred near,
Or wander on like straying lambs
Through wilderncsses dark and dear,
He, too was lonely! Dearest friends
Forsook Him in His hour Of woe;
Misunderstood and scorned was He;
He feels for you. Does He not know ?
..e is your Brother! close at hand,
So wise, so tender, strong and true;
He is your Shepherd! He will guide
Your footsteps ali the journey through.
O you who know the sting Of sin,
And feel temptations keenest dart, a
Who struggle meath heavy load
That presses death-like on the heart
He is your Saviour! He who bore
The sins OF all up Calyary's way,
Stands with entreating hands out-stretch
To lift your burden on this day.
O you who know the bitterness
OF ranking wounds, and cruel pain,
Forgive, and you shall be forgiven,
And life shall smile for you again!
Make haste to love, make no delay,
@ leave no tender word unsaid!
Wait not, lest it should prove too late;
The golden chance will soon have fled.
He is your Peace, and He will give
You strength to brayely do your part;
The holy Christmas-tide should bring
Goodwill and peace to every heart.
0 you, who sorrowing, view the place
From which the well-beloved has flown,
He is your sympathizing Friend
Who heeds each broken sigh and moan!
No tenderer solace for this woe
Within the sacred word is kept,
No sweeter thing was said of Him
Than that all-thrilling Jesus weptv'
He wept! the King, the Lord of Death,
SO soon to break its mighty thrall;
he touched the depths Of human grief,
He knows. He feels. He shares it all!
The Holy Child, the Lover true,
The Friend, the Brother, Shepherd
Guide,
T.-4 Saviour, Prince of Peace, and King
Is born to us, this Christmas-tide!

MARC HAS FUN ON A TRAIN

Marc the magician, whose personality

young stock broker than il is of second
cousin TO his Satanic majesty" as one OF
his admirers has styled him, had curl
Gus experience on a train in Nebraska
one day this fall A nice looking old lady
sal in one Of the seats OF day coach
with a basket OF eggs beside her. In
passing through the car Marc saw a
chance for a little harmless fun. Lift
ing his hat, he asked il the eggs were
for sale, and il she would sell him a sin
gle one She declined to sell, but said
she would give him one. He thanked
her, took the egg, and placing It to his
Ear, said he thought he heard something
Inside. She declared that impossible, as
The eggs were strictly fresh. Marc tapped
the shell with the end OF his pocket knife
and as il cracked open a perky young
eanary ruffled its feathers and gave a
cheerful peep of freedom. And with the
bulging eyes OF the Startled passenger
fixed upon him he tossed the tiny crea-
ture into the air, where ii completely van
ished. Then, turning to Iong-bearded
man who had been an open-mouthed
spectator OF the incident, he defly ex-
tracted an egg from his luxuriant whis-
kers and passedeit back to the old lady.
She refused to touch 1t, however, and
squeezed up against the window to get
as far away as possible from the uncan-
ny man. II was an hour before she was
able to appreciate that the whole affair
was only clever bit of necromancy.

fering from want OF food"
Mr.. Kastner went into the Klondike
country to examine the old diggings
with a view to re-working them He
found that tire drifts filled with water
and were soon transformed into solid
beds OF ice, making re-working at pres
ent inpracticable. but he states that
fully one third OF the gold is lost by the
method employed in mining in the Klon-
dixie district. He estimates that the
amount OF gold that was taken out OF
the district this winter will be between
81, ,OOO, 900 ar6 s2.OOO,0OO. Ten millions
could easily be taken out but for the
scarcity OF light. Candles and coal oil
are extremely scarce and some miners
are trying TO work their claims in com
plete darkness.
