There's light of love today
Falling on the worlds highway,
Lit of song, and flow OF mirth.
Glow of Star, and thrill OF Birth,
Just as when TO Bethlehem Town
Came the holy thrist-child down,
And DER wars and tumults wild
Rose the Kingdom Of the Child.
Throng Of angels in the sky,
Wondrous music floating nigh,
Cherubin and seraphlm
Teaching earth its Christmas hymn.
Simple shepherds hushed to near;
Eastern sages drawing near;
Rosy clouds Of dawning piled
Round the chariot of the Child.
Ger the manger stood the Star
Slipped from heaven through gates ajar;
Lowly ON couch of hay
lay the God who took our clay.
Hrooded by sweet breath OF kline,
Small and fair and all-Divine-
Little lovely child to be
King DER earth's great family,
Thus, in Thee, the undetiled,
Dawned the long rule of the Child.
There Mother Maiden pale
AS snowdrop. white and frail,
In her eyes such sacred thought
AS lIltb y Angel ram nuu Wrought,
Bent above her Infant sweet.
Kissed the dimples of His feet.
In that place, serene and mild,
Born the Kingdom of the Child.
Wide and large that Kingdom spreads,
Wheresoeyer golden heads
Cluster round kriss Krngle's tree,
Grave with awe and mystery.
Still. Gods Angels find the way
To our earth on Christmas Day;
Still the seeker and the sought
Each to each are safely brought,
And-a truce to passions wild w."
Here's the Kingdom of the Child.
Tiny, crumpled baby's hand.
Strong to lead us and command.
Lady, Mother. full of grace.
Queen and GRADER of the race,
Cherubim and seraphim
Fill your cup and sing your hymn,
GLORIA in Exceisis p Hear
How it echoes, far and near,
Peace ON earth, goodwill 10 menl'

Unto lowly Bethlehem Town
Came the blessed Christ child down,
And DER wars and tumults wild

1t was to be one Of the social events of

man. Nonsense. I've heard my grand
father tell all about him many a time. Sir
John was one of the picturesque characters

talk about him. Ally grandfather heard him
described by eye-witnesses.
Didn't he wear silk breecheS?'

He was happiest wlfen he was on horse

He would take a pinch of snuff and what

side of his clothes. If you want to get this
costume up right You procure a pair Of
leather breeches. get somebody who drives
a dray to wear them for week or two
and have a streak of snuff rubbed along
