WOMAN ,. . w and SOCIETY
MY cHRlsTMAs oIFT.

By A. A. Coleman.
 This holy day which marks the birth Of Christ Jehovah's blessed Son, A gift divine bestowed on Earth
 That Life immortal might he won, Should hallowed be by humble prayer, With listening angels eveI bear
 As tokens pure to realms above. But only tbis can man adore
 The holy God-ehld this day born Give freely to the suffering poor
 And cheer the wretehed and forlorn; The widow and the orphan bless
 The prison bound and sick relieve, The hungry feed and wrongs redress; Let all Loves tender care receive. My soul cries out thy will be done In all the Earth" as thus portrayed But, since to thee, my precious one,
 A gift of all my heart was made No other gift I offer here,
 Except tins earnest prayer I pray "Oh thy dear Life, may every year, Be one bright. happy Christmas day" Birmingham, Ala.

 Flowers are among Gods blessings to man. and with the celebration Of this christ's birthday, 1t is appropriate tl@t +heir sweetness shall mingle with our happiness.
 AS one leaves the busy city and turns to home for rest, as he glances pack the last recollections he has are those peau- tiful flowers.
