Fiftv Years Ago Today.

Fifty Years Ago Today.
+ 4st night they had Christmas tree down
at the new church; and
lot of things they did somehow, l
couldn't understand
A lot Of things newfangled that we never
used to know
Way back among those Christmas times
of fifty years age
The preacher rode to meetin' in a new
steam wagon which
Made such racket that 1T nigh scared
nobbin in the ditch:
The sermon fairly reeked with words no
body Ger heard flow
From good Cd Brother Danl Virgins. fifty
years ago.
The organ was most wonderful; but then Ii
seemed to me
Il didn't sound as rey'rent as it somehow
ought TO be;
But " hen they sang Joy to the world
ah then / felt the glow
That thrilled my soul those Christmas
times of fifty years ago!
And through that good old anthem seemed
taken back once more
10 where my soul could see across. GEAR
to the golden shore.
Joined and sang. The Lord is come. Let
earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room, and
heaven and nature slngF
Al twas song TO swell the heart. The
organ Numbered loud
And carried grandly heayenward the voices
of the crowd;
Ny soul looked out beyond the earth and
saw the CLEAN and glow
Across the walls of jasper where the living
waters flow.
And over all l heard a voice rise high, and
ever higher
4 girls sweet voice angelic floating down
nd oh AiPs
It's melody swift tangled in my tender
heart strings SO
There came to me a vision from that
Christmas long ago.
All they were blue as summer skies-thosa
tender eyes / knew:
And ever from their depths | saw loves
bright sun shining through
Loves sun that shOne for me alone straight
out of paradise
The paradise that lay within my little
SweetheartS eyes.
And rs the sweet-yOiced Singer sang again
there came to me
vision of the old log church, the little
Christmas tree
Ablaze with tiny lights; l heard voice
And love in those cd Christmas times of
fifty years ago.
1 felt her hand upon my arm; heard the
And through my mind the echoes ran, Let
heaven and nature sing
l saw again the Cedars bend beneath the
Chast' ming snow;
Again | felt my sweetheart's kiss of fifty
years ago.
Sing on for aye O triumph song! My
spirit scars above
And joins an anthem alldivine, a song of
purest love.
I've cast away the thrals of age, flung off
the yoke of time:
The mistletoe and holy b0ughS above us
wreathc and climb.
The song was done. The lights were out
The echoes all were still
The blue eyes once more sleeping en- the
long-forgotten hill;
And 1 am old--ah, very old; and yet my
dimming eyes
Have caught a CLEAN prophetic from the
gates of paradise.
Joy to the world" I quayer DER the
haunting old refrain
And smile on through the lonely tears that
fall like summer rain;
For every year that bows my head but
nearer brings, / know,
My love of those old Christmas times of
fifty years ago.
