The Christmas Star

A little Star all undismayed
Stepped down the dusky ways OF night;
White-footed. smiling unafraid.
II passed the orbs OF greater light.
1t held its slender taper high,
The tiny splendors piercing far,
1t knew its time to shine was nigh;
For 10! it was the Christmas Star.
A little child knelt in the dark,
With clear eyes raised and lifted face,
She saw the tiny travelling spark
Move on from its appointed place.
The tears welled so she scarce could see.
Its orb of brightness grew a bar
Mother" she cried, ''it comes to me.
1T kissed my eyes-the Christmas
STAR"
God knows that both these things are
one
The star that shines. the eye that Sees
The answer to the prayer is shown
Unto the sinner on HIS knees.
On the long lanes of splintered light
Descends the shining avatar:
But only tears of pure delight
Could bring the holy Christmas Star.

The Bethlehem Star

The Bethlehem Star! The Guiding Star
OF Old Judeahs night.
Has II become a faded scar
Across the orient night
The guess of Science, and the guess
OF critic, seer, and sage?
Has 1t the DINNER grown, or less
For change of cline and age?
Star of the East!-it is not set;
Though Science scout the sky,
IT'S burning in the heaven yet,
AS bright and sure and high
As when the Shepherds saw 1t flame
over Old Bethlehem,
And followed it until II came
And showed a Christ to them.
The Bethlehem Star-each mother sees
Its holy promise-light,
Believing each its destinies
Her darling's, in the night:
Believing each the little star
Is set above her son
To light her mother-hopes that are,
And shine when hers are done.
The Bethlehem Star! The Guiding Star
That hovers full and clear
Wherever babe and cradle are,
And parents watching near;
Wherever cherub lips of love
Bring tidngs of great joy,
Where'er a mother bends above
Her darling first-born boy!

Chinese Ruler.

The Empress Dowager Of China
was sold into slavery at the age OF
eleven, to save her family from star
vation. Afterwards, she was present
ed to the late Emperor. and. upon his
wife's death, became Empress. Her
feet were never bound, and she was
taught to read after persistent plead

wonderful woman, like those OF Pills,

stacle. And she holds herself at the
head OF China, as does vitos at the
head OF breakfast foods.

Herbert F. Cowles, cashier of the
Amherst National bank at Amherst,
Mass, tells the following story ON
himself:
AS a boy he attended district school
with Charlie, now known as doc"
Shumway. He was very deficient in
reading, and Charlie, who sat behind
him, was in the habit of prompting
him when he came to hard words he
could not read.
One morning 1t was his turn to read
the Bible aloud at devotions. He got
along finely until he got difficult
passage. when he stopped;
"And the Lord spoke unto Moses"
whispered Charlie, who was behind
him looking over his shoulder.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses
repeated Cowles aloud.
put your finger down, gol dern
yer" whispered Charlie, as Cowles'
finger was in the way.
and the Lord spoke unto Moses.
Put your finger down, gol dern yer"
repeated Cowles.
Needless to say Cowles got good

A Christmas Carol

The earth is bare and dreary.
And cheerless Is the light,
The distant hills are cleaning,
With snow drifts fleecy white.
The summer birds are silent,
The flowers are sleeping low,
Upon the earth's warm bosom.
Safeguarded from the snow,
The dear old year Is dying,
But ere 1t quite departs,
With beams of golden glory
III cheers our wistful hearts.
For, tmas--m merry Christmas
The Christians Day Of Days,
tender benediction
Upon 1t softly lays.
oh Christmas-merry Christmas
a., In spirit we go back.
To see the star that guided
-. The saRes on its track. Z
To see the Baby Jesus
Upon His lowly bed,
While seraph hosts adoring, !
Sang praises DER His head
And we. in spirit kneeling,
The Babe OF Bethlehem
New born of Virgin Mother,
Adore and praise with them.
Oh, Son OF God. most Holy!
And yet no home so small,
But Thou, our King and Savior,
Wilt be the Guest OF all!
Oh, Christmas-merry Christmas
1t comes to make us glad,
1t comes to high and lowly,
To happy and to sad;
1t comes, with sweet insistence,
Our dropping hearts to cheer,
And touch with tender glory,
These last days OF the year.
With golden rays of promise,
The hopes that chin have lain
To fuller life 1t quickens,
Until they bloom again.
Good Will AL hearts uniting,
We bid vexations cease
Then unto God be glory,
Who unto earth gives peace.
