o Little Town of Bethlehem.


o little town Of Bethlehem,
How still we sec thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars so by.
Yet In thy dark street shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears Of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ IS born of Mary
And, gathered all above,
While mortals sleep tho angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
% morning stars. to~ether
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises Sing to- God the King
And peace to men on earth!
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive hin
still
The dear Christ enters in.
o holy Child OF Bethlehem.
Descend to us. we prayl
Cast out our sin and enter In:
BE born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great. glad tidinrs tell.
o come to us. abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!

So have l.
And cannot order rain or shine
Nor can !.
Then where's the difference, oct mo see,
Betwixt my lord. the king, and me?
Do trusty friends surround the throne
Night and day.
Or make his interests their own?
no, not they
Mine love me for myself alone,
BLESSED be theyl
And that's one difference which SEQ
BetwiXt the lord, my king. and me.
DO knaves around me live and wait
To deceive,
Or fawn or fatter when they hato
And would grieve,.
Or cruel pomps Cypress my state
BY my leave?
No. heaven be thanked! And here you
More differences 'twixt the king and me.
He has his fools with jests and quips
When he'd play,
He has his armies and his ships;
Great are they
But not child to kiss his lips
Wcll-a-day!
And that's the difference. sad to see,
Betwixt the lord my king. and me.
I wear q cap and he the crown
What of that?
And he's the king, and I'm the clown
What Of that?.
How happy | and wretched ne!
Perhaps the king would change with me.

All the Parts Are bat the Expression
OF One Idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism OF q watch its handspring
or the balance wheel is Il mere piece IF
metal He may have looked at thu face
of the watch, and while heNdmires the
motions of it's hands and the time 1t
keeps lie may have wondered III Idle
amazemcnt as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part se1ara tc:y, and he will recognizes
neither design nor adaptation nor rela-
ton between them. bit put them to-
gether. set them to work. point out the
Offices of e. eli spring, wheel and Gag,
explain Their movements and then
show him tie result. Now he p2rcoiyet
that it is al ole design; that. notw.th
standing the number of parts. their dl-
verse forms and various Offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece is of
one idea. lie now rightly concludes
that when the handspring was fashion
ed and tempered its relation tosull the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cog on this wheel are cut and
regu.atedr,adapted-to the ratchets On
that, ETC., and his final. conclusion will
be that such IL piece of mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation Of the parts
is such as to show it to be according to
design and obed.ent to the will OF one
intelligence.
