IIabOr'S Coronation.

Lord. hear the prayer of the laboring man
Who earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow:
Give him all sufficient strength to win the
fight
With pick and shovel, or behind the pIow
Give him sweetest peace Of heart and JOY o
soul
This digger of mines and tiller of soil
Let him know that the greatest of all grea
men
Have found true dignity in honest toll
And when the morn of the browning day
has come
OF the worlds lords and danes of real
renOWn-
OF all the dadcms of triumph that shine
There II be none brighter than the
workers crown.

Christmas.


Thanksgiving Day is over,
And now with JOY we sing
To welcome Merry Christmas,
When Santa Claus is king.
o. Merry, Merry Christmas
What JOY you bring to earth
How sweet you tell the story
Of Christ our Savior'S birth
There's music in your sleigh-bells
That fills the frosty air.
MIngling with the melody
OF carols everywhere.
There's JOY in every moment
Good will in every heart,
That makes us glad we re living
To try to do our part.
For we can help so many
Whose Christmas Day is sad
For one word kindly spoken
Will make a whole heart glad.
