CHRISTMAS, The GLAD YULE-TIME

On the 1st day of January at
s'sioek a. M, the earth will be the
nearest to the sun and the coolest.
On The 21St of December the sun was
al the center of the winter solstice
and at that time started on its re-
tarn course to warm, brighten and
cheer those upon whom for six
months it has turned its back. This
time has been chosen to make merry,
ana the 25th of December has uni
versally been set aside as a holt
day At this time the Creator has
caused the planets to return from
their years wanderings for a new
start. All nature has performed its
functions and is taking a rest. The
human race has harvested its joys
and sorrows, successes and defeats.
Now the yule log is rolled in, the
tereh is applied and its brightly
burning sheds a warmth on the
scene.
Hearts of love and kindness all
ever the dreary land are saying,
come and be merry with us and en-
Joy our blessings. Have you quite
forgotten the slight token of remem-
srance from a distant friend-how it
