THE ANGELS SONG,

The little town of Bethlehem
All calm and silent slept,
While shepherds Ger Judea's hills
Their lonely vigils kept.
High overhead the stars looked down
Through all that peaceful night,
And shed upon the hills below
The radiance OF their light.
Lo, suddenly the sky grew bright.
The air was filled with song.
For down from Heaven to earth there
came
A white robed angel throng
The shepherds raised their heads TO
catch
The tidingS. sweet and clear.
or love and JOY and peace on earth i"
And to all men good cheer.
'In yonder town of Bethlehem
Is born TO you this day
A Savior. which Is Christ the Lord
Go seek him while you may.
And this TO you shall be the sign.
In lowly cattle-stall.
All wrapped in swaddling clothes.
you'll find
The Savior OF us all"
ITO God on high be glory given"
Again the angels sang
With peace on earth and sweet good
Will
The hills of Juda rang.
ITO God on high be glory given
On this glad Christmas morn;
Peace, peace on earth. good will to all
For Christ the Lord is born"

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT CHILDREN

What would Christmas be without the

This of late has been my constant
thought.
AS on tiny hoods and scarfs and
mittens
Ccaselessly my willing fingers
wrought.
What would Christmas be. again / ask
you.
Should YOU miss that loving, warm
embrace,
When n white.robed figure breaks
your Slumbers,
Shouting Merry Christmas" in your
face.
Think of Christmas tree without a
dolly,
Think Of stockings of No 10.
Hanging side by side beneath the
chimney,
Think you Santa Claus would visit
them?
Think of what dearth of innocent en-
Joyment,
Think what barrenness of joy and
mirth,
Think what desolation would be ours,
Were the children banished from
the earth.
Let us, then. bring smiles to their
dear faces.
Let US see their laps with treasures
piled,
Let us think of One who, loving
others.
Came to earth and dwelt a little
Child.
