1t is the human touch which gives
to the Christmas story its perpetual
charm, Not the song of the angels,
which the shepherds heard as they
were watching over their flocks; not
the star which appeared in the far
east and led the Wise Men across
the plains to Bethlehem. 1t is the
little Child Graded in manger and
the loving mother bending over Him,
by which all hearts are touched anew
as often as the beautiful story is told

Bethl'en Star.

(By Ruth McEnery Stuart
Twinkle, twinkle, Bethl'em star!
Angels worship where you are
Up above our world so high
Like beacon in our sky.
When Life's blazing sun is set,
And Deaths brow with dew is wet,
Then your clear and kindly light
Leads lone souls through else dark
night.
And when Faith is sound asleep,
Oft you through Life's windows peep
And you'll never shut your eye
Till Gods Son is in the sky.
Twinkle, then, oh Bethl'em star!
Through all time and space afar,
And, whene'er we fall asleep,
BE on guard, our souls to keep.

If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to
work.

We speak of a Merry Christmas,
And many Happy New Year;
But each in his heart is thinking
OF those that are not here.
