a Carol for christmas.


Who shall be the caroliers on this
glad Christmas morn?
First of all, the angels who sang when
He was born,
The Holy Child of Mary, the Son Of
God most high;
And still their carol echoes through
earth and sea and sky.
ITO men of good will, peace" it says,
glory to God on high"
And who shall take the carol up,
and spread abroad it's song?
First to the little children the carol
does belong:
The Christ Child nearest is to them,
SO lowly Graded here,
So high enthroned now, in heavens
highest, hottest sphere,
On Gods right hand exalted, to be
forever near.
Then joining in the chorus, the voices
Of the men
Take UP the words and ring them
out again, again, again;
Glory in heaven and peace on earth;
the Prince of Peace is born;
His reign of peace on earth begins on
this, His birthday morn,
Wherever good will reigns and rules
within the hearts OF men.
Maidens and matrons, girls and boys,
fill in with truneful voices
The chorus, praising God for that for
which the world rejoices.
Trees of the wood stay ever green for
this most reversent reason,
That they may share the thankful joy
of this most blessed season;
Holly and pine and spruce and fir and
mistletoes and laurel
Lend leaf and berry to fill out the
wide worlds Christmas carol.
Bishop William Croswell Doane. in
The Churchman.

recommendation Save the hand claps
for the business man.
TIE cH,l-DREN or THE POOR.

>
There is no surer way to obtain the
genuine happiness which the Christ
mas season should bring to all than to
make happy the children OF the poor.
The Atlanta Constitution makes the
following suggestion along this line
that is very timely:
The little children of the poor before
the window stand;
Lifes paths at last have led them TO
see tse promised land;
There's light and life and glory where
all the windows glow,
They wonder, too, why Santa Claus
forgets poor children so.
Each toy in the windows
Seems like sparkling gem,
But the G. ildren of the poor
They were not meant for them.
Yet, sweet 1t is to view them. and
some may take their cause;
Some plying angel passing may wnls-
per Santa Claus,
May whisper, as through crowded
streets the poor, sad children go,
And Santa-he'll be sorry he forgets
the children so.
For the toys in the windows
Each seems sparkling gem,
But the children Of the poor
They were not meant for them.
Happily there will be no neglected
poor children In Keokuk tomorrow I'M
less arrangem ents miscarry. The
churches, benevolent organizations
and philanthropic citizens acting in
their individual capacity have planned
to make the day one of gladnesn for
all the little ones who otherwise
would be neglected. Possibly all may
not be supplied with toys, but no one
will be permitted to go hungry. With
each succeeding year Christmas is
coming to be more and more childrens
day, and it is eminently the duty of
those who can afford to contribute to
ensure that the children of the poor
as we'll as the children of the well-to-
do and the rich shall share IN it's
joys.
