STAR IN THE EAST.

One day, long ago, party of strangers on cam
els passed through the streets of Jerusalem They
were noble looking men and were richly dressed
They were Wise Men from the East
They told strange story Months before while
studying the heavens, they had seen new star of
great brightness shine forth suddenly in the skv
They knew that the whole world was expecting
Deliverer. They had read in the holy books of the
Jews that star should arise out of Jacob
This, they thought, must be the star of the great
King, sent to call them to His feet. They must go
and offer Him their homage. And so they set out.
three of them, toward Jerusalem, where they sup
posed He would be found
"Where, then" they asked, as He that is born
King of the Jews. For we have seen His star in
the East and come to adore Him."
The news of their coming soon reached the pal
ace OF Herod. In great alarm he summoned the
chief priests and scrbes of Jerusalem and INQUIRED
of them where Christ should be born.
They answered as with one voice: "In Bethle-
hem of Juda, for so it is written by the prophet:
And thou, Bethlehem the land of Juda, art not the
least among the princes of Juda, for out of thee
shall come forth the captain that shall rule Nv
people Israel"
The strangers were then invited to visit Herod
who promised to do all that he could to help them
in their search.
He asked many questions about the STAR "What
it like! When and where had they first seen it
How long had they been on their journey2"
They were much pleased to find him so much
interested and they told him the whole story Then
he advised them to go to Bethlehem few miles
south of Jerusalem 1t was a little place, and
they could not fail to find the Child there
&C.," he said, "and diligently inquire after the
Child, and when you have found Him, bring me
word again that | also may come and adore Him."
The Wise Men thanked him. and set off without
delay As they went on their way, suddenly the star
they had seen in the East appeared again. 1t went
before them and stood the place where the
young Child was.
And they, seeing the star, rejoieed with exceed
ing great JOY. And entering into the place. they
found the Child with Mary His Mother, and fall
ing down. they adored Him.
They spread carpet at His feet, as was the Gus
tom in the East They humbly knelt before Him,
and offered Him gifts.
We are especially told that they found the Child
with Mary His Mother" 1t was by Mary that our
Blessed Lord to In the Holy Bible the
Son and the Mother appear side by side; and in the
Catholic Church they never separated
How glad we ought to be that when He came to
this cold and sinful world, where there was no room
for Him, He had His Mothers arms to fold Him,
and her immaculate heart on which to rest His head

ana some on the floor. One little bit of mite ac-
tuaily found his way to the top of the table and
sat there with open eyes and mouth eager for any
thing that was to follow.
"A tory, Uncle Doe" said curlv-haired LITTLE
girl She had visited the old man before with Millv
and she knew he maker of stories"

When every vestige of the turkey except the bones
had disappeared down waiting threats and the
cranberries and mince pies had gone the same way.
Mllly ventured to tell Uncle Joe that her secret
was now "out." This party was her secret. For
month, ever since Thanksgiving, when he spent such
lonely day, she and her little friends had saved
their pennies and some even put in their Christmas
money, to give merry Christmas to dear Uncle
Joe.
Don't you think they succeeded? You would
feel of it if you saw the old mans face when
that little invasion of unlimited but welcome guests
left for their homes. He took up his pencil and
paper, anxious to write his Christmas story. The
title he had written in the morning confronted him.

weeks. Still he played on. The lively jigs chorded
i'll with his dreary mood.
Little street children danced for moment on
the pavement as they love to do in the cities, but
were swept away by the passing crowd. What did
life hold for him?
1t was getting late in the autumn afternoon, and
he had not earned enough to pay for a supper and
his poor nights lodging.
A stranger came to him and said let take
your violin and you hold out your hat"
Mechanically compelled by something in his
manner or his face the poor man passed his instru

The stranger began to play He played softly
at first and then the music grew clear and sweeter
The warbling of spring birds and the oyousness Of
nature soft love tones, the 5ubant notes of victory

A violin best voices the emotions of the SOUL if

and hot and fast the words rush to his lips:
Il know man, and I say that Jesus the Savior
was not man."
1t is Christmas day, and the laborer in his cot
tage gazes upon his little and the loved part
of his joys and sorrows. He is happy with the
thought that Jesus of Bethlehem and Jesus of Naz-
areth blessed honest labor forever and flung forth
to the breeze the eternal Justice to your fellow
man." Aye and he has placed woman on lofty
pedestal and crowned pure good womanhood with
above all earthly crowns, henceforth she is
to be the queen of the home, the queen of the ma
tons.
1t is Christmas day and for the sinner, the out
cast of the cities the Infant Savior has smile If
they would but see it. His arms are stretched out
to receive them if they would only come, his lips
open in speech to them if they would only listen
Repent leave the dark night of sin behind, rise up,
rise up and hail the brighter the fresher the purer
morrow"
This is Christmas day; let the bells peal out their
anthems to the Savior; let out hearts warm with
the light of the divinity throb with fervor and
love nothing earthly still. Let Christian
shout ring out to the mountains and valleys of fair
Utah, "The Savior of Bethlehem iveth, the Savior
of Bethlehem reigneth. He is our God forever and

THE DAY OF THE CHILD.

Tho tree shines with the candle-glow.
The trinkets glitter jewel-wise.
And we would that our souls might know
The Joy told in the children's eyes.
Snch sheer delight as this of theirs
A wondrous happiness it is!
And every word the message bears:
This is the children's day-and His!
let us come, as the Wise Men came
Those nineteen centuries agone,
Led by the Stars eternal fame
That babe them rise and hasten on.
They brought rare frankincense and myrrh.
They brought rich gems and craven gold.
They knelt, adoring, near to Her,
And all their marvellings they told.
Aye. as those Men of long ago,
Today we, too, see the Star,
May see It's mystic heavenly glow
Flash Ger Childland fair and far:
And from our hands now fall the gifts
And we know the wise men smiled
With gratefulness; and each heart lifts
Its chant of worship of the Child

JoCULAR GEOGRAPHY.

In Austro-Hungary Let her have
Of Turkey quite a piece;
And serve it with some Barbary iell,
And not too much of Greece.
Perchance a Mesopotamia
Would Sweden on her smiles:
If not let Madagascar if
She'll some Sandwich Isles.
Is Chii-sauce? Let her pause
Or she Malacca friend
Some day when her New Zealand strength
Peru-ses its sad end
For Ecuador may then be closed,
While Chill, with a groan,
See Paraguay and Uruguay
And leave her all alone
Who knows just what the Tunis that
The Portuguese all sing2
And do the Michiganders try
The air while on the wing?

To get the laugh on us
And tie his name to this fair land,

ADESTE FIDELIS.

The English words of the hymn, Adeste Fid
e as follows
Ye faithful souls, rejoice and sing:
To Bethlehem your trophies bring
Before the newborn angels King:
Come let us Him adore,
Come let us Him adore.
True God of Cod true Light of Light,
Born in womb of Virgin bright;
Begot, not made; true God of migf
Come let us Him adore,
Come let us Him adore.
Angelic choirs with JOY now sing,
The heavenly courts with echoes ring,
Glory on high to God our King:
Come let us Him adore
Come let us Him adore.
Jesus, whose life this day begun,
The Fathers co-eternal Son;
Glory to Him be ever sung:
Come let us Him adore
Come let us Him adore

of heaven. This is the day which has severed the
bonds from the noblest part of mantle soul. This
is the day which has given back to man his eternal
birthright This is the day in which the God of

BURDEN OF THE POOR.

This is Christmas day, and the waif, the orphan
and the poor forget the hard burden of their lot in
the cheer and succor which Christian hearts and
hands hold out to them today for the sake of that
infant Savior who in his birth and life forever
blessed poverty and in his death proclaimed to the
sons of men that the road to glory is the path of
suffering. Ye orphans ye poor look upon the man
ger God rests there. God smiles upon you. He
opens out his arms to you to take you to him, as
he Whispers blessed the poor in spirit for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
This is Christmas day, and the rich gaze upon
him who had all riches. For them, too, the Infant
Savior has smile, for them, too, his arms are
stretched out to take to his bosom, those who glad
ly follow his mandate Give and it shall be given
unto you As often you help my poor, my or
phans, you help me-"
1t is Christmas day. and the statesman in his
home above the city looks out upon its steeples and
turrets and crowded streets The bells go pealing,
he hears them, and ah he thinks of Jesus of Beth
lehem, Jesus the lawgiver, Jesus the principle of
Justice morality and the right Jesus the founda-
ton of every true, lasting government. Back to
his mind come rushing those oden empires who had
striven to subdue men by might, and had only
stirred up the higher excitement, the worst of hu-
man passions, and had totally deranged the moral
order, and ah, back to his bind comes rushing the
days when
"Men were butchered to make Roman holi-
day." and rulers of lust and violence cried out ~

the vision of Bethlehem and the Infant Savior with
those words upon His lips
