you of the utter disregard for and ap-
probation Of tree life that has taken
hold OF the lives OF city children as
a result Of the method pursued In
the holiday season. He may say that
trip to the woods or the planting
Of a tree is al entirely wholesome
way of providing Christmas tree.
Giving the birds luncheon by the
children will not be costly, and real
Christmas tree for the birds will
make all happy.
He may ask II you believe the
Creator is pleased with the terrible
sacrifice in yIis name.
The practical farmer will tell you
without the need Of questioning that
a very valuable line of timber Is des-
troyed in the Christmas tree business,
and that every particle of it goes to
waste. His story Of floods and
drought. connected very properly in
his mind with the disappearance OF
our forests and his annual loss. adds
still to the size of the cloud and re-
lates 1t directly with the very chill
dren who are momentarily delighted
with the glitter Of the Christmas tree.
Does it not look then as il when
we celebrate the birth of the Prophet
OF Peace we are at the same time
warning thoughtlessly but needlessly
on His creatures? Does 1t not seem
clear that while we are endeavoring
to create beauty in the home and
church we are in reality working a
vast devastation out OF doors? Does
it not appeal to you as being true
that formerly the Christmas tree was
used to decorate the home, school
and church, whereas today we are
making 1t but peg on which to hang
artificial decorations? How does the
spirit of Arbor day comport with the
Christmas tree traffic? From the eco
nomic standpoint as related to DOS.

vast Christmas tree custom?

and worship. Still kneeling as Ga
briel and his heavenly choir disap-
pear, the shepherds chant a familiar
carol, partly in Latin, partly In Eng
lish. and the chords Of the organ
sound again, soft and low and distant,
while the voices OF the people take
up the melody down In the body OF
the church.
When the curtain Is again drawn
there Is shown the stable at Bethle-
hem, the star shining above 1t. Mary
is there. kneeling. and Joseph leans
upon his staff. Before the OK and the
ass Is the manger, and In it. on the
straw, clothed In jeweled robes, lies
the child Jesus. The shepherds have
followed the star and bow in dumb
show while solemn music Is chanted
from a distance.
Then enters magnificent array
the three kings come to do worship
to the newborn Prince Of Peace. AS
the chant dies down the roll Of drums
and the shrill of flies and trumpets
announce the royal cortege and the
kings pass IN stately review, each
doing his obeisance to the child in Its
lowly cradle, each presenting 1t with
some costly gift, each laying his
crown at the feet OF the Savior. Then
the royal figures and their retainers
join the humble shepherds, kneellng
and worshiping in silence. Soft and
low, then rising higher. comes again
the melody of the distant angel choir,
then 1t diminishes and dies away as
the curtain closes and the lights go
out.
