MARY'S CHRISTMAS.

Mary was little girl three years old
she lived in little cottage by the side
of the sea- The water in the sea was
frozen, so Mary, enjoyed herself by
skating on the sea- She often fell but
she got right up saying it did not hurt.
1t was the day before Christmas that
Mary;'s aunt, uncle. grandma. grandpa
and cousin were coming. So Mary
went to meet them. They had lot
of packages but Mary did not know
what for. SO at night she said her
little prayer and then went to sleep.
While she was asleep they decorated
the Christmas tree.
So next morning there stood the
little tree right in the middle of the
parIor. She was so glad that she
hugged and kissed them all. She
went to Sunday school and then came
home to eat turkey. cranberries, cake.
cookies, apples, nuts, candy. bread,
potatoes, gravy, and last of all desert.
In the afternoon she played with her
things which consisted of a wax doll,
a tea set, a doll buggy and several
other things for a little girl. So Mary
had nice Christmas.

WHY THE CHRISTIAN WORLD
CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS.

Many years ago on December %
there was little babe born in man
ger in the city Of Bethlehem.
God sent this little babe to us as his
own son. He had promised many years
before that he would send his own son
into the world On Christmas eve long
ago the shepherds were watching their
focks of sheep, when God sent his
angels to tell them that he had sent
his son into the world, and the star In
the east would guide them to where
the young child was lying. They fol-
lowed the star and they found the babe
and it's mother, Mary, in a manger at

The Yu1e Log
Fairy

Once there lived a family by the
name Of Bandeau. Their home was in
the mountains Of southern France, and
the time was SO long ago that no ac-
count Of the year in which they lived
has been kept. Indeed. had it not
been In the days of fairies, even this
story would never be told. But owing
TO certain happening which took
place on q Christmas Eve this story
was handed down from father to son,
from mother to daughter.
And here is the story:
The Bandeau family mum bered four.
There were the father and mother
banned, respectively, Adam and Han
lah, and the son, Peter, and the
laughter, Esther. Pete was - and
Esther nine years of age.
Adam Bandeau was a poor man, but

JUNIORS HAVE TRUE CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT.

Dear Juniors.-We are very happy
kodav because our Christmas Stocking
club ia such a success. The members
Of this little club are certainly 1uil OF
the true Christmas spirit, the spirit OF
giving and loving which came INTO
this world two thousand years ago
"That First Glad Christmas, the
story Of which is told in the following
verses:
Thou Blessed Christ Of Bethlehem,
( o When Thou In the manger lay
Upon that first glad Christmas Day,
we think the birds more sweetly sang,
The little lambs did softlier bleat,
Thy worshippers more gently trod
To lay their treasures at Thy feet;
And cen the rose, in richer red,
"A finer, rarer perfume shed
Throughout the earth, in every place,
All things did know some added grace
That first glad Christmas Day.
For an Thy ways were gentleness
Ever. as fitting Mary's Child
Fhy speech most pure, Thy manner
mild,
And in Thine eyes shone love divine
For every helpless living thing;
Thy touch that health and life re
stored,
Scorned not the bird with broken wing;
And we who now would serve Thee
best
And choicest gifts would offer Thee
Should follow Thy dear footsteps blest
In tender, helpful ministry
On this and every day.
h
Tho Juniors in their stories tell
many beautiful legends about Christ
mas. We feel that the Courier Juniors
know full we'll the true significance OF
Christmas. Most Of them have shown
It by Joining the christmas Stocking
club We feel very proud Of the Jul
niors. They show such an excellent
spirit Of Christian charity. They will
make many little hearts happy this
Christmas by their offerings to the
Christmas Stocking club We wish
the Juniors very merry, merry
Christmas. May all the blessings of the
reason be their portion.
