THE WIDOWS CHRISTMAS.

Once upon a time there was a widow
who had been sick long time. She
had a little girl to take care OF be-
sides herself. One day the little girl
fell and broke her arm and she could
not help her mother. r." :.
It was a week before Christmas that
the little girl got hurt. The little girls
name was Jenny. Jenny was liked by
all who knew her. The little girls and
bows planned to have surprise for
Jenny and her mother. Jenny's moth.
er's name was Mrs. Carr.
Mrs. Carr was in the kitchen getting
supper the night before Christmas
when she heard some one knocking at
the door. Jenny went to the door and
there was no one there but there was
two large baskets on the step. She
called Mrs. Carr to the door and they
took the baskets into the house and
opened them. One had a turkey. pie,
a cake and some other good things to
eat. The other had fifty dollars in it
and some clothes and toys for Jenny
and her mother.
Mrs. Carr and Jenny were very
much pleased with their Christmas.
They had fine Christmas dinner.
I would like to exchange post cards
with some of the Juniors.

THE CHRIST CHILD.

Many hundred years ago one cold
winter eve, some shepherds were
herding their sheep on the hill side.
When suddenly eregappeared a star
in the sky, that was much brighter
than the other stars. The shepherds
followed this star till it came and
stood over the shed in which the
Christ child lay. ..E
They went into the shed and found
the Christ child on bed Of hay with
it's gentle mother Mary by it's side.
The shepherds knelt down to worship
the child and gave him such presents
as they had. They wrapped him in
white linen of which before he was
wrapped in swaddling clothes. That
is why We keep Christmas every year
in memory of the Christ child.
We celebrate his birthday now by
having Christmas trees and give pres
ents to one another and read and sing
of his birthday.

THE CHRIST CHILD.

A great many years ago great
crowd could be seen going up the hill
toward Jeruslem. The houses and inn
were full Among the last could be
seen couple going from house to
house but could find no place to
spend the night. So '.''~.
At last worn out they went to the
city of David, and went in the stable
where they kept the cattle. ..s5.H
During the night baby was born
and they called him Jesus, as tho
angel had told Mary his name should
be. Il d.. - .stN'sst tit...
There were shepherds in the same
country keeping watch over their
flocks and a great light shone about
them and angel voices sang and the
angels, said unto them: ''Fear not;
for behold, bring good tidings Of
great joy, which shall be to all peo-
pie" -i,.. % @''%
The shepherds were afraid and
trembled. There appeared star in
the east and they followed it. It set
tied over the stable and they went IN
and found Mary and Joseph and the
Christ child in the manger on a bed
of straw, wrapped in strips of linen.
When the shepherds saw him they fell
down on their knees and worshiped
and gave him presents which they had
brought him and then the star guided
them back to their flocks. -
The baby grew as all babys ofand
when he was twelve years Of age he,

THE CHRIST CHILD.

Once in Bethlehem there was =
baby born to Mary. This little BABY
was to be king of the nation. He was
born In manger at Bethlehem. Mary
was proud Of this baby. There were
some shepherds in a field and while
they were tending their sheep they
beheld bright star in the heaven and
heard the angels singing. They were
singing about the new. baby. When
the shepherds heard Of this they OBJ.
tanned presents and went In search OF
him. They found him in manger
where the angels said he would be.
But the men that tho king had sent
to kill him could not find him. The
shepherds prayed to him and then
gave him the presents.
When. Jesus was grown up he; died
on the cross to save his people. While
Mary was weeping at his grave she
saw some angels sitting one at his
head and one at his feet. They told
her not to weep but she did not stop.
While she sat there weeping Jesus
came up to her and said, why dost
thou weep?'' and spoke her name.
When she turned around and saw him
standing up she ran to him. He heal
GU Llc SlCh3 CuAOu LAC AAA40 esAO SAAAA>e3
and forgave the people that had des-
pissed him. Then Jesus sent = man
telling him to preach to the people
and tell them that, II they would not
be good and kind that there would be
sickness fall upon them and they
would die. But some> Of the people
would not listen to him. w ~
{ After a while Jesus became king OF
all this land. The people put both
Of the men into prison that had come
to preach to them. But that made
no difference to Jesus. He could talk
to them just as we'll Jesus could
walk on the waves. Paul, Simon, Pet
er and Jesus are talked about quite q
bit in the Sunday school lessons and
in the bible. In those days the PEG
pie thought that little boy baby was
no good and so they killed them.
They were going around killing all
the little boy babys they could find.
But they did not get to kill Jesus be-
cause Mary hid him.

WHY THE CHRISTIAN WORLD
CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS.

Once there were no people living in
this world. There were trees, flowers,
birds and animals, but no one to thank
God for making all these things.
F. So God made Adam and Eve and
placed them in the garden called Eden,
and for while they were very happy,
but one day they disobeyed God, and
they were sent away from the garden
and said they must suffer care, sorrow,
and sickness, and all who came after
them. ,lm. Erg@ \
But God did not keep his anger for
down savior to die for mankind, so
that all that had done wrong might be
forgiven. ~ =. ~ .
1t was long before the promise came
true. People had forgotten 1t when
suddenly one night above a little vii
1age called Bethlehem bright light ap-
peared in the sky. -. ~ .sI..
The shepherds were the. first to
see it and at the same time they heard
some one singing, and the sky seemed
full of angels.
The shepherds were afraid and hid
their faces. The angels told them not
to be afraid because Christ was born
in Bethlehem. They. told the shepherds
to follow the star and it would lead
them to the Christ-child. The shep-
herds arose and followed the star It
led them over the hills through Bethle-
hem to little stable behind the inn.
There they found little baby and his
mother. This baby was Jesus, his
mother was Mary. They had come
from Nazareth, but there was not
room in the inn to receive them. The
shepherds worshiped this baby Jesus
for they believed that he was to be the
savior of the world. They told other
people about the baby and they also
came to worship him.

CHRIST CHILD

There was said to be born IN the
city of Bethlehem Christ Child. one
night as a shepherd was watching a
star appeared in the east, and gull
gave the Joyous cry that the Christ
Child was born. All Of the shepherds
aroused and followed the star. Alter
a while they came to barn. In the
barn in a manger lay the most Deautl-
full child. The child received the most
beautiful gifts. The child's mothers
name was Mary and the fathers name
was Joseph. Christ's mother and
father thought very much OF him.
The child grew up to be very loving
and kind and everyone loved him who
knew him except a very wicked king.
One day the king sent several
soldiers away to kill, all OF the boy
babies. In this way he thought he
would kill Christ. Joseph and Mary
found out their son was going to be
killed, so Joseph and Mary found out
that they would have to leave in lew
days in order to save their son. SO
Joseph got a donkey and put his Wlfe
and son on it and led them where ne
thought was safe distance: After a
while they saw the soldiers coming,
and they hid. Then a gull appeared
and told the soldiers they had just
gone. IT,. ..' ~
After the soldiers were gone Joseph,
Mary and Christ came from their hid
ing place and went home. They were
very happy. The angel had told the
soldiers wrong. Christ was a carpenter

lines:
Makes up our treasures while we
live ~
We read in 4 beautiful old legend
Of the Christmas angel who goes apout
! this time Of the year, leading US to 90
kindly acts.
once there was selfish little girl
who was also very rich, and who was
finally mado to understand the true
meaning Of Christmas by this angel
After she had given all her treasures
/ away. the angel said to her, Now. see,
your bag II empty; are you not
soe9yf' st t.@ 1
but tho little girl, whose name was
rheodosia, looked straight into his
kind oyes and said:
Il have found the secret now. ana
the Christmas bells rang out. 1t Is
more blessed to give than to receive!
Then the angel caught her to his
bosom With great Joy. Flying swiftly
throQxh the air, he brought her back
Is the palace OF the king. Lo! In the
great hall were all tho gifts still piled,
ana the king and queen had not come.
He carried Theodoaia 70 the place
rhaee her name was. Behold! there
lsy the black bag Wide open and full
az sffts tnnumsrable. On each gift was
some curious inscription. A beautiful
bouquet Of flowers bore tho words.
.aThoso are tho prayers OF the poor.
UPON Q crystal goblet was inscrib Cd,
"The disciples reward"
But most lovely Of all was tho neck
lace Of pearls that hung from the
tablet. Every pearl bore 4 name. like
Patience, Gentleness, Truth, Innocence.
Three pearls were larger than the
rest. on tho largest pearl which was
tho very copy Of the starry one upon
the angels brow, Theodosia read,
",rhe greatest Of these is Charity"
Thus she learned the true name OF
the Christmas angel; and he vanished
away, and she saw him no more. And
the Christmas bells rang once moro,
God so loved the world and again,
Beloved, II God 80 loved us, then
ought We to love one another.
