IN. STORY Ever New.

The Story Ever New.
Only an old, old story,
OF infinite love and grace;
Only beam Of glory
Lighting baby face.
But through the rolling ages,
No story half SO dear;
OF ali earth's sunshine glory
No beams SO bright and clear.
Only manger lowly,
Wherein the sweet child lay;
Only a mother holy,
Watching the hours away
Only sweet song stealing
Down through the quiet skies;
Only a stars soft beaming,
Points where the baby lies.
Only some shepherds kneeling,
Paying their homage sweet,
Pouring their richest treasures
Down at those baby feet.
Strains of that far of anthem
Float through the world since then,
Breathing of Joy in heaven,
ION earth, peace, good will to men,
Hark to the joyous chorus,
ITO you king is born
Star Of the east now lead IFS,
Lead US this Christmas morn
Till. like the faithful shepherds,
We kneel in homage sweet,
And pour our hearts best treasure
81
Thus reads the sweet old story,
Old, but still ever new;
Know we the wealth of glory
1t brings to me and you?
Know we those tiny fingers
Opened heavens portals wide?
But for that helpless baby,
ALI the world had died.

THE EVENING STORY.
Another Woman's Way.
Copyright. 1914. by W. Werner,

In announcing their engagement
John Thompson and Aida Lesbitt gave
to their friends a distinct shock. Two
people so totally unlike could not be
otherwise than totally unsuited. these
same friends argued. and so lombard
ed Aida with warnings and prophecies
that for the first time in her life she
began to suspect that she and John
had believed.
"A plain mismatch. They've not the
slightest chance for happiness" was
the common verdict, but Alida's
grandparents. who had brought hel
up and believed in the perfection o.
their handiwork, laughed at the alb.
surdity of such sentiment applying
to their darling and presently she hat
done the same for John
To be sure, Johns mouth shut firmly
and his straight gaze and strong jaws
had a story all their own: but tt
future with him was all there was
of life. "A mans wife is his crown,
he had told her at the gate one even
ing. 1T would be worth mans while
to die for a girl like you"
That had seemed ideally chivalrous
to Aida and she had Incorporated the
sentiment in every brick that went to
the building of her dream castle. She
lived and had her being in the glamour
of it and not until the honeymoon
was over did she suspect those same
bricks of containing too much straw,
and, a little later, to feel that the
castle itself was in danger of tumb1ing
about her.
AS the days went the plans which
she had thought SO clever when dis
cussed at the gate in the growing twi-
light, in the working out consumed
Johns time and energy and occasion
ally his good nature and chivalry.
There were mornings when he left
her with scarcely word and evenings
when he was absorbed in thought and
too tired to go out or make himself
agreeable.
If she could have known it, Johns
