M~HE forest In a whisper spoke,
"A Vine to flower and pine to OAK
III From holy hilled Jerusalem
To where, upon it's leafy hem,
The humble village chung
Calm Bethlehem, dark, yet like a gen.
Enwrapped with light, as jewels are
BY trembling radiance of the star.
The trees a coming wonder told
While yet the birds, their songs unsung'
Dreamed of the coming of their young
But, though of splendor bright
The forest breathed, its boughs were huns
With sable shade; no taper's beam
Cast through that dusk its happy CLEAN.
The angels sung; the shepherds came;
In the lone manager shone flame
That burned with supernatural light.
The pine trees whispered through the
night,
And, though the Saviour's birth
Changed not their shadowy gloom 10
white.
They in a patient darkness still
Bowed, signing, and obeyed his will
Vanished is that old forest now
And withered wholly, root and bough.
Yet in all Christian realms of earth
Springs q new forest, full of m1rth
That lights with radiant cheer
The evergreen's enduring worth,
And to that whispering prophet brings
glory of the King of kings.
For all our merry Christmas trees
Glow fair with flame and revelries
That cluster round them year by year,
And fir and pine, or far or near,
Live upright, gladly die,
Knowing that they to God are dear,
And bring to man. illuminate,
A torch that leads to heavens gate
Even SO the measure slow of time,
Like rhythm closed with rime,
Raises the patient soul on high,
erngs joy to life, even from sigh,
And in conclusion sweet
Dark grief with gladness can ally
So shines the forest when we meet
With light and song, Christ's birth to
greet.

The Christ Child.

Oh, the beauty of the Christ Child.
The gentleness, the grace,
The smiling, loving tenderness.
The infantile embrace!
All babyhood he holdeth,
All motherhood infoldeth,
Yet who hath seen his face?
Oh, the nearness of the Christ Child
When for a sacred space
He nestles in our very homes,
Light of the human race!
We know him and we love him,
No man to US need prove him,
Yet who hath seen his face?
Mary Mapes Dodge.

Sing a song of Christmas.
Gladdest day of all;
Ger the hills and valleys
See the splendor fall.
Sing of cleaning holly;
Sing of mistletoe-
Sing a song of Christmas
Everywhere you go.
Sing a song of Christmas,
Holy, happy day.
Sing of Bethlehem's manger,
Where the Christ Child lay.
Sing of love unbounded
Peace, good will to men,"
Sing a song of Christmas
Ger and Ger again.
Sing a song of Christmas;
Fen on this glad day
There are griefs and heartaches
All along the way.
Hearts that wait the uplift
OF your note of cheer
Sing a Song of Christmas.
Strong and sweet and clear.
