That yellow-haired dollie that's going to
MoifS
Is one present she might have had
For Molly behaved herself nicely.
She doesn't grumble, tell fibs or be
mean;
So her papa has written to Santa
Telling what good girl she's been,
Then there's Tommy's name on the pa
per:
A real boy, but never sauces nor swears,
Nor is cruel to kitties. It's thousand
pities
That Freddie's mother had as few cares.
Now there's the names Of Mildred and
Jessie,
OF Margaret. Julia and Kate
When they go out to play and hear moth
er say,
Home early they never are late.
Next comes Bobbie, that jolly young ras-
And Henry-the boys call him 'Hen!"-
There's a red sled for Bob, and for
Henry job
Playing war with his tin soldier men.
Dick will wake up to find a new tool set;
Phil will get those shining new skates;
Jce's football outfit sure will please him:
He can now go and play with his mates.
Bert likes story books and he'll get some;
A hobby horse Harry will please;
Yes, each little tike will get what he
likes
Their good traits old Santa Claus sees.
AS he cons the long list DER and DER,
Looki he's smiling to think of the joy,
That when Christmas bells ring, each
holiday thing
Will bring to each good girl and boy.
Remember, you little folks. always,
That obedience, kindness, good cheer
Are the things mamma wants nd are
sure to enaconce
You in Santa Claus favor. Oh, hear
How the sleighbells are jingling and tin
king,
How the reindeer are prancing to go
Skimming along o'er the housetops,
Unmindful of cold, ice or snow.
Santa's pack is crammed to o'erfiowing:
Is your name on his visiting list?
Now in bed abide; down the chimney he'll
slide.
II you're good. your house won't be

PRAYER for Compassionate Heart.

Lord, help me to show toward my
fellow men that kindness which have
so often craved from them. May l
think of my neighbor not as my rival
who would undo me, but as my brother
who needs me. Give me the compass
sion of Jesus, that I may never be able
to turn coldly from any man who
needs me. Make me quick to hear the
cry of the suffering. Turn my feet
toward the house of sorrow. May l
know the joy of carrying hope to
hearts that have long been strangers
to hope! l remember how lonely
have been in sickness; help me to re-
lieve the loneliness of the sick. l re-
member how often / have longed for
the touch of friendly hand; help me
to relieve the heart hunger of the neg
lected. For Jesus sake. Amen.--Ed-
ward Leigh Pell, D. D.

MISTLETOE
Christmas Greens Harvested
With Aid of Guns.
But It Is Better to Climb for II a.
Seekers Have Learned-Open
Season Begins Early in
December.

NM~l HE hunter took deliberate
XXX aim and fired into the high
N4H0 er branches of swamp elm.
N@AIN Only bunch of foliage, cut
from its supporting bough
by the charge of bird shot, fell yard
or 30 away.
Missed him?" was the half queried
comment of a "tenderfoot" who had
strained his eyes In vain to see the
object of the shot.
Missed nothing" came the rejoin-
der.
"Shootin' green's" he added by way
of explanation. He picked up the
clump of leaves fiecked with waxen
berries and threw into a gunny sack
three or four pounds oe mistletoe, the
reward of his craftsmanship.
The open season for mistletoe be-
gins early in December, according to
the Kansas City Star, and continues
until only day or SO before Christ
mas, or, in the lean years, until the
crop is exhausted. The old method of
shooting" mistletoe has been in large
part displaced, however, by agile boys
who earn mems wages by climbing for
the crop and carrying 1t to the ground
In sacks slung from their shoulders.
That preserves the foliage beauty by
leaving the berries intact. When the
boughs are harvested" by the shot
gun method the charge jars many of
the globules from their tiny stems and
the fall to earth but adds to the havoc.
Mistletoe jobbers are growing more
discriminating and pay top prices for
well-preserved green's only, the market
varying day by day according to the
quantity offered.
The true mistletoe is a European
evergreen, but its American cousin
resembles it so closely as to battle all
but botanists. The leaves are of the
same yellowish green and the bios
SONS, alike in color, give way in turn
to the wax-like berries. Both are
parasites, growing on the boughs of
deciduous trees.
Apple trees, poplars, naples and
elms seem to best support the vege-
table barnacle. But it sometimes is
found growing in the oaks and other
forest varieties. Along the Pacific
coast it frequently is taken from oak
trees, although the yield in that re-
gion is not prolific.
The mistletoe played a conspicuous
| part in mythology. 1t is symbolical of
the spear with which Hotherus took
! the life of Balder, the white sungod
of summer, who shall be resurrected
at Raganarok, twilight Of the gods
and doomsday of the world, SO runs
the old Morse legend.
Among the Druids and the Celts tns
mistletoe found growing upon an OAK
was believed to possess powers Of
| potent for the working of magic
charms. Small bits of berries were
brewed into love philters for prejudic
ing the passions.
To the esteem in which the mistle
toe was held is directly traceable q
certain old English custom which sur
wives today. At the Christmas tide
every ardent swain who meath its
shadow levies tribute of a kiss and
each half-resisting maid who pays
may know their hearts only bow to
rites centuries old and born when
Yule logs fickered through candle
lighted halls on wintry nights; when
| fairies ruled; when imagery held
sway: when mountain gods gave curse
or blessing and tribute to the mistle.
| toe was a sacrament.

Old Santa'S
Christmas List
By De LYSLE FERREE CASS

The reindeer are harnessed and ready
For their Christmas eve drive through
the sky;
They whinny and stamp; sleigh bells
Jingle,
And old Santa Claus sledge is piled
high
With an abundance Of toys, books and
goodies
For all good little boys and girls;
Santa'l fill up the stockings while the
clock is tick-tocking,
And the SNOW flakes drift down in
whirls.
He'll slide down the chimney as usual
Fat, jolly, red-faced, full of glee-
He's been keeping tsh on each one OF you;
In the picture ho's looking to see
Which kiddies bAve minded their parents
Which youngsters have done as they
ought;
II you have been good and done as you
should,
Old Santa'll bring you lot.
See! He's looking his list of names over,
Yes, and scratching the naughty ones
OUT
II Freddie had minded his mamma
Today he'd never need doubt
That Santa would fill up his stocking;
And IL MaiZie hadn't been bad,

SERMON ON SCREEN
FILLS CHURCH PEWS
DcacOns Adopt Novel Idea to
Lure Congregation to
Service.
PASTOR Is ON VACATION

M~oNTcLAiR, y. j., Aug. IA "stcre-
opticon sermon took the place or the
usual spoken discourse in the Watching
Avenue Congregational Church here to-
day. 1t was one Of the efforts OF the
board OF dcacons to discover some means
to draw members of the congregation
from the cool comforts OF shaded and
screened porches or the nvelier
pleasures of the nearby beaches, links
or tennis courts
During the past month. while the
Rev. Thomas Travis. the pastor. has
been on his vacation. four other min
listers filled the pulpit on successive sun
days. but the deacons felt that IN
swcltering sabbath days OF August some
novel service was needed TO attract even
half OF the usual winter congregation.
The idea OF conveying the lessons OF n
sermon by means Of the eyes rather
Than by the ears suggested Itself TO
william A. Dunlap. superintendent or
the Sunday school. lie proposed n series
o. s%tercopticon views of the work of the
Christian Church through its mission
aries in foreign lands. The deacons de-
cidcd that 1t was worth a trial.
