TYPHOON IN PHILIPPINES
Actual Loss of Life 17o-Property
Damage About $2,5oO,ooo.

Manila, Dec. 24.-The typhoon which
was reported by cable during the lat

November caused still heavier loss
than was indicated by the first report

POETRY
AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

Along the road to Bethlehem
Three weary wise men slowly Jared
And wondering shepherds gazed at
And bowed the heads which they had
barred
Three wiso men who had journeyed Tar
Rode slowly DER the hills that night
sun following their guiding star
Whose constant beams were broad
and bright
At Christmas time they heard a voice
That sweetly sounded from on high;
Rejoice. ye sons OF men. reJOiceE
The words rang clearly from the sky.
The trembling wise men paused TO hear
The song that angels sang TO them.
And ceased to doubt and turned from
That Christmas night in Bethlehem.
We hurry through the busy days
And in the market-place contend.
We strive to win In sinful ways,
Forsaklng brother, wronging friend;
We foster greed and cling to pride
We have no time for being kind.
We rudely push the laws aside.
And give no guidance 10 the blind.
We madly struggle after gain,
Forgetting all the Master taught;
We worship riches. and disdain
To heed the message that He
Yet. even SO. at Christmas. love
Assails our hearts and chastens them
And brings US glad remembrance o.
That holy night in Bethlehem
We cease a little white to hate.
We turn a little while from sin;
We greet the stranger at the gate.
And. reaching forth we lead him in
And. happily remembering
The babe that IN the manger lay.
We still acknowledge Him our King
As they did. that first Christmas daV-
Three shadowy wise men slowly fare
Along the sEadowy highway stll,
And shadowy shepherds watch them
there
And see the star blaze Ter the hill /.
And men. wherever men may dwell.
still hear the message borne TO them
That God still relgns and all Is well
