Following the Star
 By FREDERIC E. WEATHERLY

ET was the eve of Christmas; the
 snow lay deep and white. \ sat beside my window and looked
 into the night.
 \ heard the church bells ringing, I
 saw the bright stars shine, And childhood came again to me with all its dreams divine. Then as I listened to the bells and
 watched the skies afar. Gut of the east majestic there rose
 one radiant star,
 And every other star grew pale be-
 fore that heavenly glow. xt seemed to bid me follow, and
 could not choose but go. From street to street it led me by
 many mansion fair. 1t shone through dingy easements on
 many garret bare, From highway on to highway,
 through alleys dark and cold, And where it shone the darkness
 was flooded all with gold. Sad hearts forgot their sorrow, rough
 hearts grew soft and mild, And weary little children turned in 1 their sleep and smiled, While many homeless wanderer | uplifted patient eyes, Seeming to see home at last be-
 yond those starry skies. And then methought earth faded. I rose as borne on wings Beyond the waste of ruined lives, the press of human things. Above the toll and shadow, above the want and woe, Ay old self and its darkness seemed
 left on earth below, And onward, upward, shone the star until it seemed to me ak flashed upon the golden gates and
 OCT the crystal sea, 2nd then the gates rolled backward;
 I stood where angels trod. 1t was the Star of Bethlehem had
 led me up to God.

Christmas Does
 Not Stand Alone

If Christmas stood alone it would be an idle mockery. But it does not stand alone. It is part of a year. Yet it is il peculiar part. It is that brief period in which the child rules the world.
 It marks nowadays the culmination of civilization which has had lead ing principle. The selfish, the hard. the grasping and the unsparing are out and apart that one week from the great flowing tide of the development of the worlds progress. The man or woman who does not know this or see it or feel it is alien to the Christian spirit and to all the products wrought by the Christ spirit in the twenty cen turies last past.
 Christmas day, then, brings a mes sage. But it also sings a song of hope and calls aloud prophecy. The mes- sage is that gentleness is stronger far than force and that the greatest pow CT on earth is the compelling power of tenderness.
 Every Christmas tree is lit with that light. The great flood of presents bears this as it's message. The cheer and charity of the whole season are fed by this love.
 If the result of this process is only a century flower, however, or one that blooms even only once year, then of what use is this more than that, this grotesque fact than that stranger plant? It is a curious phenomenon only, hothouse spectacle and not an abiding food product-Rev pr. David Fl. Steele. Philadelphia.

Christmas Dinner In Dixie

In certain story of Henry James ahe tells of being in a room of "beauti- xul omissions" and to many dining fables of today, among both the rich md poor, the same term could be ap- piled so far as food is concerned, but Co the Christmas dinners of my clear &st recollections it would not properly apply, says Kate Langley Bosher, the well known author, in the New York Hines.
 Ours was a large family, and always there were guests and relatives to dine with us. In consequence the table was enlarged to the limit of it's capacity and reached from one end of the din Ing room to the other Tn the center was a bowl of holly whose berries gIeamed ill the light which fell upon them, and at both head and foot of the aable large, an imposingly large, and consequential turkey which had long Been preparing for his fate lay ready for his sacrifice. Today two turkeys seem scandalously unnecessary. Tn the, yesterdays they were not considered so.
 On one side of the holly berries was a Smithfeld ham baked to a brown ness that was indeed alluring; on the other, a round of spiced beef whose Fragrance made waiting difficult. Soup and; fish on Christmas day were al ways dispensed with.
 Oysters only were served while the Earving was being done, and when the fRtter was sufficiently advanced to per Snit it was with right good will and ap- pettes made ready by the close appeal zhf celery and cranberrieS and home made pickles and crisp corn bread and vegetables of all sorts and kinds that thanks were given for another reunit- sng and for Gods great gift to man, md all in the household went merrily e0 work.
 When dessert was served the table was again laden with a variety that now seems prodigally wasteful of filings called sweet and surely of a tempting not to be resisted. Plum eudding with it's burning brandy perk- Nv insisted that it be tried first, then pies of luscious filling and golden aelIy or perhaps of a rich red, accord fng to the wine with which it was made. Fruits and nuts and raisin: Kept the children busy, and when al East the table was left it was with ; silent prayer from some that penalt! he not exacted for the misdeeds of th' flesh.
 Tn many homes of the south eggno! was made on Christmas eve and kep overnight to season." and in other apple toddy was prepared week or s an advante of it's using. As appetizer either served the purpose well, but i was not as appetizers that they wer faken.
 The average southerner takes ther because he likes them. He thinks then very good, and Christmas comes bu once in a long. long year! Rut c coGrse others may Gil>"a.cr with hlI ss to their use--and lie iiaa uO 4'ia1rt
