Appreciates Donations.

Mrs. Mary Campbell, near
Knobsville, is rejoicing because
of the free-handed kindness of a
lot of neighbors who gave her a
surprise party on her birthday,
August 2Sth. Instead of bring
ing good wishes only, they
brought butter, coffee, corn,
wheat, and many other presents,
all being mixed with liberal guam
titles of that ingredient, the love
of which is the root of all evil,
but nevertheless, acceptable to
rich and poor alike. Mrs. Camp
bell hopes that the Giver of all
good may prosper these friends
an hundred fold.

 trees stood very straight and still on this cold night. By and by the tallest and the oldest of them said:
 How happy I shall be when at last am strong enough and tall enough to be cut down by the wood cutters. l hope when they do cut me down that I may be good enough that they will want me for some great ship, and then shall have chance to sail the seas."
 What do you know about ships and the seas?" asked little pine tree who stood at the foot of the tall one.
 The stately tree bent his branches a very little and looked down at the small tree, at his feet
 q have heard many stories of the seas, and the ships that sail on them, for the birds sit in my branches and sing to me all the time of the beauties and wonders of the world Then, too, the starbeams, who are much older than the birds, have some truly won derful tales to tell of things that they have seen in their trips around the world. There is the Starbeam of the Brightest Star, just peeping over the hilltop. He can tell some truly won derful tales"
 The little pine tree trembled for very joy. This was his first winter in the forest, and these things were all new to him, just as was the snow that was covering his roots, and making them all warm with it's white blanket Wont you please ask the Starbeam to tell us a story?" asked the little pine.
 Let us ask him to tell us again the Christmas story" said another of the older pines, "the one he told us last year."
 So, when the Starbeam came over and rested gently on the tallest pine, he asked it to tell again the Story of the First Christmas.
 q love to tell this story best of all stories that I know" said the little Starbeam.
 "Once upon time long time ago, long before even the oldest pine trees here began to grow, beautiful wom- an, named Mary, and her husband, Jo- seph, went on journey to little city called Bethlehem. All the people in that country went to this same city, to pay their taxes, and when Mary and Joseph got there, they found so many people, that there was no room left for them at the inn. The only place where they could find shelter was in a stable, and here they went. That night a little babe was born, and it's mother, Mary, laid him in a manager on some nice clean straw.
 Away off in the East, the Brightest Star appeared. He had never been seen before, and some wise men who kfew that this was the time for the babe to be born, saw the Brightest Star as they started out to find the babe. All their long journey the Bright est Star kept just in front of them to show them the way to go, and when they rested at night, the Brightest Star would rest too, and wait for them. At last they reached the city of Beth lehem, and found the little babe in the manager with his mother by his side.
 These wise men had brought some very costly gifts to this babe, and it is the birthday of this babe that is celebrated every Christmas, and 1t is in his memory that gifts are given to the poor.
 That is all of the story and it is time for me to be going" and the Star beam went gayly on, dancing over the tops of the trees.

 We had unusually good ser vices on last Sunday. At the morning service we had two additions. The sickness in our community cut the attendance quite good deal. There is hardly a family in our church but that has sickness in it. The great amount of sickness, and the number of deaths in our community recently ought to make men and women think seriously. If you should be the next, what of the future?
 Do not forget the Bible School to be held with us January "A . |29. During that time we will have Dr. l.. R. Scarborough. President of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft.

The Russian St. Nicholas.

THc HuSStdH ots NICnoIaS.
 In Russia the children put their shoes filled with hay outside the door for the horses of St. Nicholas; and it is believed in most sections that St. Nicholas comes first on a prepara- tory visit ten days before Christmas to learn which children have been good. He leaves nuts and candy in the shoes of those who have been good but nothing for those who have been bad, who thus know that they may expect no presents on the real Christmas day.
