THE LEGEND OF THE FIRST
CHRISTMAS TREE.

Away in far-oN land there was n
beautiful hill with gentle slopes. Upon
this hill was big strong tree called
the Thunder Oak" Near this tree
was AN altar Of fire where the heather
would offer their sacrifices to their
sod. Thor.
One cold wintry night band OF
heather soldiers came TO this place
with their wives and children.
ii was the custom in that day to
sacrifice human life because they
thought It pleased their god. SO
these poor heather savages had gath
cred together to STAY one OF their most
beautiful boys TO the god Thor.
When the priest was standing over
fine lad ready to strike him dead with
great hammer, Saint Boniface step
Ped forward. and, with his cross pre-
vented the hammer from crushing tho
child's head. Saint Boniface then
turned 10 the crowd and told them
OF the Christ Child who did not like
such cruel acts.
Then he cut the great oak. because
there had been so many cruel things
done under IL. Back Of this tree was
y small nr tree pointing UP towards
heaven. He said, Let this be your
Christmas tree. II is not blood stain
ed AS Is tho great oak"
Take il 10 tho chicftain's hall. Do

THE SOLDIERS DREAM.

\ soldier lay in his camp dreaming,
Dreaming of the Christ child's birth:
He remembered how the angels were
Peace. good will to men on earth.
And he knew that on the morrow
Would be nghting all the day.
How the drums would be beating
And the guns cleaning gay
How can this be the angels COM
mand:
This is the worse kind Of all lighting
Where will this world truly land.
Then he was 'wakcned by lightning
and thunder;
And the snow was falling fast.
What is this dreamed, thought he:
Is il SO, he thought at last.
God has put this In dream. said he,
SO that l might understand.
Must ! not take heed. said he
Must | not do the angels command"
Yes. oh yes. must, said he.
That is what the dream is for.
Rut cannot resist my lighting.
I cannot q coward be.
Then the poor brok hearted soldier
Cod oh, God, wilt Thou not grant mo
Visions that will guide me
In the land OF no pain
And the God in heaven did grant il;
For He told him what to do
Not to fight OH the Christ-child's birth.
But His will TO do.
And when the morrow did come.
With snow on the ground
Which from heaven had come.
This soldier was taken from the bat
tie field
Back to his tent from where he had
come.
And his last words were uttered in
silence.
Peace on Garth Thy will be done:
And the Germans weeping DER him
Saw the good that lie had done
Not that he had won a battle,
For he said his hands were numb.
And that every time he tried to tight
That lie thought Of the Christ child'S
birth,
And The words that the angels were
singing.
Peace earth.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.

More than 1900 years ago in the
city of Bethlehem the Christ Child
was born. His birth had been pro-
phesied many years before.
1t was decreed b. the Roman En-
peror that the whole world should
he taxed. Every one was 10 go into
lis own city.
Joseph went up from Galilee. out
of the city OF Nazareth to be taxed
with Mary his wife. While they we're
ut bethlehem Mary broush, forth her
first born son and wrapped him in
swaddiinG cloths and laid him in a
manager. There MAS no room for them
In the inn. SO they had TO stay in a
cave with the horses and donkeys.
In the same country there were
shepherds in the field watching the
sheep. The angel o: the Lord came
down upon them and the glory Of the
Lord shown around them and they
were much afraid. The angel said to
them, Fear not. for behold bring
good tidings OF great joy which shall
be to all people
heavenly hosts clarifying and praising
God, saying, GLORY to God in the high
est and on earth peace and good will
TO men" After the departure OF the
angels the shepherds began to say one
TO another. let us go TO bethlehem and
see this thing that has come to pass
They went in haste and found babe
wrapped in swaddlins cloths.
They spread abroad all that had been
told them concerning the child. Tho
shepherds returned glorifying God and
praising Him for all they had seen
and heard.

Nearly 1000 years aGo there lived not
Tar from the little town Of Bethlehem
certain wise men. They had read from
the stars Of the birth OF the Christ
child, and were very much interested
Already they had gotten the rarcst Of
Glittering Jewels as gifts to the new
born King. 1t had been decided among
them that il one of them had left his
gifts that lie should be left.
One night n beautiful star was seen
In the heavens This was the sign
or the royal birth. and the wise men
were waiting. But one had left his
gifts and had TO go back to the house
After getting them he rode on swiftly
In the darkness. Suddenly the horse
stopped.
Realizing that the faithful animal
must have some cause for this. he got
on to sec what was the matter. Before
him there lay poor wounded man.

very tenderly. the wise men put him on
the horse and walked beside them until
he came to the nearest Inn. lie ar

forbade the soldier to enter. Seeing

he had started out on his journey IL

hearted old man before his time. After
finding that the newborn King had left
Bethlehem. he journeyed to Jerusalem.
There he saw poor wretched girl
who was going 20 be killed. Her
thankful smile when he offered his
precious diamond for her life made il
easier To him. It had been granted.
and the wise man had lived with the
young girl ever since.
One day an opening in the roof was
seen. Before his eyes only appeared
their Savior who had risen from the
dead year ago. The kindest face ever
seen radiatcd such a smile as showed
that the beholder's life had not been
for naught The old wise man felt
