cHRIsrMAs m THE HEART.

Have your Christmas asst may be-
Christmas in the heart for mel
All the old, sweet, mellow feeling
Of the season through you stealing,
Softening down the hardened crust
OF this struggle in the dust;
Lifting up the soul to light
Of those stars that through the night
Of that anxious journey shone
Ger that humble manger-throne.
Christmas in the heart-that CLOVIS
With the gladness life best knows
When in word and deed and thought
Christmas to the world is brought
AS a festival that CLEANS
Not alone IN childhood dreams
But through all the ways of men,
TIL the old turn young again,
And in sweetness, love reborn,
Sing triumphant of the morn.
Dust and darkness, grief and tears,
Shadows of the gruelIing years,
Bloom and battle, song and sighs-
But at last the Christmas skies
Glowing with their peace of things,
And that sound of spirit wings
Fluttering at the gates of time
Till the church bells swing and chime
AS the heart does, to the song
Of immortal love made strong
In the hearts of men that feel
Chr DER the spirit steal.
