A CHRISTMAS POEM.

I've been thinking of the story,
OF that first Christmas day.
How Christ was born in Bethlehem,
And In a manger lay.
The angels told the shepherds kind
The keepers of the sheep,
While every thing around about,
Was wrapped in slumber deep.
The glory that the angels saw.
I'll not attempt to tell.
But the glory of His presence,
Our hearts proclaim full we'll
He came to bring Salvation
To rich and poor alike,
For all of us have sinners been.
Yet precious in His sight
For Jesus Christ there was no room
On that first Christ mas day,
And in the hearts of many men
There is no room today.
The wise men saw the star appear
And started out to find
The Savior of the Universe,
Who came for all. mankind.
They gave TO Him their costly sits,
And worship pure and true:
For they had now beheld the one,
The prophets pointed to.
so let us not neglect To give
To Christ our Savior dear.
life of service and of praise.
Throughout the whole New Year.
And may we reach a helping hand
To those by sin weighed down.
And tell them of His saving power
And of the robe and crown.

l. great bridges that span the
Niagara river may be of little
use TO the New Yorker. but when he
wants to go to Canada he finds them a
necessity
Every successful life is built upon
the proposition of preparedness. The
man who refuses to acknowledge the
fact that some day he will be in need
is going to find himself in a serious
predicament when he least expects it,

earnings are spent as soon as earned
or before. Much of the worlds pow
erty Is due to this hand to- mouth ex-
istence. We get into debt and never
get out. We get behind and never
catch up. We run bills until the
butcher and the grocer go broke trying
to pay our way for us.
A certain father lost his son I'M
expectedly. He had no money saved
up. He lived as he went, never ex-
pecting such happening. He appealed
to his bank to carry him over the time
of need. and was granted a loan, more
out of pity than out of respect for his
credit. But he should have built the
bridge for himself long before the time
of need came.
We rarely stop to appreciate how
helpful the bank is until we need as
sistance. nor grasp the fact that if
somebody had not been thrifty and an
ticipated the time when financial
bridges would be needed and banked
their money, we would often be in
sorry plight.
Banks are built on the savings of the
thrifty. They lend to the merchant,
manufacturer and individual both as
a business proposition and as mat
ter of courtesy in time of need; but it
is sad commentary on our method of
life, If when the time of need comes,
we must literally beg the banker, or

In fact, the promehades in the music

About two months ago, all of a sud-
