look for a spring and renew their
scanty supply of water. The child
instantly left his mothers arms
and babe the tree give her of its
fruit.
1t bent till its branches hung
within reach of their hands, and
so remained until he cried, Rise
thee, 0 palm and be strong" Then
into the dry hot sand he thrust his
finger and a cool fountain gushed
forth and refreshed the family 1t
is because of a tale they tell about
this tree that painters have pic
tured angels bringing palm branch
es to martyrs who have laid down
their lives for the faith. 1t records
that the holy family tarred under
the protecting tree all night and
when they departed next day the
child said This privilege | grant
thee, o Palm, that one of thy
branches shall be taken by my an
gels and planted in the paradise of
my father. And this blessing will!
confer upon thee, that unto all
who have conquered in any contest
it may be said 'Ye have attained
the palm Of victory"
Hardly had his voice ceased be-
fore the sky opened and an angel
came down and plucked a branch
from the top Of the tree and car
ried it to Paradise to plant it by
the River of Life where it will
grow forever. 1t Is a branch from
this tree transplanted to glory that
angels bring to those who are
faithful unto death. Charles

The True Christmas Spirit

There are so many calls this year
TO relieve suffering throughout the
world that we should think very
carefully about the number and
selection of our gifts. When We
think of what we would like to give
our friends and brothers and Sis
ters We should think of the little
French children whose father have
been killed in this terrible war,
many of whom have no homes and
who are in great need of food and
clothing.
Instead of giving unnecessary and
expensive gifts this Christmas
would it not be much better to
give a little token which expresses
the Christmas spirit and help in
stead little starving French or
phan to have a happy Christmas in
spite Of the war
We should remember that mill
ions of little children in the other
war countries are without food
that Christn1 as will find them max
ed and in rags, many living in holeo
in the ground like little "lid
beasts. Many who had christmas
trees last year nave not even
home this year and are without par
cnts and are starving and dying
alone,
One way every one, even little
children, can help is to enlist in
"The Children of Americas Army
Of Relief" Five hundred thousand
children have already enlisted.
Cannot you give even ten. cents
as that will give a starving child
one days life. Three dollars will
keep little child one whole
month. Can't we all help to spread
the true Christmas spirit by help
ing at least one starving child?

Hail, The Christ Child

'Tis solemn midnight; over all
The silver moonbeams coldly fall,
And like the murmur of the sea
The night wind moans-how bit
terly!
But list! above the snowy plain
Resounds a wondrous glad refrain:
BE praise to God, be peace on
earth
The herald of the Saviours birth.
Oh, let US meetest off'ring bring
And haste us to our Infant King,
Who in the matter He hath made
Is masked and in a manger laid.
Our Life, our Truth, our Way,
Our Yesterday, Today,
Our Joy Of all that now we see,
Our Hope-our Heaven yet to be.
In cave of earth where Thou art
thoust,
To minkle with Thy creatures dust,
We stand abashed at love of Thine,
And mute adore, o Babe Divine!
To hold Thee in our mortal armsi
Our Life, our Truth, our Way,
Our Yesterday, Today,
Our Joy OF all that now we see
Our Fape, our Heaven vet to be.

THE CHRIST CHILD IN
PICTURE AND LEGEND

LSSeHuS ana paintings COnceIn-
Ing the flight into Egypt tell a var
led tale. In some Joseph and Mary
and the child journey alone, and in
others they are accompanied by
Salome whose paralyZed hand is
said to have been healed by the
babes touch.
One legend declares that a band
of angels went before, who pitched
tent for the family at night, fer
ried them on branches over
streams, sang heavenly lullabies
TO the babe or carried a torch to
light the way when they Travelled
in the darkness.
The field of grain that often APP
pears in these pictures owes its
presence to a tradition. Mary saw
husbandman sowing grain before
the sun had yet risen. She asked
him to say, if questioned, that he
saw them pass by when he sOwed
the field. The man promised and
went into his dwelling to eat the
morning meal. An hour after, to
his amazement, he saw that the
grain was ripe and ready for har-
vest. While he was reaping 1t
some of Herod's guards dashed up
and demanded to know II ne nad
seen the fraitives. He replied that
such people passed that way while
he was sowing the field. The baf-
fled soldiers turned back, needless
of meddlesome black beetle that
pushed it's head out of the brown
earth and chirped "last night
Legendary authorities say that
the way to Egypt was marked by
many dangers and miraculous es
capes in which trees and plants
lent aid One story tell that they
would surely have been captured
had not a juniper opened to con-
rceal them. Nearly all the plants
remained motionless lest by STIR
ring their leaves and branches in
the wind they might reveal their
hiding place, but the flax bristled
up till it was a close screen and
the brooms rustled and cracked
the better to hide the dear run
Always from the searching eyes and
listening ears.
When the holy family passed
through the forest all the trees
bowed their heads and worshipped
the child, except the vain aspen
which fluttered it's beautiful leaves
in the sunlight and scorned to offer
the homage the rest were so eager
to give. All Arabian legends tes-
tify that the Christ Child had the
power of speech from the time he
lay in the Manager, and this story
SAYS that he sternly rebuked the
naughty tree. 1t was so overcome
with sorrow and remorse that 1t
has never yet ceased to tremble.-
Roland LAWYER, St Mary School.
A never failing favorite with ar.
lists is the legend of the palm tree
that has so many variations. One
version says that while Mary was
resting in it's shadow she looked
up and seeing the tree full of fruit
wished for some of 1t. Joseph
longed to crafty her desire but
was far too weary to climb the tall
tree, so to draw her through from
disappointment he said they must

The Night After Christmas

Twas the night after Christmas
and all thru the house
Not creature was stirring, except
ing a mouse
The stockings flung in haste over
the chair
For the hopes of st Nicholas were
no longer there
The children were restlessly toss
ing in bed,
For the pie and the candy were as
heavy as lead.
While mama in her kerchief and |
in my gown
Had just made up our minds that
We would not lie down,
When out on the lawn there arose
such a clatter
sprang from my bed to see what
was the matter
Away to the window ! went wleh
dash
Flung open the chatter and threw
up the eaon
The moon on the breast of the new
fallen snow
Gave a luster of noon day to OBJ
jects below

should appear
But horse and a sleigh, both old
fashioned and queer
With a little old driver so solemn
and slow

drew in my head and was turning
around
When up stairs came the doctor
with scarcely sound.
He wore a thick coat made long
ago
And the beard on his chin was as
white as the snow
He spoke a few words, and went
straight to his work
He felt all the pulses. then turned
with jerk
And laying his finger aside of his
nose
With a nod of his head to the chin
ney he goes
"A spoonful of oil, mama, if you
have 1t handy
No nuts and no raisins, no pies and
no candy
The tender young stomachs cannot
well digest
All the sweets that they get; toys
and books are the best
But | know my advice will not find
many friends
For the custom of Xmas the other
way attends
The fathers and mothers and Santa
Claus too
Are exceedingly blind.
Well, a good night to you"
And | heard him exclaim as he
drove out of sight
These feastings and candies make

ESTHER'S CHRISTMAS

1t was Christmas morning. Little
Esther awoke and found herself
surrounded by so many playthings.
She was so happy that she jumped
up and down. She wanted some
candy and she also thought of her
stocking down stairs. She ran
down stairs and found her stock
ing packed full Of good things. Es
Their had as many dolls as little
princess. She put the prettiest doll
down by the fire place.
Her dog received a present, a lit
tie bed for him to sleep IN. He al
so ran down stairs and looked LONG
ingly at the good THINGS,
Esther was a rich girl AFTER she
had looked at her presents sho
went 10 the window and saw many
poor children running up and down
the street looking on the windows
of Esthers' house. She felt sorry
for these children. Esther told one
little girl to come in and she would
give her a Christmas present. The
poor girl was delighted.
Esther gave her some candy and
nuts and also a new dress, shoes
and stockings, coat and hat.
In about a year the poor girl be-
came rich and she and Esther be-
came great friends.-Leota Fay

war. The members of the mission,

of a belligerent, not having declared
war, but the government has severed
relations with Germany.
