GOING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

He little knew the sorrow that wa.
in his vacant chair,
He never guessed they'd miss him
or he'd surely have been there
He couldn't see his mother or the
lump that filled her throat.
Or the tears that started falling as
she read his hasty note;
And he couldn't see his father sit
ting sorrowful and dumb.
Or he never would have written that
he thought he couldn't come.
"He little knew of the gladness that
his presence would have made.
And the joy it would have given, or
he never would have stayed.
He didn't know how hungry had the
little mother grown
Once again to see her baby and to
claim him for her own.
He didn't guess the meaning of his
visit Christmas day
Or he never would have written that
he couldn't get away.
He couldn't see the fading of the
HiNkN' thai oiSS WIZ pIlht
And the silver in the tresses; and
he didn't stop to think
How the years are passing swiftly,
and next Christmas it might be
There would be no home to visit and
no mother dear to see.
He didn't think about it'll not say
he didn't care.
He was needless and forgetful or
he'd surely have been there.
Are you going home for Christmas?
Have you written you'll be there?
ioing home to kiss the mother and
to show her that you care?
ioing home to greet the father in a
way to make him glad?
t you're not | hope therell never

With a tune of perfect gladness-

Greatest of all Holidays

Every thing is beginning to look
real Christmassy. Within a few days
we will be celebrating the greatest
Of all holidays, the birth of Christ
the Savior of all mankind. Christ
mas, the winter festival, has always
been regarded as the time for family
this years celebration an event that
will linger always as M OF the
dearest rccollections of home and
loved ones.
However, while We are enjoying
happiness in our homes surrounded
by those who are near and dear to
MS, be not unmindful that it is
Cllrist'S birthday and that there are
many lonely and suffering. Some
where, somehow, in your ordinary
lie pause long enough to find some
one who is lpnping for sympathy
aud just one little word of encour-
agement-for the sweetest thing after
all is to make some one else happy.
In many million homes this year
there will be no merry tones in the
bells that will ring throughout the
Christian world on Christmas day.
To many families whose members
are scattered far and wide. unhappy
mothers, wives and sweethcarts who
have lost loved mes in this terrible
war, Christmas bells will sound harsh
and metallic. To those, perhaps, who
have dear ones still living in the
army. navy, or somewhere in this
great universe, the soft. sweet tones
will bring them a message of hope
and inspiration.

lieries mine shafts reaching from

require them to vacate the houses as
soon AS the strike Is called.

made to these to join the union or
return to their homes. many of them
do not remain long enough to be OF
benefit to the coal company.
