And she brought forth her frstborn son, and ~
wrapped him in swaddng clothes, and laid him in
manger; because there room for them in y
the inn
And there in the country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night
And To- the angel of the Lord came upon them, b
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they afraid. "
And the angel said unto them Fear not: for, =
behold, bring you good tdings of great JOY which
shall be to all people,
For you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. I
And this shall be sign unto you; Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddng clothes, lying in a b
manger.
And suddenly there with the angel null y
titude of the heavenly host praisng God and saying,
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
And it to pass, the angels gone
away from them into heaven the shepherds said
to another, Let go unto Bethlehem, and
this thing which is to which the Lord

And they with haste and found Mary, and
Joseph and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which told them concerning
this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those !

MRS. TRENT AND MARGIE CLASH.

That night I awoke at a slight
tugging at my breast and as 1 look
ed down on the little downy crown
of my baby's head whispered
Richard Waverly I'LL"
I could almost feel the arms OF
Dick about me holding us both
his baby and his wIte-close to him.
l kept thinking of things / would
tell him when he came home at
night. And even though i repeat
ed to myself Dick is dead" yet i
could not realize it.
One day I caught a few words
between Mollie and the nurse and
II knew that there was some trou-
BILE that they did not want me to
know about. But / made Mollie
tell me. It seems that the moment
was taken sick. Mother Trent be-
gan to run everything and only
that morning the old housekeeper
had told the nurse that much as she
loved me. she was going to tell me
as soon as ! got well / must find
someone else to take care of the
house as she could not possibly
take orders from Mrs. Trent.
Now don't worry, Margie," said
Nollie. "for I am going TO take
mother home with me. Oh, why
can't she just mind her own busi-
ness" she exclaimed despairingly.
The next morning Mother Trent
insisted upon seeing me, and as I
was regaining my strength rapidly
told the nurse to let her in. l
though ! might as well have 1t over.
The first words Mother Trent
said were. We'll. Margie. am glad
to see you look SO we'll. I knew
you only needed time to recover.
You will be sitting up in a few
days and l know you will be think
ing about your mourning. l want
to tell you how satisfactory mine
Is and ! have taken the liberty of
asking Madame to come
up here tomorrow so that you can
