Dear Sister, life's sun for you has

To rise again on the golden

And though now with tears our
cheeks may ofttimes be wet.
We feel we must meet again
where loved ones part no more
Years have past since | saw your

Yet in my dreams ofttimes I am
with you again.

And your face will bear no trace

One dear sister will be mis-

But you will be at home with the
loved ones,
In the happy spirit land.
Yes, our sweet companionship is
now ended here.
But, when for US ends life's
transient day.
Our spirits shall dwell together,
In a home where loved ones
pass not away
For here we have no continuing
city
NHere we have no place of res
There we'll have a home eternal.
In the mansions of the blest.
Good bye, Sister, you will be one
more link in the golden chain
That binds us to a world so
bright and fair,
And we pray our Heavenly Father
when we get home
That no link in the family chain
will be missing there.

THE LAND OF CHRISTMAS

Once upon a time there was Al
poor little lame boy who had no
toys. Tom knew this was true for
one day at the little boys house
Tom asked him to bring out his
toys, and the little boy answered
81 haven't any,"
Tom could hardly believe that
there was anybody in the world
without even one toy, so he went
home and told his little sister all
| about it, and together the plan
ned to bring the little boy a toy
from the Land of Christmas.
Mother was willing for them to
go, so hand in hand, on the day
before Christmas went Tom and
little Sister. They did not know
the way so they asked a feathery
snowflake which came and lighted
50 ucily on the end of Toms fin
ger:
Pretty Snowflake, while you
linger
On the tip of my warm finger,
Tell me, where is the land OF
Christmas.
And it answered, Oh, so softly,
Little boy and girl, politely,
Ask yon tree that shines so
brightly
If you seek the Land of Christ
mas.
The children continued their
journey, and at last they arrived
at the great tree shining brightly
across the white snow. When the
children asked the way to Christ
mas land, thus the shining tree
responded;
"Step into my trunk so hollow,
Take a magic wand and follow,
The shining path to Christmas
Land"
So they stepped into the tree
where they found magic wands,
Tom chose a silver one with a stal
at the end of it and little Sister
a golden one, with "a white dove
at its end.
When the children stepped out
of the tree they were indeed sur
prised to find themselves grow
very small indeed. And this the!
noticed-if the magic wands wer'
held aloft they remained small
but when they were lowered the,

grew large again.
The children knew that in the
land of Magic they must obey all
the great commands, so they
started down the shining path
holding their wands high in the
air. They journeyed on and on
and at last they reached a great
wall, and when they looked up
they saw beautiful lights which
spelled the words Christmas
Land over the tiny gateway.
Tom reached up and pulled the
bell rope and out upon the frosty
air rang the sweetest shines you
ever heard. Soon the tiny gates
opened and Tom and Little Sis
ter were glad that they were so
small to slip thru the gates! and
oh, such a beautiful land as it
was! Every tree waas laden with
Christmas gifts. the music boxes
were playing, the horns were blow
ing, the dolls we're saying mama
and papa, the Jacks-in-th-box
were jumping out and then hiding
again, and everything seemed to
be saying, Take me! Take mel"
1t was hard for the children to
| select Just one toy for their little
friend.
They Skipped about for a long
time, examining the toys. Finally,
on the top branch of one of the
tallest trees there hung a box
tied with a big red bow. On one
side of the box were the words,
Magic Lantern"
"The very thing!" said Tom,
but how could he bring down the
box from the top of the tree SO
tall-for, as you remember, the
Nhildren YER very small, Just
then a little breeze whispered in
Toms ear.
Little fairies, tell me why
Isee you sit and sigh;
/ will get the box for you"
Then the little breeze blew in
to a big breeze and flew into the
top of the tree. There he tugged
and pulled and puffed, until at
.
last the string had to let go and
down fell the box, red bow and all,
into a soft snow bank. The chill
dren were over-joyed when the
box containing the Magic Lon
tern wasa safe in their hands.
Then they went back along the
shining path, and very soon they
reached the tree Into its hollow

Your town will be what you
