PRETn LEGEND Of CHRIST
old-FoIk Tale Relates That Stars
Danced and Birds Sang on Day
Of His Birth.

When the child of Nazareth was
born the sun, according to the Bosnian
legend, '1eaped In the heavens and
the stars around II danced. A peace
come over mountain and forest. Even
the rotten stump stood straight and
healthy on the green hillside. The
grass was beflowered with open bios
SONS, incense sweet as myrrh pervad-
ed upland and forest, birds sang on
the mountain top and all gave thanks
to the great God"
Ii Is naught but an old-folk tale, but
Il has truth hidden at its heart, for a
strange, subtle force, a spirit of gen.
ial good will, q newborn kindness,
seem to animate child and man alike
when the world pays its tribute to the
''heaven-sent youngling," as the poet
Drummond, calls the infant Christ.
When the three wise men rode from
the east into the west on their sad
dle-bows were three caskets filed with
gold and frankincepse and myrTh, to
be laid Mt the feet Of the manger-
Graded babe of Bethlehem. Begin
ming with this old, old journey the
spirit of giving crept into the worlds
heart. As the magi came bearing
gifts, so do we also; gifts that re-
lIeve want, gifts that are sweet and
fragrant with friendship, gifts that
breathe love, gifts that mean service,
gifts inspired still by the star that

You couldn't! 1t would make me hap
pier than anything l could think Of

said Suzanne relenting, although l
warn you that know you're just get
ting round me- and I'd be much wiser
to hold to my original position"
"Nancys face flashed into radiance.
Nancy, happy, was always irresistible.
you will be good and sweet and big
and generous and let me have my way !
Oh, knew you would! It's about
Christmas, Suzanne. You see, while
your father has been piling up a for
tune my dear dad has been having
hard times, and we are all having to
be very careful. 1t isn't anything
dreadful, you know, so long as we
have one another and the home; but

Suzanne put her hands on Nancy's
shoulders and looked down into the

answered. IF Christmas is loving, not

"N-no," Nancy faltered. "Only-"

things that I know they'd love even II

1t was an exquisite gift that shone
up at her from the little white boz
| Christmas morning-a pink tourma
line pendant set with pearls. Beneath
was Suzanne's card:
II bought it long ago because II
looked so like you, Nancy dear. But
it is you who are giving me the real

Nancy lifted it to the light. 1t was
the loveliest thing she had ever had
