Child Rulers of the World

On Christmas Day we celebrate
the birthday of boy child born
over 1000 years ago in the tiny city
of Bethlehem of Nazareth. A little
Jewish boy was this Jesus of MAJ.
areth, brought up Under the Jewish
law as were all other little boys in
those days and in that country. :
Only His mother, Mary, knew
that He was a very special little
boy--and He knew even more than
Mary, that He carried in His heart
great message of love and life to
all mankind.
As He grew older He began to
speak that message. He began to
tell men of God, His Father, the
Sources of Life and of All life and
love. He began to teach the mar
velous strength and power of that
love, and so deep was His knowl-
edge of the law of Spirit that He
made wonderful cures of all manner
of diseases.
Great multitudes thronged about
Him for the blessing of His word
and the power of His healing, and
tn +, ears Of ali the world of that day
were filled with His name. But
soon the priests and kings began to
fear this great new power. They
were jealous Of Jesus fame and
sought for an excuse to rid the
world of him. They soon found
what they looked for and one day
they put him to death.
They put the man Jesus to death,
but the Christ and His great and
glorious message still live. They
could break his body, but they never
could silence the voice of Spirit
God-and today that Voice is sing
ing out through the whole world,
Peace on earth, good will toward
men" and every little boy and girl
can know that on every day in every
heart the Christ Child may be born

taken shelter. But no, no flocks
were to be seen.
At least, weary and discouraged
James said: Its OF no use; | must

lost his flock" So, with heart aoh-
ing for the dear lambs he loved,
the sorrowing shepherd started to-
ward home. j.
He had gone about two miles
when he came TO deep and narrow
ravine that ended in a wide pocket
between the cliffs, but was APP
preached BY gradual descent from
the hills where the hocks usually
fed. Here James thought he spied a
few lambs gamboling about the
bushes. He swung himself out upon
a ledge Of rock to better see If they
could be his, and there he saw Sir
rah upon a hat-topped rock, stand
ing guard over the entire flock, pa
tiently waiting for his masters help.
James sailed to his friends and all
soon were at the bottom Of the ra-
vine counting the lambs. All were
therd Not one was missing. Then
Sirrah was proud. as his master
praised his wisdom and patted the
shaggy head
But how did the doc ever man.
age TO gather the scattered flock to-
gether and hold them in the pocket
No one ever could tell, as Sirrah
kept silence and only his wise eyes
tried TO explain.
During the solitude upon the
hills James Hogg taught himself to
read and write, and as he grew up
to young -anhood he loved poe
try so dearly thu he Outlines
wrote poems for others to read and
enjoy. His name became quite fam
Gus throughout Scotland, and he was
known as the shepherd poet, Many
of his poems were written for chill

Juvenile Musicians

As Leo Ornstein is getting to be
famous pianist. though still little
more than lad, you ought to hear
him, or hear something about him,
at any rate. 1t seems like yester-
day when Leo Ornstein, boy prod
ICY, made his first appearance in a
concert hall in New York City. He
came out on the stage, boy with
wavy hair falling over his face and
brilliant eyes, and he sat down to
the piano and played in a brilliant
manner. He made quick, rushing
runs from one end Of the keyboard
to the other, and he played with
feeling and expression. He played a
long program. and at the close his
friends crowded around him. 1t
could we'll be seen that he had come
out into the world that night as a
full-hedged pianist, no matter if he
was only lad. Since then Leo Orn-
stein has done his bit" in music
with sure, telling strokes. His play
ing has been taken down for records,
Omaha daily bee., 1919-02-09

and early last summer there was a
gathering of celebrated musicians
and critics, as we'll as an audience of
concert-goers, to hear his records
played at Carnegie Hall. 1t was an
eerie, ghostlike experience, the big
piano standing on the stage, with no
one seated at its keyboard, playing
the first movement of Ornstein's rec-
ord of the Concerto, with big or
chest(a assembled on the platform.
We could see the keys of the piano
go down and up as if moved by
magic, and the orchestra accom-
panied this weird pianist in perfect
time. But at last the music stopped,
and then Leo Ornstein stepped out
on the platform; he bowed before he
sat down TO the piano to play the
second movement of the Concerto.
Ornstein has composed some wild,
strange music, and some delightful
music, too. He is a genius, you see,
and You must try to hear him play
if possible.

Upon the rugged hills of Scot
land, poor shepherd, by name
James Hogg, watched his masters
flocks, and always in obedient at
tendance his faithful dog Sirrah fol-
lowed closely at his heels. James
father and grandfather and great
grandfather had all been shepherds
before him, so the lad knew no other
trade. At times the flock numbered
as many as 500 sheep and as many
lambs. These had to be driven to
the pastures covering the hills and
watched carefully that none strayed.
Day after day James and his dog,
Sirrah, drove the hocks from one
grassy pasture to another, but at
noon hour the dog was intrusted
alone while the shepherd ate his din
ner by spring or took a short rest
under a shady tree.
One dark night James and Sirrah
we're on the hilltop with flock Of
700 sheep and lambs when a severe
thunder storm arose. The wind
whistled shrilly and the thunder
rolled while the lightning forked
every way. AS the rain poured down
necessarily the poor little lambs
grew so frightened that their bleat-
ing made the sheep run hither and
thither. Finally they started stam-
Oede. some in one direction and
some in another. The distracted
shepherd wandered up and down the
hills. with lighted lantern in his
hand, calling for his focks. But no
sound or sight could he get of a
single one. Even Sirrah seemed to
desert his master in this trying ex-
perience. Two or three other shep-
herds joined James in the search,
but morning came and still they
sought for the locks in every likely
place where the sheep might have

LoYALTY HELPs OWE.

Loyalty is the quality which
prompts person to be true to the
thing he undertakes. 1t means
definite direction, hxity of purpose
and steadfastness. Loyalty sup
plies power, poise, purpose, ballast
and works for health and success.
Nature helps the loyal man. IF you
are careless, slipshod or Indifferent.
Nature assumes you wish to be a
nobody" and grants your desire.
Success hinges on loyalty. Be true
to your art, your business, your EN-
ployet. = Loyalty is for one
who is loyal. 1t is a quality woven
through the very fabric of ones
being and never thing apart

How the Birds Build Their Nests

BY MRS. ]. M. JOHNSON
Would you know how the birds build their nests?
Then listen to me,
Some build on the ground, others under the cave
And some in the top of the highest trees.
"Tl build my nest on the ground" said the Lark,
y ''And with grasses I'll cover it o er.
The sweetest songs I'll sing to you,
And higher than all birds I'll soar
"In the thick foliage I'll build my nest
And through the day keep very still.
When other birds have gone to rest,
You'll hear the song Of the Whppoorwill.'
"Pll build my nest" said the OrioIe,
Like hammock in the top Of the tree
And when the winds blow lightly,
They will rock my brides and me-"
"I'll build my nest " said The Swallow,
"My home shall be under the caves.
1t shall be strongly built of mud,
Well lined with plenty of leaves"
.In tree that is dead" said the Woodpecker,
II will dig hole with my bill.
And put away plenty of food to eat,

Sunderland. Their father was dead,
so the mother had to take care Of

over to their friends. Alice asked
her friend what she was going to
get for Christmas and her friend
said she was not going to get any
thing because they were too poor.
And when Alice returned she told
her mother what her friend had
said.
Alice's mother told her to give
them some of her toys, so Alice and
Joe went UP and Alice got her dolly
and fine dresses for it and a doll
buggy. Joe got a rocking horse,

BY Myrtle Mcdonald. Aged IL. Blair. Neb
One nice day as Jennie Brown was
playing by the roadside, her mother
called her and told her to come in

So her mother made her some
candy and baked her little cake,
so she could have a lunch.
After getting her hat and lunch
she started off. 1t was q bright
sunny, summer day and the sky was
blue, so she did not need a coat.
She went into the woods and aft

lunch basket and said to herself, 81

then she thought Of the poor little
birds up in the trees. She again
opened her lunch basket and scat
tered the crumbs of her cake around
on the ground and then she hid be-
hind a large bush until the birds
came to eat the crumbs.
Presently there were ten birds eat
ing the crumbs.
