His Natal Day.

Thou blessed Christ, the Lord Of earth,
We hail this day that gave Thee birth,
Our hearts, in humble thankfulness,
We tune, Thy holy name to bless.
We thank Thee for Thy wondrous
love,
That brought Thee down from Heaven
above,
And with Thy coming, Thou brought
est light, :. ..
To shine out DER earth's darkenilg
night.
Thou broughtest to this vale Of tears,
With all it's griefs, and pain; and fears,
@ holy love, that with Thee came.
And on human affairs lit the fame.
OF hope, and peace. and sweet coz
tent,
A wondrous radiance Thou hast lent
To light the path where mortais trod,
And turn their footsteps back to God.
0, holy One, Thou Bethlehem Child,
Who walked with men, pure undehlea:
No sin e'er touched Thy holy heas1fsS
Though in mans sins Thou had part.
For sin Thou came, for sin Thou died,
On Calvary's brow vert crucified:
Thy dear life's blood flowed on the
Cross,
Poor man to rescue from his loss.
In agony, and shame, and grief,
Thou died that man miShtsflnd relief.
That man from sin might be set free,
To live, and move, and be in Thee
But Thou dids't more than Thy l.fe
give.
That man might only partly live,
Thou conquered death, o'ercanlei the
grave,
Eternal hope to mortals save.
Thy natal day, O. holy One.
Thou Son of Man, and Godss own Son,
Thy praise and glory shall be great.
While Thy natal day we celebrate.
Thy love. our hearts shall thrill with
joy.
Thy service shall our hands employ.
For this glad day we'll spend for
Thee,
In helpful, christ-like ministry.
And when the sun shall sink to rest.
Full many heart, suprenely blest;
Will turn in tl1ankfllness to say
1--WE praise Thee for this Christmas

VERDICT S4,075
AUTOMOBILE
DAMAGE SUIT
Kalamazoo, Mich,

April End, 1919.
in the Circuit Court today the jury
brought in a verdict of $4 ,075 against
j. Allen Snyder to recover for injuries
sustained by Friedrich Ulthoven as a
result of an automobile accident in
which it is claimed that Friedrich
Ulthoven has suffered injuries of a
serious nature j. Allen Snyder was
insured in one of the small insurance
companies which gave him protection
for $500 for liability and he will have
to pay the amount of $3.275.
AS the result of this verdict auto
mobile owners are much interested in
the policy of insurance they take.
The Big Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company of Howell, protects the
owner of the car against damage
claims made against him above $25
up to So 900. During the five seasons
that the Company has been operating
no member has had to pay to exceed
$25 upon claim, as the policy has
been sufficient to take care of large
claims.
Automobile statesmen are taking
more interest in insurance and are
recommending the Citizens Mutual
Automobile Insurance Company of
Howell, as it has a large reserve fund
of 5000 and monthly income suffi-
cient to pay $4,000 of claims per
month.
This is the only mutual that has
so large a reserve fund to meet the
serious losses.
