William Terwiliger, the dejecte,

eh?"
And then the clown beat upon his
drum and the children all marched
stiffly behind.
When magnificent Santa Claus
asked the children to sing with him
and the voices Of the hospital children
sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard
Ing felt herself swelling with pride.
Later when Santa Claus perceived
that one of the hospital children had
an unusually lovely voice he asked
him to sing alone.
And there in the shop he sang, sang
with the thrill of happiness that
bird sings with when first he feels the
warmth and sweet fragrance Of the
spring.
He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in a big shop where
people were and where people listened
to him. not because he was being Wis.
tied In hospital and must do his part
to entertain the visitors, but because
somehow or other they liked his voice.
1t rang out true and strong. He
shifted the crutch which he had never
been without and which he would new
er be without to the end Of his days,
and then he was asked to sing an en-
core.
His face was flushed with the pleas
ure Of doing something which was
liked In this big outside world.
BE looked at Santa Claus and
beamed.
He had already sung popular song
which he had learned from the sqheak-
Ing talking machine which someone
had given the hospital when 1t was no
longer at for the home. and now he
thought he would sing something bet
ter. Somehow he felt It would b
proper. and vaguely perhaps he felt It
would show a gratitude for Christmas
that went deeper. Dimly he thought
these things.
Someone had taught them a hymn
in the hospital. hymn which he had
always loved. It made one feel bet
ter. stronger. happier somehow. It
was q very glorious hymn he. had al.
ways thought.
And he sang:
1T came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song Of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps Of gold;
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heavens all-gracious king;
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing"
Right to the end Of the hymn he
sang and the people thanked him and
Santa Claus told him 1t had been love-
" and gave him q man-like clap On
the back.
Gertrude Harding had felt a lump
in her throat and had smiled with
eyes that were misty.
So the angels did bend near the
in these days-and even
over hospitals where crippled and III |
children were. 1t was the humans,
not the angels, who forgot and who
went through life not thinkingl

The best way to build up a town is
to stand by every man in the place
who does right. Whenever a man is
doing well, do not tear him down
All residents should be partners, not
opponents. In all livelihoods the
more business your rival does, the
more you will do. Every business
man who treats his customers honest
ly, courteously, and fairly will get his
share, and the more business that
can be secured by united efforts. the
better it will be for all. When a
town ceases to grow it begins to die
and the more people try to kill each
others business in their town, the
more readily will utter ruin come to
