the shops gayly dressed clown led the

he turned and winked at them as though
to say:

we? We're in the secret of the fun that
children can have at Christmas time that
the grown-ups know nothing of. They

rang out true and strong. He Z@
shifted his crutch which he ~
had never been without and NfA
which he would never be
without to the end of his days,
and then he was asked to sing an encore.
His face flushed with the pleasure of
doing something which was liked in this
big outside world.
He looked at Santa Claus and beamed.
He had already sung popular song
which he had learned from the squeaking
talking machine which someone had given
the hospital when it was no longer fit for
the home, and now he thought he would
sing something better. Somehow he felt
it would be 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 hymn in
the hospital, hymn which he had al
ways loved. It made one feel better,
stronger, happier somehow. 1t was very
glorious hymn he had always thought.
And he sang:
"It 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 aH-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 it had been lovely and
gave him man-like clap on the back.
Gertrude Harding had felt lump in
her throat and had smiled with eyes that
were misty.
So the angels did bend near the earth
even in these days-and even over hospi-
tails where crippled and i'll children were.
1t was the humans, not the angels, who
forgot and who went through life not
thinking!
Back to the hospital she took the chill
dren late, late that afternoon. The hospi-
tai was in semi-darkness. Children who
had been too recently operated upon or
who could not leave their beds sat up as
best they could to hear of the news of the
outside world.
Little white-clad figures listened to the
glowing accounts brought to them of the
great life which went on beyond the ward.
And for every little child who had to
stay in the hospital, Gertrude Harding
had brought small present, only tri-
fling one, but remembrance from the
great world.
Then the hospital rules which had been
lifted for few minutes after the ones
who had been out so late had come back,
were in order again, and there was silence
in the ward, and soon there would come
sleep.
When she got home that evening, tired
but very, very happy, she said to herself:
"There are born mothers, yes! And
there are born children, too! Children
who need to be loved as much as women
who need children to love. And though
there is a difference between those of
ones very own, andthose who are not, it
