the Fathers love begOtten."

The two eminent sweet singers of
the church, John Keble and Reginald
Heber, bishop of Calcutta, have writ
ten Christmas hymns, but they lack
those elements OF popular song which
constitute the Christmas carol. Keble
sweetly sings:
Like circles widening round
Upon a clear blue river,
Orb after orb the wondrous sound
Is echoed on forever.
Glory to God on high. on earth be
peace.
The lines of the gentle Heber have
their lesson In these days Of CONNER
cial unrest:
II gayiy clothed and proudly fed.
In dangerous wealth we dwell:
Remind US of thy manger bed
And lowly cottage cell.

Christmas Song

In every babe that gains the light
Through rack of human pain,
In each new-breathing soul tonight
The Christ-child lives again.
In every drop Of anguish, pressed
From pallid woman's brow.
In every virgin mother-breast
His Mother whispers now.
And wise men through the dark
ness HE,
Lol In the East-a Star!
o little Christ who is to die
Was your souls journey far?
Strange meteor wounds of death
and birth
Lighting an endless sea;
A little child has come to earth
And He must die for me!
by Mary Mcneil Fenollosa, in
the Craftsman.

no bells, carols, or merry making. 81
