Sum and Substance.
Of all the club of St. Paul church
81 like this one so very much,', cried
one young lady the other day as she
folded her napkin and went away.
Another young lady who thinks with
| quick speed why certainly, I know
| why, yes indeed. The women are good
cooks and everything. Their feasts
are always fit for a king.
But another vamp said with sarcas-
tic look. Hunt You don It know your
A-B-C book. If you say that the eats
alone keep them. What about all
those good looking browns.
Why money is no object to them in
the heart. They pay all kinds of prices
for their feast when it comes to help
ing out all the ladies. They never
know what it is to say maybe.
Sometimes they are envied by pass
ersby or a stone is hurled at them on
the sly. But every knock is a boost
as the old saying goes. But, their
hearts are too big to yield to such
woes.
But I know what it is that cheers
them along
And always in for more laughter and
song
It's that everlasting congeniality
and love
In the minds Of tile Usher Board
Club.

o little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee liel
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy street shineth
The everlasting light;
The hope and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born Of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleei,, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
b morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
land peace to men on earth!
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gifts are given;
30 God imparts to human hearts
rhe blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world Of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him
! still,
The dear Christ enters in.
b Holy Child Of Bethlehem
Descend to US, we pray;
East out our sins, and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
come with abide with US,
Dur Lord Emmanuel!
