A Christmas Carol
There's a song in the air!
There's a star in the sky!
There's a mothers deep prayer
And a baby's low cry!
And the star rains it's fire while the
Beautiful sing,
For, the manger of Bethlehem cradles
king.
There's a tumult of joy!
Ger the wonderful birth,
For the virgins sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth;
Ay! the star rains it's fire and the
Beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles
king!
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is af1ame, and the
Beautiful sing
In the homes of the nation that
Jesus is King.
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song 49,
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel
they bring,
And we greet in His cradle our Sa-
viour and King.

"Forida Carcker' come in? I've been a
reader of the Letter Box for a long while,
but just neglected to become, one of the
''army." / live in the western portion of
the state, though I like the southern much
better, because Of its many fruits, beau
tiful flowers, scenery, etc. Why don't more
of our northern friends visit our box? Am
sure they have many interesting, as well as
instructive things to tell us. l like the
north fine. Why not discuss our favorite
authors and places of the world we are
most anxious to see? Among the writer's /
like best are Hall Caine, e. P. Rowe, Edna
Ferber, Harold Bell Wright and Anna Kath-
crime Greene. Countries I'd rather see are
the British Isles, Sweden and Switzerland.
Would also like Ia travel in Canada. Would
appreciate letters from the grown-up read
ers, especially those living in Jackson and
Sewer counties, Tennessee, Cairo, w. Va,
Kentucky, South Florida and the western
states. Cannot promise to answer all re-
ceived, as l now have a heavy correspond
ence, anyway shall do my best. With kind
est wishes am, your sincere cousin.
