the following program for today.

For a while after Tommy went
to bed, he tried to 60 to sleep as
quickly as possible to make the
time for lighting the tree come

CHAPTER TX

For a moment no one moved or
spoke. The hound lying close to
the hearth, usually alert to every
passing sound and scent, twitched
and whimpered in his dreams,
stretched his fore paws and settled
to heavy sleep.
Aren't you going to tell us the
story, grandmother" begged Bess.
"An old one will do il you are so
very tired"
The clock struck eight. $50 late
already, it must lie short story
then, darlings, or Christmas will
take us unawares. Do you tell it
for me, Grandfather, for somehow
my tongue cannot find words"
Holding Bess in her arms grand
mother turned from the hearth to
the deep chair in the chimney nook
from which the Glen road might
be seen, and grandfather sitting
erect and drawing Tommy between
his knees spoke as if he saw the
story that he was telling through
the uncurtained window where the
rolling hills met the starlit sky.
Long ago, almost two thousand
years as time is counted, the world
was growing very hard and selfish
and the Creator, Heart Of God, saw
that the power was not being di-
vided fairly between the rulers that
he had to carry out his great plan.
Heart of Man when he was put
upon the earth to be its governor
had counselor given him that he
must consult in everything and this
was Heart of Nature.
Heart of Nature knew about all
the things that belong to the body
of man and the animals; he was
given charge of the earth, the seas
and sky. He worked for strength,
for perfect forms and beautiful col
ors; he painted the sunsets and all
the wonderful changes of the sea.
In all his realm the greatest was
the strongest in body, or the most
quick to kill, and every live thing
in his realm thought first of itself
or its own young.
Heart of God, who had made the
plan, ruled in the things of the
spirit, the things which outlast the
strongest body, the greatest noun
tain or the tallest tree. He taught
mercy, kindness to the weak and
all unselishness. Between these
two stood Heart of Man, and had
he listened to the counsel of each
in its own good place all would have
gone well But he did not, he

there it was toward night and they
were very tired. There were many
other people in this town Of Beth
lehem that night, and the inn was
full, so that the only place that
Mary and Joseph could find a
shelter to sleep was shed where
the cattle were kept and there in
a manger of hay Mary made her
bed.
''In that o'ntry it was not cold

and the sheep were sleeping out on
the hills where they pastured in
the day. the shepherds watching
them. Above, the stars shone bright
and clear and among them was one
great star that no one remembered
ever to have seen before.
Then as the night wore on the
wonderful hour came when the mes
sage was completed and God sent
the little Christ-baby to be born
on earth to be the Light of which
the new star in the sky was a
sign. There in the stable wrapped
in coarse clothes he lay in his
Mothers arms and wonderful
light shone about him, greater than
from all the stars outside. Some
Wise Men of another country whose
knowledge also came from Heart
of God were travelling that way on
their camels, and saw the new star
