During a social evening a woman
sang for the guests. One of the
guests turned to a meek-looking lit-
tle man sitting at his side and said:
"How awful. Who can she be?"
"That," replitd the man addressed,
"is my wife."

WHEN Christmas time is pretty
near, if we're good girls
an' boys,
Our mothers take us up the street an'
let us see the toys,
An' we forget that it is cold an' that
our clothes is thin
An* think we're mighty lucky just
to stand there lookin' in.
If we could only have our wish I
guess that we would pray
To have some angel come some
night an' take that glass
afcay,
An' it would pay the angel, too, to
tee the mothers smile
If we could play with all those toys
for just a little while.
Some day when we are all grown up
an' rich as we can be,
If Santa Clans would just bring
things like those in there
to me—
An' for awhile it seems almost as if
he really had,
An' then I 'member that he ain't,
an', my, it makes me sad!
Some day when we are all grown up
an' rich as we can be
We're goin' to buy a store like that,
an' when kids come to see
The things inside we'll let 'em in to
help themselves to toys.
; An', my, we know what that will
mean to little girls an' boys!
—James J. Montague in Hew York

MY Lord was born in Bethlehem
Upon the Christmas eve.
Ah, slack of heart and slow of heart,
Who will not him receive!
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
And waiting shepherds heard
Sweet angel heralds chanting loud
i The long awaited word.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
/nd in a manger laid.
None tended him, none cherished
him,
Save that sweet mother-maid.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
And wise men came to see
His lowly state and homage paid
To his mild majesty.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
But soon he had to flee,
For cruel hate of sinful man
Spared not his infancy.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem,
But home had none on earth;
A pilgrim and a stranger he,
An exile from his birth.
My Lord was born in Bethlehem.
He died, but rote again.
Rich is the gift his desth hath
bought—
New life for sinful men.
—Ethelbert D. Warfleld in Inde-
pendent.

Pretty Christmas Customs
■ There are many pretty '•nstoms
which are observed at Christinas time
I in different countries. One of the
prettiest of these customs Is thus de-
' scribed by a traveler In Sweden, lie
! writes: "One wintry afternoon at
I Christ uiastide I bad been skating on
j a pretty hike three miles from (Jcthen-
1 burg. On my way home I noted that
i at every farmer's house there was
j erected, iu the middle of the dooryard,
I a pole, to the top of which was bound
a large, full slioaf of grain. This, I
was Informed, was for the little wild
j birds. 'They must have a merry Cbrlst-
I mas. too," I was told. Not a peasant
| In Sweden will sit down with bis chil-
I dren to a Christmas dinner indoors un-
til he has first raised aloft a Christ-
mas dinner for the little birds that live
in the cold and snow outside."
The Infant King
THE shepherds, watching through
the night,
Were startled by an angel bright,
Who bade them not to fear,
For he brought tidings of great joy
That will the sin of Eve destroy
And dry the bitter tear.
The shepherds, kneeling on the sod,
Then heard that Christ, the Son of
God,
Was in a stable born,
So poor that on a bed of hay
The lovely infant Jesus lay
A manger to adorn.
The shepherds to adore him went
And heard the choirs from heaven
sent
With grandest voices sing,
Blory be to God on high
And on earth peace to those who try
To love the infant King.
