A Merry Christmas
x Shall we linger at the threshold
of the New Year 1920 long enough
to summarize the things we have done
during the year 1919 that were wise
and otherwise Or shall we be swept
across the invisible line into the New
Year without giving any consideration
to the lessons our experiences were '
supposed to have taught us
It seems that the smallest incident
in the life of a person's experiences
contains a lesson that helps to shape
the life and destiny of that person
Therefore he who is able to see the
beauty of that plan of mercy devised
to lift man morally intellectually and
spiritually is thrice blessed more than
he to whom material things only
appeal
t
The sumtotal of man’s experiences
has to do with his happiness and his
future Then let us select from the
old year those experiences which will
be beneficial to us through the New
not grieving over the misfortunes
but rejoicing for the lessons learned
and our new resolutions for the year
1920 will beam as new lights in our
lives our cause of action will be more
stable and the results far more grati-
fying A Happy New Year

Yhether it be prattled on baby lips
that scarce can shape the words or
saying them thinks not but only feels
the Insensate overflow of giving
from a soft full heart
Although it be mumbled inarticulate-
ly by the shabby nonentity whose
whine for charity one acknowledges
in the spirit of the season even
while knowing that the words be
said in servile mockery
If it Le breathed by mother mouth
the sad sweet lines of which were
molded so by & yearning prodigal
tenderness and an unfaltering de-
votion be its object worthy or not
Whether it be panted from between
the warm moist lips of maidenhood
—tremulous palpitant shame-faced
and shy because of an ardor which
it dreads to comprehend
Although it be uttered by maid
matron or man friend chance ac-
quaintance tradesman or servant

—i y
EE Louts F Elmendorf
The world lot racked with fain
through bloody yean '
Eat climbed it weary long-palhei
Calvary
Where millions died at Christ
that they might fret
Others from wrong and black op-
pression’s tears
Once mors now through the world
comes to our ears
The tong of all the ages "Christ :
is lorn "
jjfu it tongued to notes of joy hovel
been the bells
And only childhood and old age
dared try
To sing so near the threatening
battle sky
The song that told though dulled
by shrieking shells
Whose bursting turned a thousand
homes to hells
The wonder of the ages " Christ
is bom"
Our faith in Ood has brought to us
the goal
War-weary lands have peace on
earth again
And in the scarred and fire-
purged hearts of men
Made sweet and strong by suffering
of the soul
Through travail of aworld once more
made whole
Anew in human hearts the Christ
is bom
EE Dear Ood the Christmas songs ere
fraught with prayer
That Thou wilt be with thou
whose tears still pay
That ws may havs ths glory of
this day
That man may live their thanks
that lives may bear
Eternal witness for Thee every-
