^THERE'S A SONG IN THE AIR 5
There’s a song In the ulr!
There’s a star In the Bky!
There's a mother’s deep prayer.
And a baby’s low cry!
And the stur rains Its lire
While the beautiful sing.
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a king!
There’s a tumult of Joy
O’er the wonderful birth.
For the Virgin's sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Aye! the star rains Its tire
While the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a king!
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled.
And that song from afar
Has swept o’er the world.
Every hearth is aflame,
And the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations
That Jesus Is King!
We rejoice in the light.
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng.
Aye! we shout to *!■ .. v«ly
Evangel they bring.
And we greet in his cradle
Our Savior and King.
—Josiah Q. Holland.

Young Tom wns sp' iuling rhrist-
inns In the country and had been in-
vited to the beautiful home of a sweet
young tiling named Agnes.
‘‘What a charming place!” he said
enthusiastically, to Agnes’ proud par-
ents. "Does it get us far as those
woods over there?”
"It does,” remarked the somewhat
unsympathetic father.
"Ah," said Tom. still cheerily; “and
to that old stone wall over there,
sir?”
"It does,” came the gruff answer;
"and it goes as far as the river on the
south, and to the main road on the
north.”
“Beautiful!” put in Tom.
“Yes,” went on the old man, “but
it doesn’t go with Agnes!”
Then Tom faded peacefully from
view.
