THE CHRIST-CHILD.
HIS world has
whirled on in
its way
For nineteen hun
dred years.
Since Bethlehem's
babe, who came
in Love,
Wept over us His
tears.
Still swings above
the eolden star
That on that nigbt stood still
Above the humble village inn,
By the Judaean rill.
And wise mes seex the path today
The crowned Magi found
The mother heart of womanhood
Hakes that. Earth's holy ground.
The singing angels hover now
Above the manger, there.
Where God's light shone upon His
brow.
The Prince of Peace so -fair!
The wondrous story, never old, '
Thrills on the wakened heart,
Who led us to His Heavenly Fold,
Who walked from men apart.
Awake, today, in spirit strain,
The song that never dies!
Find out that glittering tar again,
The scales dropped from our eyes!
For God's dear love is potent now
As when His reign began;
The chanting of the seraph band
Shames restless heart of man.
Here, in our midst, the Heavenly Dovo
Seeks an eternal rest;
Descending from His throne above
To hide within each breast
Wake! Better Natures, sleeping long!
Cast off the thralls of sin!
List to the choiring angels' song
And let the White Dove in!
Mute by the graves of vanished hates.
Greet all in love today!
Lift up your brows with hearts elate,
And meet Him on our way!

HERB did the
Christmas tree or
iginate? This is
a question that
doubtless would
puzzle most people
to answer. It came
to us from Eng
land, and it is pret
ty well settled that
it was taken there
from Germany, for
the custom of setting up a tree hung
with gifts at Yule-tide was by no means
universal in Britain until after the
marriage of Queen Victoria to a Ger
man prince.
But prior to this there was a sort of
Christmas tree in England. The
"Wassail bob," a bunch of holly or
other evergreens on s. pole, decked with
ribbons aad hung with oranges and
apples, and sometimes bearing a pair
of dolls, was"1 carried about ia York
shire at Christmas nearly a century
ago. Aad until 1830 the "besant" was
escorted by a procession with music at
Shaftesbury it being a tree-shaped
framework covered with ribbons, flow
ers aad peacock feathers, on which
were knag Jewels, coins and other ar
ticles of value, loaned by the local gen
try. Hatcklns' history of- Dorset states
la lMt that the decorations of this
"besaat," or "byiant." or "beson." as
it was variously called, were sometimes
worth as much as 1,600.
Tmsse and kindred customs prevail
ing la the Eaglaad of a century ago
are generally regarded by archaeolo
gists as sarvirals of tree worship,
which seems to have existed every
where. Germany probably received the tree
from Scaadiaavia. where the ancient
legend tells of "Tggdrasll." the ash.

cock feathers, and hung with fans and

Luclan described trees covered-with
ornaments and sacred attributes which
were brought each year to be burnt
offerings to the goddess Atergatis at
Hierapolls of Syria; and he told also
of great trees, loaded with goats, sheep,
garments and gold and silver objects
which were burned before the Syro
Phoenician gods.
Conventional, or "made-up" trees
are pictured on Babylonian cylinders,
and one of the bilingual hymns trans
lated by Prof. Sayce describes how the
"Place of the Tree" (of which these
pictured trees were undoubtedly sym
bols) is the central spot of the earth,
while its fruits obviously the stars
are of brilliant crystal and reach into
the liquid vast."
The pine of Cyuele and Attls is still
to be seen on the ancient bas reliefs,
hung with bells, a reed flute, a wheel
and other objects, and there are sacred
birds among the branches and a ram
and a bull standing beneath, ready for
sacrifice.
Pictures and other votive objects
were attached to the laurel of Apollo.
Summing up all the evidence, it cer
tainly seems that the Christmas tree
hung with gifts has descended to us
from the -timed when decorated trees
laden with offerings were worshiped
as representatives of the abstract
"Universe tree," whose trunk was the
cosmic axis, whose loots were in the
under-world, and whose branches, lift
ed aloft into the skies, bore up the
heavenly hosts.
The custom of decorating the church
es with greenery at Christmas had its
origin in a pagan ceremony. The
great feast of Saturn was held in De
cember, when the worshipers hung the
temple with such green things as they
could find; and the Christians adopted
the same method to celebrate the birth
of the Savior, giving it an emblematic
turn by referring to the "righteous
branch." and justifying it from Isaiah
55: 13 "The glory of Lebanon shall
come unto thee, the fir tree, the, pine
tree and the box together to beautify
the place of my sanctuary."

Hark! those strains, so sweetly falling,

To the poor, the sad;
He has come with kind caressing,
Making children glad.

On that festal morn;
To our heart they are recalling,

Let us greet the wondrous stranger
Saving all from sin;
Let us bring a royal treasure,
Like the wise of old;
Love sincere and without measure.
Better far than gold.

From its chilling air.

THE YULE LOG,
Christmas day in the primitive
church was always observed as the
Sabbath day, and, like that preceded
by an Eve, or Vigil. Hence our pres
ent Christmas Eve. On the nigbt of
this Eve, people were wont to light
up candles of an uncommon size, call
ed Christmas candles, and lay a log oi
wood upon the Are, called a Yule los
or Christmas block, to illuminate the
house, and, as it were, to turn night
into day. This custom is still kept up
in the north of England. The size of
these logs of wood, which were in
fact great trees, may be imagined from
the fact that in the time of the civil
wars of the last century, Capt. Hosier
burnt the house of Mr. Barker of
Haghmond Abbey, near Shrewsbury,
by setting fire to the Yule log. At
the bringing in of the Yule log at
Christmas Eve in the ancient castle of
England, the great hall of the castle
was profusely decorated with ivy and
holly berries. As soon as the log was
lighted the Christmas festivities be
gan. The servants were then given a
general holiday and did not go to beJ
at all, but rambled about until the
church bells called them to prayer at
12 o'clock. The word Yule signifies
Christmas, which was called in the
Latin or Western church the Feast of
Lights, because they used many lights
cr candles at its celebration in honor
of Christ, the Light of all Lights.

HEAR the winds
that sweep the
moor, I know the
waves are high.
And far above the
stormy coast doth
bend an inky
I'm waiting still to
greet my boy who
promised ho
would come
Pve longed and waited many years,
I've watched the speechless sea,
But somewhere in the distance sails
the Seagull far from mc;
Each Christmastide I set his chair be
fore the chestnut fire.
And wait for footsteps at the door to
bring me my desire.
The rose has faded on the mead, and
winter crowns the wold.
And in the village Christmas bells
ring out the story old,
But dear to all the world, how In the
' soft and scented hay,
In Judah's land beloved by all, the
gentle Christ-child lay.
I stir the fire and wait for Joe, for
something unexpressed
Tells me that I shall feel again the
hand so often blessed.
That from the tropics far away, or
from the lands of snow
The missing ship will bring the boy
who left me long ago.
The gulls are screaming where the
waves in fury lash the shore,
And Christmas finds me all alone with
sorrow at my door,
Yet in my heart there blooms a flow'r
both delicate and fair
The rope of Hope which angel hands
have sweetly planted there.
Was that the storm king at my door?
Or did I hear a hand?
Who comes to wish me well today o'er
snowy sea and land?
r-Thls Christmas I would wait alone
within my little home
For Joe, who told me with a kiss that
some day he would come.
It was a knock, I ope the door. What
stranger guest is this?
Unlike the tall and gallant youth
whose cherished voice I miss.
What! back at last? it cannot be, yet
'tis his smile, I know,
And Christmas brings my darling
home despite the swirling snow.
Aye, thro' the tempest and the sea
he comes to keep his word.
And now I know that far above the
widow's prayer was heard;
There steals into my little room a light
like that which fell
Upon the plains of Bethlehem when
watched the shepherds well.
I place him at the table and I look In
to his face,
The while the village bells ring out
their hymns of peace and grace;
And Joe gives back the same old smile
so full of love and joy,
The smile that made me happy when
he was a little boy.
I read of Cbristmastides within the
palaces of old.
Where kings and princes merry make
beneath a cloth of gold;
But I would rather sit today within
our little home,
And bless the God who brought me Joe
across the crested foam.

We love little children. They are
the future. No period of life Is more
full of interest than that of childhood.
We watch the expanding mind of a
fine boy as we do the unfolding of a
flower. Childhood is the primrose sea
son of life; and when we see a clus
ter of little innocent urchins around
the hearth, if our wishes, could be re
alized all their after days should be
those of sunshine and happiness. We
like children and sympathize in all
their little griefs and share in all their
hilarious and boisterous merriment. In
this season of festivity they should
never be forgotten. Send them early
to bed on Christmas eve.on good terms
with themselves and all the rest of the
world, and then fill their suspended
stockings for the bounties of St. Nich
olas with trinkets and toys, and give
them good and useful articles of the
season. Ob, the pleasures of these of
fices! None but a parent ever did or
ever can conceive them. Look at their
bright and shining faces in the morn

duty in this respect. Please your chil

WESTERN CANADA PRAIRIES.
wtara Welfare of the Coatlamt Uea la
Their FortUo Melda.
The rapid progress that is being
made in the settlement of the fertile
prairies of Western Canada Is leading
to the investigation of its resources by
those interested in having provision
made for those living In the crowded
east, for those who have been strug
gling for years on impoverished farms,
for the renter who is unable any longer
to bear up under the strain imposed by
the landlord, and for the farmer who,
nnable to purchase farms for his sons
In his own neighborhood, has to look
around for lower priced lands. The
Investigation shows that it Is impos
sible to meet these conditions success
fully outside of Western Canada. Al
ready millions of bushels of wheat are
being grown there each year, while as
many as 50,000 head of cattle were
shipped out this year. A representa
tive of The Germania, Milwaukee, one
of the leading German papers in the
United States, recently made a trip
through Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta
and Saskatchewan, where lie the free
government lands of Western Canada,
and in a future issue will appear ex
tracts from flattering letters contribut
ed to the Germania and other papers
by their special correspondents. As
an inducement for immigrants to make
their homes in Canada, the Canadian
government offers 160 acres of land
free of cost to any settler.

A school has been adjudged to be a
nuisance by Mr. Justice Romer, of the
English chancery court. A schoolmas
ter took a house at Tunbridge Wells
on the assurance that there was noth
ing to pijvent its being used as a
school. He afterward discovered in
his lease a covenant that no trade or
business should be 'carried on in the
house which would cause any noise in
jurious or disturbing to the neighbors,
and asked to be released. Justice
Romer rejected the rescinding of the
lease, as there was no doubt that an
action against the school as a nuisance
would succeed.
