C HANT me a rhyme of Christina*—
And though it la filled with laugh
ter, let It be pure and strong.
Sing of the hearts brimmed over with
the story of the day—
Of the echo of childish voices that will
' not die away. ..
Of the blare of the tasseled bugle, and
of the timeless clatter and beat
Of the drum that throbs to muster
SQuadrons of scampering feet.
'Bat. O, let your voice fall falKter, till,
blent with a minor tone,
Tou temper your song with the beauty
of the pity Christ has shown.
iAnd sing one verse for the voiceless;
and yet ere the song be done,
JL verse for the ears that hear not,
and a verse for the sightless one.
Bor though It be time for singing a
merry Christmas glee,
|L<st a low, sweet voice of pathos
through the melody.
CHRISTMAS
hern that he might die at
Calvary. This is th^ mes
sage and meaning of Christmas.
Socrates supposed and Plato
philosophized and the world’s
great ones dreamed that mental
process could save humanity.
But Jesus came to save us from
the evil that dwells in us, and
in the unexplored field of re
demption his missioh was new
and solitary. Tl^e sublimity of
Christ’s career is measured by
the volume tmd depth of human
guilt.—Herald and Presbyter.

ALTHAZAR. Melchior, Kasper,
who followed that bright
JrP Chrlstmae star—
Tou know the tale of the Wise
Men, who camp hearing gifts
from afar.
Here le the tale of Artaban, the Fourth
Wise Man of the Kast,
Who saw not the Babe la the manger,
but not of the four was the least!
He stopped to succor one dying and
loet hla companion* and way.
But ever he pressed hie quest onward
in hope, though alone and astray.
And ever he nursed the ailing and ever
the hungry he fed,
And ever he clothed the naked wher
ever his wanderings led.
One after another vanlehed the gifts
he had brought for the King—
To save a slave girl from torment he
cast down his last precious ring.
At last a tile struck his temple; Arta
ban then knew he must die. 1
Lying there, stricken and helpless, his,
ears heard a Voice from on High
Commending his deeds and service.
"Not so, Lord!" he cried In amaze.
Long have I sought The* to serve
Thee, but sought Thee In vain
all roy dayer- ■ •— - —- — r
When have I clothed Thee when naked?
And when wert Thou hungered
and fed?

Or homeless, gavs Thee a bed?"
The Voice replied to his mourning: "As
thou hast done It unto one
Of the least of these, my brethren, so
unto me it has been done."
This Is the tale of Artaban, its lesson
as strong now as thea:
"To God ye do only service as ye may
do service to men.”

“Better that than my self-respect,”
Bob answered quietly. “And the trade

He went to the girl and began to

she hgd pushed back.

Inquired. “I heart) you mention that,
casually, when you first looked at the
goods- For your mother, perhaps, for
Christmas.”
“I’ve—changed my wind. I will
look at something cheaper.”
“Considering quality, this Is the
cheapest goods I have. But I have a
little story to tell first Then I want
you to help me. And you mnstn't
think me Impertinent if I say things
you won’t like. You heard us talking
Just now?” ^
“Yes,’’ wondering what was coming,
“and I’ll listen.”
“Then you know my trade has been
good enough to allow of a $500 Christ
mas offering. I want to make It worth
while, and I don’t know how. You
are familiar with the struggles of
shop girls, and with the pathetic side
of Christmas buyers, Alice.”
Thq^girl looked startled. “I never
saw you before,” she exclaimed. “How

There will be an orchestra and danc

you can manage $500 this year.”
Bob Henderson glanced toward a
rather shabby girl who had slipped
a few feet down
the counter. He
had been waiting
on her when lllsa
Bristow poshed
arrogantly In
front of her. The
girl was looking
toward him. She
had slid a piece
of goods back on
the counter.
“Beg your par
don, Miss Bris
tow,” he said, “I
am waiting on
this young laJy.
“Ill listen to you
In a few mo
ments.”
Miss Bristow
fluttered her eye-lids toward tha
girl. “The person can wait,” she said
superciliously. “She Is used to it.
Now?”
“I don’t belong to the clnb, never
been asked to it, wouldn’t be con
sidered eligible, and—”
She lifted her eyebrows. “You do
not understand. Our set—”
”1 understand all right Fm wonder
ing why I should help pay.”
jr “Because we trade with you—”
“Because I have the goods you want,
rather.”
“You don’t seem to realise what an
honor It is to be associated with our
set even In a donation way,” Icily.
“How much shall I set down?”
‘Til be with you in a few moments,”
called Bob to the shabby girl—“or Jf
you’re in a hurry 111 end this meaning
less talk at once.
“No—no, sir. Fve got plenty of
time,” faltered the girl.
“Thank yon. Now, Miss Bristow,”
turning back and speaking crisply.
“Last year I gave you a hundred dol
lars for some charity that wasn’t char
ity, it seems. The trade of your set
was welcome j but more, I was young
and—easy. This year my trade has
been better, and I really can afford
$500 for charityj—” '
“Fine!” she interrupted, though
wincing at the word “charity.” “Pay
it now, or shall I mark it ‘promise’?”
“Sorry, but I’ve been learning things
since last year—about charity. Only
this forenoon I went to the depart
ment store across the street for some
thing, and stood w itching the Christ
mas shoppers for a while, and—but
you wouldn't understand a thing like
his, Miss Bristow, Only it determined
my growing resolu ion to make what
I give count. Helping to ffeed and
amuse a supposedly wealthy card club
is not charity; It Is foolishness.”
“Yyu—beist. You refuse anything?”
“Absolutely,”
M' s Bristow swung toward tfee
/oor.
department store
this morning, as
you heard. I
watched the
shoppers. I saw
children and
women look at In
expensive things
wistfully, then
turn away. I
heard a tired-
looking shop girl
tell another that
she wanted to get
a crippled sister
to a doctor, but
couldn’t'afford it.
Five hundred dol
lars would do
real good there.”
The girl’s face lighted. “Indeed,
It would, Mr. Henderson. 1 know that
girt with a crippled sister. She sup
ports her invalid mother and her small
brothers and sisters, and sends some
of them to school. And I know others
What wouldn’t $500 do!”
“I feel so, too, Alice. And you’re
Just the one to do it.”
“Me?” incredulously. "Why, you
don’t know me”
“Yes, I do. I was standing near the
room manager when he called you up
and discharged you. After you went
out I heard him say to some one, In s
regretful way, that you were one of
the best sales girls he ever had. but
that you persisted tf In dressing so shab
bily, in spite of repeated warnings,
that he was forced to let yon go. He
wanted only attractively dressed girls.’'
Alice blushed scarlet “I have so
many to look after that It Isn’t right
to waste on myself,” sbe said In a low
voice.
“1 understand. I made inquiries
about you, and find you are the girl
I need. Now, I want you to work
for me, Alice, but I riiall give you the
forenoons during the holidays to ex
pend the $500 wisely. You may k&ep
a report to show me. Afternoons and
evenings I shall want you here. Tht
salary will be $20 a week.”
“I got only $10 m the department
store.”
“I always par $20. A good girl Is*
worth it. And, oh yes, you must dress
nicely. I can take two or three dol
lars from your wages each week to
pay on the things you buy. You’ll
wanj at least two dresses for your
self, with shoes, hat and other things.
This dress for your mother, and what
things you want for the children.
You’ll come?”
“Y-yes, indeed.”
Tears were slipping down her
cheeks. But they were happy ones.
