BETHLEHEM
*14 was the earth and all the star*
But Arary Brother snlUed
Whore in the manger of an inn
Lay warit the Holy Child.
The ox was host upon that night
Unto the King of all;
Ile gave for ineneso ineladowy breath,
For shelter his rude stall.
Not all the cold of earth and man
Canl pierce the heaven mind,
Where warn againet her leaping heart
A Mlother clasps Her Child.
o niraclo of utmost love,
How God grew greater vhen
Ie stooped to le a helpless babe
Besido the hearts of men.
Long ages sinco-and still in joy,
Iin loneliness and tears,
We kneel unto a Little Boy
Who smiles down through the year@.
-Wilbur Underwood in lteedy's Mirror.

Nothing Gained by Losing Temper.
WN'ait'S the use of losing our toin
pers over trifles? Thero's never one
solitary bit of geori resultant. Of
c0.rs alinoying things will happen. Of
Courso tihe teIptation will cOlie if
ve're norimal iwople-anid most of us
are. 1utt the losing of temper cloesn't
hel) natters t hit. It lienpacitates
is for right action, even when the los
Ilg seellis excusable. An angry per
8o0i who cnnot govern self is not apt
to wisely strive to hetter conlitions, at
IeVsL un1til the fit of anger Is over.
