At the break of Christmas day. Thru the frosty starlight ringing. Faint and sweet and far away Comes the sound of children, sing ing, Chanting, singing. "Cease to mourn. For Christ Is born. Peace and joy to all men bringing!” Careless that the chill winds blow, Growing stronger, sweeter, dearer, Noiseless footfalls in the snow Bring the happy voices nearer. Hear them singing, "Winter's drear. But Christ Is here. Mirth and gladness with Him bring ing!” “Merry Christmas!" hear them say, As the East Is growing lighter, "May the Joy of Christmas day Make your whole year gladder, brighter!" Join their singing, "To each home Our Christ has come. All Love's treasures with Him bring ing!” —Margaret Delnnd. MR8. THOMAS' PARTY.
