And the voice of the Chriat Child tella out with delight

Of a hope that he dared not to dream of before,
With a aunahine of welcome for all.

A Prayer For Chriatmaa.
Almighty God, we give thee thanks
ifor the mighty yearning of the human
heart for the coming of a Saviour and
the constant promise of thy word that
ihe was to come. In our own souls we
irepeat the humble sighs and panting
from our sense of need and depend
enee and that our own hearts can so
answer from their wilderness the cry,
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.” In
us the rough places ore to be made
smooth, the crooked straight, the
mountains of pride brought low and
lasplradons of ancient men and ages! the valleys of despondency lifted up
land own that our souls are in dark i O God. prepare thou the way in us
ness and infirmity without faith In i now. and may we welcome anew thy
him who comes to bring God to man holy child! Hosanna! Blessed tie he
and man to God. We bless thee for! who cometh In tho name of the Lord.

CORRECTION
This issue contains an adver
tisement of The Reporter’s Sub-
scription Department in which
is quoted some very low club
prices on standard magazines
The discovery is made after the
form had been printed that thq
advertisement erroneously states
these special club rates apply
only to clubs of three or more
"publications, whereas “two”
should have been stated as. the
minimum number.
We will appreciate it if our
friends will favor us with their
subscriptions and renewals. We
can furnish any periodical pub
lished at the lowest possible
prices.
