THE LEGEND OF THE
CHRISTMAS ROSE
By Florence Boyce Darla
It was long ago, but I seem to see
The shadow under the olive tree
And a little figure alt robed in
white,
Standing wonder-eyed in the light
That shone o'er Bethlehem’s hills
wings.
Eggs, and honey, and fruiti
the vine,
A leather flagon of new, sweet
wine, ■
And a warm wool blanket to lay
him on.

Miriam, daughter of Berachah. They turned their steps toward

Her standing under the olive tree., And tho Star »n the East shone
over them.
What sound broke into her |
dreams, who knows? . Miriam watched them, tearful
But something roused her—tre , eyed;

So she and the old dog followed
on ' » ,
The starlit path where the men
had eone,
Far and away from their own
hillside*
And Fstenrd rapt when the still Clinging clcse when the jackal

Like snow flowers, each on <

And Miriam stooped and gather

And carried them to the Child.
The angel lifted his staff an

The shepherds knelt on the ttm

Miriam looked at the newborn

“Alas!” she murmured. “No g»ft

And out from the stable warm
she crept
And stood alone in the night and

Twas an angel’s voice. Though

She saw the halo about his fcrow.
And the little maiden answered

“I grieve at having no gift to

No gift at all for the baby King.

AND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
IS UP READY FOR
DECORATIONS
I certainly got a thrill out of
that great big tree which spru •»
up like magic Friday night at the
intersection of Clayton and Col
lege avenue. Already it looks
like Christmas and with the num
ber of living trees to be lighted.
Athens is going to (be very lovely
in Yuletide glory.
Nothing gives the added touch
as a Christmas tree all gleaming
and glowin through nit the weeV
incident to Christmas day. Isn’t
It enough cheer and wsrm th*
hearts outdoors aa well as In?
Carrying the sweet message of
old “Peace and Good will to all
men.” Let the happy spirit of
the season pervade each home,
throughout the streets in the
business esetion and everywhere, j
