The little trees of Christmas
Stand bravely, row on row.
Hard by the high reared altar
Where festal candles glow
Dark looms the root above them,
Who lately from the sod
With all the glad, green forest
Raised myriad hands to God.
rhe scurrying hare that passed them,
T’.e ducks, wedge-flying by—
These only <n the woodland
Disturbed their reverie
Here fervent prayers and praises
From eager lips upspring
I'hai strive through finite phrases
To laud the Immortal King.
The little trees stand steadfast.
Green martyrs to, his praise,
iodward they lift their branches
As In the clear, free days
lodward they send their perfume
From every fine-wrought limb,
n man-made church or forest
Alike Incense to him.
> little trees of Christmas,
Teach me the truths y„u know!
each me to find his temple
In woods and stars and snow
r eaoh me through turning Godward
From fear to find release,
vnd steadfast, with sweet worship
To great the Child of Peace.

POSTMAN TRUE SANTA CLAUS
Man With the Pack Keeps Cheerful
Despite Hard Work Before and
on Christmas Day.
The poslman’s Christmas Is any
thing hut a holiday, as he Is forced
to work harder on that day than on
any other in the year. For about
two weeks before Christmas he Is
burdened by packages, letters and
postcards, till It seems he can stand
no more, yet on Christmas he must
rush about the city from early morn
ing until nightfall, often without a
minute to rest.
Despite the hard work he enjoys
the day as much or more than any
one. He is brought into close con
tact with the Christmas spirit, and is
proud of his port In distributing Joy
among so many. If while on his route
carrying a bog tilled to the brim with
holiday mall he becomes discouraged,
the feeling Is often dispelled when
he sees the Joy und happiness mani
fested by some child or even grown
person at being the recipient of some
gift he brings.
Usually, too, the persons he meets
while on his rounds greet him with a
cheerful “Merry Christmas,” making
him forget his discontentment at be
ing forced to go without Ills usual
Christinas dinner, or being at home
with his family and watching Ills chil
dren frolic around the Christmas tree.
The name of Santa Claus is appro
priate for the postman. Many gifts,
especially from out of town, reach
their destination through his hands,
and although it Is not recognized In
many cases, he Is the real substitute
for the mythological St. Nicholas'.
Many strange articles find theft'
way into the postmuns hag during
tie holiday season. Neckties and
small pieces of wearing apparel seem
to he most numerous, although chil
dren's toys are also delivered in large
numbers.
This is a brief description of the
postman’s Christmas. It Is true he
has not much time for enjoying the
holiday except at night when he Is
too tired to feel the real Christmas
spirit to any great extent. However,
let every one try to brighten his day
hy at least wishing him a “Merry
Christ lines” w hen we meet him on his
route.
