R. N. ROWE
A LMOST two thousand years ago
** the great emperor, Caesar Augus
tus, sent out a decree that the whole
world should be enrolled. Each one
was to go to his own city; to the place
of his fathers. None were exempt
from the decree.
From the hill town of Nazareth two
people set out tn answer to the sum
mons. One, a tall, bearded figure, his
shoulders sagging under the weight of
years, and from the continued stoop
ing that his trade as a carpenter ne
cessitated. The other, a young and
beautiful Woman, her face aglow with
a strange, sweet serenity. Their names
were Joseph and Mary, and they were
going to the distant town of Bethle
hem. hecause they were of tlie house
of David.
The man walked patiently beside the
plodding donkey on which the woman
was seated. They showed no impa
tience as others passed them by; nor
did they join with any of their fellow
travelers in venting anger against
Caesar for taking them on such a long
and tiresome journey.
perhaps because of Joseph’s age, or
of Mary’s delicate condition, they were
among the last to enter Bethlehem,
and to seek a shelter at the Inn, They
were told that there was no room for

CHILD SVEEKRS BURNS
Agnes Morrison, two-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Morrison,
was terribly burned about the head
and chest when his childish curios
ity prompted him to overturn a pan
cn a table. The pan contained boil
ing lard. As the lad pulled at a
towel on which the pan was resting,
he received the boiling contents full
in the face and chest..
Johnny had been disobedient and
finally his teacher asked him to stay
in after school.
“Johnny” she began, “I have to
mark the report cards this evening.
Now what 'do you think I should do
about yours?”
“Well,” said the youngster, “I
think you really ought to 'go home
and have a good dinner and rest be
fore you mark mine.”

them there. Their humble appearance
made no appeal to the innkeeper on a
night when more prosperous looking
guests were crowding the doors,
Disappointed and fearful, they
sought further. But they could find no
place. Some one spoke of a cave out
side the town. Joseph looked at Mary
and hi^, eyes filled with tears. But she
nodded assent . . . And In that
lowly place, warmed only by the breath
of oxen, Jesus, the hope and promise
of all mankind, was born into the
world 1—Katherine Edelman.
Giuseppe’s Christmas
Was a Grand Revelation
CHRISTMAS was approaching and
Giuseppe was lonesome. There
were others in the school from foreign
lands but no one spoke Giuseppe’s lan
guage.
Christmas had been so much fun In
Italy. In the province where Giuseppe
lived, a tree decked with*oranges was
the center of their Christmas festivi
ties. All the relatives came to a big
feast on Christmas day, and afterwards
old and young danced around the or
ange tree, and, of course, some folks
had a miniature manger with St. Jo-
seph and other figures.
“I don’t see. how I am ever going to
stand it.” Giuseppe told his mother.
But she had smiled and said, “It will
be all right, son. You’ll see.”
Then Christmas preparations began
at school. There were carols to be
sung—carols in five languages, and
Giuseppe was to sing the carols of
his country, all by himself. Giuseppe
wrs very proud. There was a play
with the manger and the wise men,
shepherds, angels and Mary the Vir
gin, and Joseph. Giuseppe could hard
ly believe his ears when he found he
was to be Joseph. And after the pro
gram there was the tree. •
“It was grand, wasn’t it?’-’ Giuseppe
said to his mother and father as they
walked home together, and mother and
father agreed.—Florence Harris Wells.
PURITANS AND CHRISTMAS
THE Puritans regarded Christ
mas as savoring of popery
and preferred their own cele-
bration of Thanksgiving. In
1659 the General Court of Mas
sachusetts enacted that “any
body who is found observing, by
abstinence from labor, feasting
or any other way any such Gay
as Christmas day shall for each
and every such offense be ffhed
five shillings.”
The Green Christmas Tree
In order to keep the tree green all
the time it Is on display, cut a small
piece from the base of the tree so that
a new surface Is exposed. Then set
the tree in its support with a small pan
containing Water in the center so that
the base of the tree is resting in the
water all the time. Add -an aspirin
tablet to the water and prepare to have
a flourishing tree this year.
Crude Toy* for Children
Simple or crude toys like box blocks,
bested cans, floor boats, stick horses,
and sand, often give a child more
chance to use his imagination than do
more elaborate, complex, and expen
sive toys.
Ju«t Like Old Santa
“Don’t bother children tellin* *efn dar
aint no Santa Claus,” said Uncle liben.
“Dey has been bearin’ dat .ever since
dey kin remember, but ’round he comes,
punctual every ^ear, jes’ de same.”

CANADIANS AND THEIR INDUSTRIES —AND THEIR BANK
. DAIRYING •
HENRY:'“Angus, do you ever think of the time
we started this dairy business?”
ANGUS: "You bet I do, Henry. It all started
with me driving that milk route at $20 a month
and board. I worked early and hard for what I got,
but the turn came when the boss was willing to
sell out. The Bank of Montreal knew I was thrifty
from the way my savings account had grown
steadily. They helped a lot by lending rhe some
money—on good security, of course; it gave me
a good start, I still worked mighty hard, but the
profits made me forget I was so tired. We have a
nice balance at the Bank now.”
«
HENRY: "Yes, and you took me in aS a partner
and gradually we worked up to a fine herd of our
own and later a. modern dairy outfit.' And don’t
forget what our wives and children did, Angus.”
ANGUS: "No, indeed! Even the girls joined calf
clubs and borrowed money from the Bank to
buy the first fine stock. They did their bit in
building up our present prize-winning herd,”

Not only are ’the largest dairy concerns in Canada
customers Of the Bank of Montreal, but hundreds
of independent dairy farmers as well. Large and
small, they keep their business deposits and sav
ings at the Baqk and borrow at times for seasonal
requirements. Many of them call on the Bank for
other services, such as credit information, market
conditions. Many of them have their bonds and
