Laid Him in a manger;
There He lay, all unaefiled,
To the world a stranger.
Such a babe in such a place-
. Can he be our Savionre
Ask the saved of all. the race
Who have found His favor.
' Angels sang about His birth;
Wise men sought and fenny Him;
Heaven's star shone brfgbtly forth,
Glory all around Mina.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
• Heard the angels singing, •
All the plains were lit with 1001;
All the hills wore ringing.

I Laid Him in a manger
He is still the undefiled,
But no more a stranger."
PROPHECY
1 The prophets afflicting are always
! predicting that evils are coming to
I
pass; the oil we are pumping is bile
led for a slumping and soon we
won't have any gas. The prophets
are wailing _that coal mines are fail-
ing and soon we'll have nothing to
burn; we sit up and shiver from
wishbone to liver, and wish that old
times might return. Our lands are ex-
hausted and huslydndr3t's frosted, and
soon we'll have nothing to eat;
there's not enough leather to make
a good tether, and there'll be no
shoes for our foot. The sheep are not
bearing the wool for our wearing
and we'll have no rags for backs; it's
no world for boosters; our Ilene are
all roosters, our rnillr cows wont
get down to tacks. The gods are a-
gainst us, they've herded and fenced
us preparing to hand us a jolt, the
futur'e alarming, so let us be arm-
ing, for anarchy, riot, revolt. And
yet we're so silty we heed • not the
chilly and omnions words of the seers
