As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour to Thy lowlybed, e , There to bend the knee before Thee Whom Heav'n and earth adore; So...may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy -seat. As they offer'd gifts most• rare At Thy cradle rude and. bare; - So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee our Heavenly King. Holy Jesus, every clay Keep us in the narrow way; And. when earthly things are past, Bring bur ransom'd souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy. glory hide. In the Heav'nly country bright Need they no created light; Thott its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There' for ever may we sing AIleluias to our King. Amen. This hymn has been acclaimed by Roundell Palmer, afterwards Lord Selborne, most valued ofhymnolog- ical critics in the following terms: The most favorable hopes' may be entertained of the future of British hymnology, when among its recent fruits is a work so admirable in every respect as the Epiphany Hymn of Mr. Chatterton Dix . . . "As with glad- ness m lad-ness.n en of old.' If we bear in mind the famous St. Augustine's definition of a hymn—a song of praise with prayer to God— we shall have no difficutly in account- ing for this enthusiastic commenda- tion. First of all as is only becom- ing to sinful mortals upon earth, we have supplicating prayer based upon revealed truths, in verses one to three. Then our enpresged desire for the help of our blessed Saviour in the course of our earthly pilgrimage in verse four. Verse five concludes the song with aspiration for ` heaven where lives our God and King, ming- led with praise of Him our light, joy, crown and sun, to Whoin we hope with angels and archangels and all the company to sing Alleluia for ev- rmore. And all through, the hymn main- tains the festival note, aroused by the representatives of the Gentile world coming to meet the Christmas Child, in the person of the Wise Men from the East, led by. the Star of Beth- lehem. 3.lr. Chatterton Dix has left it on record that his hymn was: 'Written about 1860 during an illness,” It was published in a little volume of hymns for private circulation only. This was 'entitled. "Hymns of Love and Joy," and was the first of many publica- -tions by •Mrs, Dix, Compilers were .about that time preparing the hymnal to be :known as Hymns Ancient and Modern, and in a trial copy issued in 1861 our hymn was included, and giv- en place in every subsequent edition of that most widely circulated of all hymn collections in our language. Few hymn -books in the English lan- guage issued since 1861 have been without it, and 'at this time of year it will be sung by the people of all denominations of British derivation all the world over. Dr, John Dix, surgeon of Bristol, Eng., father of our author, was a scholar of great literary distinction. He published "Lays of Rome," "Lo- cal Legends of 13.ristol" and other books, but was best known to fame for his "Life of Chatterton," "the marvelous boy, The sleepless Soul that perished in his pride," as Words- rorth described him. It was ,Mr. Dix who did most to rescue the memory of this brilliant young poet from ob- livion. His admiration for Chatterton Was reflected in the second name he bestowed upon his son William, who is always alluded to as "Chatterton" Dix. This gentleman was born at Bris- tol, in 1837, and educated at the town grammar school, being intended for a commercial carreer. Early in ma- ture life he took to the composition of hymns and poems many of which he contributed to the local newspa- pers. Several of his hymns were writ- ten for Hymns Ancient and Modern, and include such favorites as "Allelu- lia, sing to Jesus," the harvest hymn "To Thee 0 Lord, our hearts we raise, Inhymnsof adoration," "Colne unto me, ye weary," etc. In 1864 Mr. Chatterton Dix moved to Glasgow in the interests of a mar- ine insurance company, and resided in Scotland for many years. He was a welcome contributor to most of the hymnbooks published in his life time, •also to many of the anthologies or collections, of sacred poems. Unlike many hymn -writers his, mind inclined to the cheerful side of relig- ion, and he was in a critical ,stage of sickness when he wrote, or dictat- ed, his great Epiphany hymn, which illnessnot did ]Wince him to cast any gloom over that composition. This cheerfulness is manifest in his other best known hymns, and it is his man- ily sturdiness and determination to ladd to the world's happiness that has made his verses so acceptable in the collections of sacred songs used •in ouran t t ' s c t sites No 'sickly sentimen- tality ever disfigures his hymns -de- signed for public service. After all, people do not go to church to add to, but rather togain relief from their grief, ' through . communication with our God of all comfort and consola- tion. Our hymn happily found a suitable tune in "Dix," specially adapted to it by a clever musician .named C. Kocher, from a German .Chorale, en- titled "Truer 1'ielland," to which it is almost always sung, All Wet Seasick passenger, on friend's yacht -"I say, what about going back?

Rings Lald ' Down the 'raw. Starting a forest fire in the day of $ rederick the Great meant a heavy tine or jail 'sentence, perhaps death, for someone. Excerpts from a proclamation of King Frederick, Berlin, Dec, 8, 1775, show some of the severities in his for- est laws for Bast' Prussia "Anyone starting a fire in orivithin 100 paces of a forest, or using a pitch torch or any fire when fatting or catching crawfish in any lakes with- in. and on streamsor oreelts dowing through a Lorcet, or who smokes to- bacco during the dry summer season within a forest, even though no dam- age is done, shall be punished with a tour -week jail or penitentiary sen- tence, and, if any damage results, shall pay such damage; if he cannot' pay the damage, the period of im- prisonment shall be in proportion to the amount of damage ascertained, up to 100 tha':er ($75), one-fourth year; from 100 to 200 thaler ($75 to $150), one - half year; and 200 thaler and over, one year imprison- ment. "Any person wilfully or malicious- ly starting a fire in a forest with in- tent of damage to such .forest shall be punished with a ten-year peniten- tiary sentence at hard labor, and, up- on establishing the moral responsi- bility, the sentence may be increased even to a death penalty, Anyone .dis- covering and reporting such evil -doer shall receive a reward of 50 thaler." Napoleon also had rigid ideas on the subject of meticulous conduct within the forest, upon one occasion ordering the individuals convicted of having set forest fires to be shot im- mediately. The penalty for wantonly destroying a tree in the time of Ed- ward IV. was death by hanging. One needed to watch one's step in those days. •"DR17NIK AS A LORD." Didn't a..iink There Was Any Teeto. ' tallers In the House of Lords. Some good stories were told by Lord Riddell at the Newsagents' Con- ference dinner at Weston -super -Mare. 'The other night," said Lord Riddell, "I was going home late when I came across two motors in a ditch, and they were standing by an omnibus, the driver and conductor of which were in close conversation. I got out of my car and inquired of the conductoz what was the matter. "He said, 'It's an accident.' I said, 'I know that, but what has caused it?' Pointing to a disconsolate indi- vidual sitting on the edge of the ditch ':he conductor said, 'That's the cause of it; he's as drunk as a lord.' I said, 'Excuse me; young fellow, but I hap- pen to be a lord, although perhaps I don't look like one, and I happen to be a teetotaller.' He looked at the with some contempt and then to the driver he said, 'I didn't think there was any o' them in the House of Lords'." ■ ■ ■ IP ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ UNITED FA4tMERS' CI•OiEtATIVE ■ ■ ■ � � `�iLTED" COMPANY, � ■ A BABY GAZELLE. Occurred Only Once Before In His- tory. of London Zoo. A Marcia gazelle was recently born at the London Zoo, an event so rare that it has occurred only once before since the menagerie was started a hundred years ago. Lizzie, the moth- er, has had the baby all to herself, the father—known as "the Sergeant- Major"—and Daisie, •a rival of Liz- zie's, being considered untrustworthy with the gawky little youngster who, if frightened, would be likely to break its slender legs. ce Though, gazelles are so graceful and diminutive, they are well able to take care of themselves. "The Ser- geant-Major" earned his name on ac- count of his domineering behaviour. Lizzie is a most attentive mother, and after the baby has taken suffi- cient exercise she will , hustle the youngster into the sleeping box by shoving it with her nose. Two Rare Birds. The London Zoo recently received efrom New Guinea two six plumed birds of paradise. These birds carry on their heads the six long, racket - tipped spines which have earned for the species its popular name. On the breast is a metallic hued shield iri- • descent with green, bronze and blue. Save for a silver cushion on the fore- head they are velvety black, making the turquoise blue iris of the eye very conspicuous. If they act in similar fashion to a closely allied spe- cies, the birds will throw out their body -plumes like a skirt, expand the breast -shield, erect their head -plumes fan -wise, and strut about erratically. The Wonder Clock. Do you know that there is, in exist- ence, a clock that faithfully shows, in miniature, the journey of the earth and planets round the sun? As you can well imagine such a clock moves very, very slowly, for it tells how far each planet has•movedsince last you consulted it. Besides this it tells the time, the date, the moon's,age. This clock is in the Royal United Service Institution Museum, and a most remarkable and interesting sight it is too. Superstition and the '.Gree.

Needless to say 1 was very much interested. She went on to say that Christmas used to seem funny without snow but that she was quite reconciled to doing without frost for- ever, Sometimes I could agree with. her very heartily. They say that to dislike winter • is a sign of age. Days that the snow is wet and the child- ren are wet to the skin at least twice, if disliking winter is any sign of age, I am on a par with Methusaleh, Then on the bright, sunshiny, crisp, cold days 1 think that there is nothing to equal them. Last .winter I was very properly rebuked by an English lady for growling about the winter, She said she did not see how any one could mind the Canadian winter, when we get so many days of won- derful sunshine. Let us look into the matter of • Winter Sunshine The rays of the sun are of differ- ent lengths, 'I'he long rays give us heat and color. The short rays are very neeessaryfor health and growth. The medium short rays are e a disin- fectant and the shortest of all is nec- essary for bone formation to prevent Rickets. Theamountof shortra yYs in the the seri varies varies according toeasen of -the year in our. Northern country. In thesummer ffiere are 3 or 4 hours each side of noon in which we get but short rays, bt t in the winter months conditions are different and we get the short rays 'for only 2 to 4 hours in the middle of the day. Atmospheric conditions snake a great difference. Clouds and smoke will absorb all the short rays. Smoke is a great offender. It has always been considered a nuisance, but the harm it does was not realized. Towns situated a few miles out of a city get about 5 times as many short rays as conte to even the tops of the high buildings in the smoke laden cities. Rickets is prevalent to an alarming degree in some of the manufacturing cities in England. There are seasons of the year when they get very little sunshine and even then the smoke absorbs most of the valuable short rays. An hour's exposure to the direct' rays of the sun in an unclouded at- mosphere in the middle of the day will disinfect things. One of the chief reasons whyi e e tea o s cities ess nave so many more contagious diseases, is that .he smoke prevents the action of the dis- infecting short rays. Where 'there is less smoke there is better health. We Shouldmake a practical use o,.f 'this knowledge that the short rays of the sun are only available in the middle of the day during the winter months, It is not enough that the children are out some time during the day but they should have the sun- light in the middle of the day.This is very important for all babies under 2 years—to prevent Rickets, It is not necessary to take your child walking in the middle of the day although both mother and child would benefit, but the baby cart be ; in its carriage eithcr•awakc or asleep in the sun. We live quite close to a school -and some of the pupils are fortunate en- ough to have a very wise teacher. During the Fall and Winter months he takes his classes outside for a few minutes physical exercise, before 2 o'clock. If a sunshiny day comes af- ter a few dull ones, he is almost sure to take them out. In that way they get the benefit of the precious short rays, Ordinary window glass filters out the short rays, so that we need to 'get the direct rays, Sun is an actual ne- cessity for health. So many people walk to work one way for exercise. If they do this at noon they will de- rive even more benefit. Mothers, who know, are giving their children cod liver oil each during the winter. If they can persuade friend husband to take it, and then take it themselves the family's health will be benefited. The other day when I was going the rotund with the bottle of codliver oil, one of the little chums decided that shew ould try ours and see if it tast- ed like hers. She was very proud of the fact that she had taken cod liver oil ever since she •was a baby. . You will find that your children are inclin- ed to a about it too on occasion. d b0 st Childret�i are very proud of an up -to- date mother.
