This is the story of how the fir
tree became the Christmas tree.
.At the time when the Christ
Child was born all the people, an-
imals, and the trees, and the plants
were very happy, The Child was
born to bring peace and happiness
to the whole world. People came
daily to see the little One, and
they always brought gifts with
them.
There were three trees standing
near the crypt which saw the peo-
ple, and they wished that they, too,
might give presents to the Christ
Child.
The Palm said, "I will choose
my most beautiful leaf, and place
it as a fan over the Child."
"And I," said the Olive, "Will
sprinkle sweet-smelling oil upon
his head."
"What can I give the Child?"
asked the Fir who stood near.
"You!" cried the others, "You
have nothing to offer Him. Your
needles would prick Him, and your
tears are sticky."
Now, quite near the trees stood
the Christmas Angel, who heard
all that the trees had said. The
Angel was sorry for the Fir tree
who was so lowly and without en-
vy of the other trees. So, when
it was dark, and the stars came
out, he begged a few of the stars
to come down and rest upon the
branches of the Fir tree. They
did as the Christmas .Angel asked,
and the Fir tree shone suddenly
with a beautiful light.
And, at that very moment, the
Christ Child opened His eyes—for
He had been asleep—and as the
lovely light fell upon Him, He smil-
ed.
Every year people keep the dear
Christ Child's birthday by giving
gifts to each other, and every year
in remembrance of His first birth-
day, the Christmas Angel places
in every house a fir tree, also.
Covered with starry candles it
shines for the children as the stars
shone for the Christ Child. The
Fir tree was rewarded for its
meekness, for to no other tree is
it given to shine uponso many
happy faces.
What does Christmas mean to
you?
Do you celebrate the birthday of
our Lord by putting a fir tree in
your home and put starry lights
on it as the Christmas Angel did
when Christ was born?
EveDo and Cou hristmas
mo hChristmas
to cel-
ebrate
His birth, or you may, even
have Christmas parties at school,
or you may deliver good cheer
boxes to the shutins who can't get
out to go to Church to help cele-
brate His birth. A good way to
deliver good cheer boxes is for the
Youth Organizations of the Chur-
ch to go around delivering them
and singing Christmas Carols to
the shut-ins. But the people who
PAGE THREE
are able to come out should attend
the Christmas pageants put on by
the different churches on Christ-
mas Eve or on the Sunday evening
before Christmas.
Or do you celebrate Christmas
by other means? Parties maybe?
In my case I celebrate two birth-
days on Christmas Day, Christ's
and my own. But I wait until af-
ter I go to Church to celebrate the
birthday of our Saviour before I
celebrate my own birthday, but
others would think of themselves
before Christ on this festive occas-
ion.
