Awas going to Bethlehem town
Upon the earth 1 cast me down
All tmderneat6 a little tree
'nut whispered in this wise to Ines —
",Oh. 1 shall stand on Calvary
And bear what burthen saveth thee!"
As up 1 fared to Bethlehem town
1 mat a shepherd coming down,
And thus he quoth: "A wondrous sight
-lath spread before mine eyes this night.
An angel hat most fair to see,
That ming full sweetly of a tree
That shall uplift on Calvary
What burthen saveth you and me."
And u 1 gat to Bethlehem town,
Lo, wise mien came that bore aaown.

"/_ there," cried 1, " hem
A King shall wear this diadem?"
"Good sooth," they quoth, "and it is he
That shall be lifted on the tree
And freely shed on Calvary -
What blood- redeemeth us and thee."
Unto a Child in Bethlehem town
The wise men came and brought the crows,
And, while the infant smiling slept,
Upon their knees they fell and wept,
But with her babe upon her knee,
Naught reeked that Mother of the tree
whit on Calvary
W4tat butte en saveth all and me.' i
Again 1 walk in Bethlehem town
And think on him that wears the awns.
1 may not kiss his feet again
Nor worship him as 1 did then.
My King hath died uponthe tree
And hath outpoured on Calvary
What blood redeemeth you and me.

OBSERVING CHRISTMAS.

IN many childless, homes in this

pas custohs and devices, in no home,
from palace to hovel, however old or
poor, are the members wi`hout their
Christmas tree at Yuletide. When
there are no children 1t hs a beautiful
sight to see gray hatred old men anal
promen, with perhaps their married
pans and daughters and grandchildren,
standing around, greeting with undis-
guised
ndiesguleed delight their well laden dr tree.
It is an essential part of their Christ-
mas and would not bio Christmas with

'oyment was derived from a Christ-
mas celebrated in childish stele by a
family of adults. During the preen".

in-law had been added to the family
group, and the other members were a
father, a mother, a dear old maiden
aunt, the two married children. two

CNRI$TMA$ APPEAL
FOR
The Hospital for Sick Children
---
14 ar %Ir. Editor,—
Thanks for your kindness in allowing
u:e :be privilege of appealing at this
Christmas time on behalf of the
Hospital for Sick Children. Toronto.
I make this direct appeal to the
: rople of Ontario, for the fathers and
mothers of Ontario, owlide the City of
Toronto, have precisely the same claim
for their sick children as regards the
privileges of the Hospital, as parents
woe treed• to kola city.
In br`ef the stet children from any
;,!ace in Ontario whose parents cannot
Afford to pay. 1s. on certillcate from a
mnulcipal officer of any city, town,
tillage or township, treated free.
This is a privilege not granted by any
ospital le the Dominion, or on this
(H'Ott inent.
Let me, in a few words, state that in
•he last 20 years, since 1891, there have
been 4.731 patients from 450 places
.tutride of this city treated free, as the
psrcnts were unable to pay for treat-
ment. Last year 3x4 patients from 234
Maces outside Toronto were ao treated
The Hospital is not a city but a
Prot Imetal Institution. The Corporation
of Toronto grants itn,4.100, not only for
city children, but towards the mainten-
ance of every patient in the Hospital.
and the Ntfeens of Toronto donate tin
average of 110.000 to the tsaintenance
fund of the Hospital. -
1t would take more space than you
cat spare t0 toll of t11• good work done
for the sick and deformed children of
this Province.
Why. in the Orthopedic department
'n 20 years, nearly tee children. boys
and girls, have been treated for club
:eel. and about 100 wen corrected.
Two-thirrs of these rime from places
outside Toronto. from pare•ts who
mold not afford to pay.
Surely we have a fair claim for help
