MY WISH
FOR YOU
My wish for you is no
simplething, though it
may be expressed in the
simplest phrase of the
whole long year: Merry
Christmas! But behind
that expression lies . the.
meaning of health, hap-
piness,prosperity and all
the good things that life
can bring.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet, ;.
And it was Christmas Day;
Master Jack Horner
Out of his corner
Hurried, a game to play;
And all the king's horses, and all the
king's men,
Gathered about to watch them then.
Little Miss Muffet
Leaving her tuffet,
Because it was Christmas Day,
Played -Puss in a corner
With Master Jack Horner
And the Three Blind Mice were gay-
While Peter the Piper and Little Boy
Blue
Danced for the Woman Who Lived
in a shoe.
Little Miss Muffet
Gave half of her tuffet,.
For it was Christmas Day,
To little Jack, Horner
Who ,came from his corner
To scare the spider away;
And every cloud has a silver rift,
If a Mother Goose is your Christmas
gift.
Ghostly Christmas Bells
to Greet Merry Yuletide::
Amongst, the bells which will ring
ut to greet the coming Yuletide will
be many ghostly peals, heard on no
lother night in the year; for tradition
says that the bells of 'all buried
churches join the chorus every Christ-
mas eve.
There are the bells of Raleigh, once
a prosperous village in Nottingham
=hire,, now only a country valley. Alt
sign of habitation was swallowed up
many years ago by an earthquake, It
s said that every Christmas eve the
Bells of the oId church are heard to
ring again. A legend of this kind is
told' of a country church near Pres-
ton, the very name of which nobody
knows.
In Holland the story of the city of
Been is told' every Christmas. This
wonderful place was famous for its
magnificence and beauty, and also for
;tts wickedness and shamelessness.
One day the whole, city was swallow-
ed up by the sea:.`
The submerged bells of Dulwich,
now covered by the sea, are said for
join the ghostly chorus,
A TREE AT CHRISTMAS
." • By Florence B, Steiner
Dear Lord, .1 know 'ttvas on a tree
lien nailed Thy Son for all to see
The end ---through guile and cruelty—
Of One who walled taith spirit free.

Iicdecked with gifts and garlands gay,

At the sad part a tree did play.
Yet though all trees n ust Aare the
shame,

Since by our growing we acclaim
'by mighty power and holy name,
And as our branch each tet hard
