1 , Gln the Nnrther Zllahg Nineteen Uhitteen Now as the time of year comes 'round again We find your picture still upon each page Of our own book. Your waving hair, wind-blown, Is fanned by northern breezesg yet is your face Aglow with warmth and love. How came you here To this fair land of ours? And were you held Enthralled, responsive to the beauty of our towers? Or was it the frail tendril of our vine That stayed you until we could come and claim You for our own? And since that day we meet You every winter morning as we climb The slippery wind-blown hill. Your chilling blasts Strike roughly 'gainst our faces, yet wake up 9 The sluggish blood within us. Then arise The thrills which make us start and race as if Our spirits would keep pace with you. And will it be so when our school days here Are past and in a place yet strange to us We take a moment from our care and steal A precious glance at our own book? Then from Our store of memories may you waft back The dearest ones. And then into our hearts Will come this thrill of life, endeavor, and Our spirits rise and race again as they Were wont to do in days before. 'Tis this We owe to you, dear Norther Lady.

V. And when the shepherds sought the little child y jk is il f gl j Xnbggf 1 f XXX 1 ' Y X D t X, ry il I v X .ll-J V iv 5 M 7 4 , , HERE is an old and marvelous story that came A 'Jw I out of the wonder and the mystery of the if N, 93 EH East. It says that shepherds were watching Rf C' their flocks by night when suddenly an angel ap- if SP pcared to them and a noontide glory shone round QM N about them. He had come to tell them that a little X A babe was born who should transform the world and X ' X bring ineffable peace and joy into its tumult and fx Ny yy strife. When he had spoken, celestial choirs filled f fix the sky with rapturous singing. Q XJ' N 7 Y ,I they found him cradled in a manger because there was no room for one of such humble estate in the inn. And ever since the world has heard the story, the If' teacher whose heart is quick to answer to the call X of the loving spirit of the universe has fancied P iz? V that again the angels of the night might be singing ' when a little babe was born, even though he might be cradled in a manger because there was no place for one of such low estate in the inn. The vision 3 has crowned each of the little ones to whom he 2 y ol Ci X' may be privileged to minister with a new and w l beautiful dignity and sacredness. K JOHN COOK.
