There were nations, who, when the rlaikuexa settled down, cut a green tree and decked It in bright thing to show (heir sods lhat they want ed blossom" and fruils Instead of continuous cold. And when Ihe suu turned back for them, roust they not have believed that there was magic 111 the tree? Shakespeare had his word ahoul lha 1'hiisliiias magic being suiierlo to any other. In his day, such words as "magic and ' mystery were tan en with a literalness we hardly know today Some Bay that ever 'gainst that sea son comes Wherein our Savior's birlh is cme braled. The bird of dawning slngeth nil night long: And then, they say, 110 spirit (lures to stir abroad: The nights are wholesome then no planets strike. No fairy tales, no witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious Is t hi time." And, coming down through the aged to our present day, If Santn Clans Isn't marie, the highest and whitest of high while magic, what Is? Does not the very thought or him, the very pronouncement of his name, turn grouches Into generous givers, warm cold hearts, turn hnrd headed materialists to tender idcall Ists, If only fur the day? Most magical of all, and yet most human and natural, Is Ihe fact that in our time It Is the hlrth or a little child, helpless, almost friendless, In a dim and far-off cave, that stirs our spirits into this rush of Christmas Joy, a joy which is near to tears. And it Is ttie children's laughter, their awe and wonder over Ihe mys tery of Christmas morning, thai touches Ihe deepest springs of hu man emotion, the memories of which nro longpst and warmest In all hearts And If here he magic In memory. In love, in Joy, surely no power cue withstand the white radiance of ilui' one day when the wheels of Hie earth Rlnnd sllll und everything counts as naught save love and hap piness of children. 2 t 5 ATTEND OUR Slipper Sale Complete Stock of Slippers at Reduced Prices.
