Storm-beaten ad hungry for bread Seeking a room and a candle light And a clean though humble bed Who would welcome the Workman in, Though He came with panting breath. His hands all bruised and His gar ments thin This Workman from Nazareth Would rich folk hurry to bind His bruise And shelter His stricken form? Would they take God in with His -. muddy shoes Out of the pitiless storm? Are they not too busy wreathing their 1 flowers Or heaping their golden store Too busy chasing the bubble hours For the poor man's God at the door? And if He should come where church men bow, Forgetting the greater sin, Would He pause with a light on His wounded brow, Would He turn and enter in? And what would He think of their creeds so dim, Of their weak uplifted hands, Of their foolish prayers going up to Him Out of a thousand lands? ( Hearst's International. AT CHRISTMAS.

From Bethlehem and angel song melo dious O, Golgotha, how short the way to thee, From "Peace on earth" to wild mob a clamor, odious,. And to thy Place of Skulls dark Calvary! He was not lost; the tomb brought resurrection; The fearsome cross proved but an interlude: Hence through the years, when free from sin's infection, Each sorrow bears its own beatitude. Thanks be to God! For, as we work and listen -Where whirlwinds of poetry never cease; - Like some bright sunbeam in a dreary prison Through the fierceturmoil breaks - the song ofpeace . Hope on, work on! E'en dungeon walls will crumble; At last each cell be filled with living light; Forever stilled tbe wild tornado's rum ble; And heavenly music floods our Christmas bright.
