Singing on
the Rails
s Toward evening, the passengers in the dome car
of the speeding train were growing bored. The
most restless were a little 4-year-old girl and her
6-year-old brother. Their mother, who had kept
them entertained all day, was quite weary.
So, when the little girl came and stood near my
seat, I invited her to climb up beside me to relieve
the monotony. Chattering like a squirrel, she sud
denly announced, ."I can sing 'Let the Blessed
Sunshine In'" and, without further encourage
ment, stood up on the seat and started singing.
Her brother, not to be outshone, ran up, joined
in. I put aside my adult pride, and timidly added
my inaccurate alto to their childish sopranos.
Next, their mother smiled and sang with us. Then,
one by one, the other passengers looked up,
laughed good-naturedly, and joined in. Soon the
whole car was harmonizing "Let the Blessed Sun
shine In," and our spirits were lifted mightily as
the train sped westward into the setting sun.

Our city policemen and firemen are privileged
to ride the buses free to and from their stations.
Most of them, of course, thank the driver when
leaving or exchange some pleasantry with him.
I have noticed one fireman, however, who al
ways adds a warm "Good luck!" to his "Thank
you." It seems such a nice gesture, particularly
when today's heavy traffic makes driving so
hazardous. Gertrude Annal, Altoona, Pa.
Fare
Enough!
Without further en
couragement, she stood
up and began singing.

. . . the kitchen is rich with the smell of baking. Bits
of tinsel sparkle on the living-room floor. Now that
everything is beginning to be ready, I should be cleaning
and dusting.
I cannot. I sit surrounded by the warmth of Christmas
and emotion as rich as the cookies and bright as the
tinsel.
There is delight in spending time with the little things
of this season, moving the brass candelabrum from the
piano to the coffee table and back again to admire the
effect, bringing down the china cherubs from the bed
room to become the perfect foil for the candles.
And buying the tree . . .
It's small. It was one of the cheapest ones at the super
market, but when I saw it, I knew it was to be mine.
Now it stands in the sunlight of the windows and it is
clothed in ropes of beads with little gold ornaments at
its fingertips. There are only a few ornaments this year
but they were selected with loving care. My tree takes
pride in them.
The Christmas angel is bright beside the green plant.
The twin white tapers will cast a gentle light across the
piano keys. The house is quiet, waiting for the day of
all days, the night of all nights. And we are happy, the
house and I.
So even though there is only the Winter wind to keep
me company, I am not alone. Somewhere from inside
me and my house is the sound of music, the tinkle of
bells, the anticipation of love and laughter and peace.
There will be no lights this year for the tree. The
presents beneath it will be few. And the generous dreams
of shopping and baking have fallen prey of the budget
and suffered accordingly.
Yet in this stillness surrounded by these few symbols
of Christmas, I am filled with a joy which cannot be
bought or sold, only given or received.
For my tree will be lighted by a Star and my heart by
the greatest Gift.
