West- Church The of quaint and old- fashioned like llie village over which it presided Its were Ihe beat ing of winters it little tower vto surmounted by four spindling jwsts like the tegs of a table turned heavenward its staring win dows were adorned with curtains of yellow cotton its uneven and desolate churchyard strewn with graves and snowdrifts occupied a bleak hillside looking out across the hay to the lonely heights of Mountain Down the long slope below the church straggled village halflost in the snow and whittled over by the winds of the Hay of Second was an outlying corner of the lectors expansive parish and a Christinas eve service there was an event almost unparalleled To give Second this ser vice the rector had forsaken his prosperous congregations at West- and Dorchester driv ing some eight or ten rnifes through the and solitude of the deep Dorchester the choir at Wvstcock was not remarkable willingness much less for strength skill ho had brought him fill ten year old nitre to swell the Christmas praises with the nous of her clarionet The tittle church was lighted with oil lamps ranged along the white wall between the windows The bare chancel a redcloth covered kitchen in a semicircle of paint- less railing flanked by two towering pulpits of white pine On either tide she narrow aisle were rows of unpainted benches On the left were gathered solemnly the men of the congregation each looking ahead On right were the women whispering and each others bonnets appearance of the rector from the little vestry room by the door should bring silence and reverent attention In front of the womens row stood the and the two benches behind it wereoccupied by the choir the male members of which fat proud of their office but deeply abashed at the necessity of sitting among the women The was no at Christmas decoration for Second had never been awakened to the delicious excitements of the church greening At the rector appeared in his voluminous white surplice He moved and mount the winding steps of the right- hand and as he did so his five- year old son lorsaking his by Lous aide marched and seated hints If resolutely on the steps lie did not fell quite at home in West cock Church The old carol White Shep herds Watched Their Jocks by roie rather doubtfully from the little choir who locked and listened askance at the glittering clarionet into Lou was now blowing softly waa afraid to make at first test she should startle the singers but in second verse the pure vibrant notes came out with con and then for two line the song was little more than a duett be tween Lou and the rectors vigorous baritone In the third verse how ever it all came right The choir felt and responded to the strong sup port and thrilling stitnulous of the in- and at length ceased to dread own voices The little church was glorified Willi the sweep of triumphal t brought it Never before had such music been heard there Men women and child ren rang from their very souls and when iii hymn was ended the whole congregations stood for same seconds as in a dream with quivering throats voice Of the liturgy heir in some measure Thereafter every and chant and carol was like en inspiration and eyes sparkled srilh op nine words over the stove by When the service was people gathered round the door Lous clarionet and pelting little Ted who had by this lime come down from the pulpit steps One old lady gave child two or three brown sugar biscuits which she had brought in her pocket and a pair of red mittens which she had knitted or him as a Christmas present Turning to Lou the old lady said I never nothing like that trumpet of miss I felt like it jut the angels down from heaven with us Their voices was all swimming in a smoke like light up in the hollow of the ceiling Taint a trumpet I interrupted Teddy shyly a clarionet I got a trumpet home I To be replied old lady Indulgently Hat miss as I was sayjog that music of would jest soften the hardest heart as ever was The rector had Just corne from the vesttyroom well wrapped up in furs and was shaking hands and wishing one a Merry Christmas while the sexton brought the horse to the door He overheard the Id ladys last remark as she was bund ling Teddy up in a huge woollen muffler It certainly did said he make the sinking go magnificently tonight didnt it Mrs Tait But I wonder now what sort of effect it would produce on a hardhearted bear if such a creature should come out at us while we are going through the Dorchester woods This rnild pleasantry was deli cately adapted lo the rectors audi ence and the group about the stove smiled with a reverent air befitting the place they were in the old lady exclaimed in haste land parson a be jest scared to I wonder if it would frighten a bear thought Lou to herself as they were snugly bundled in to warm deep puisg as the low box sleigh movable stats is called Soon ihe crest of Ihe hill was pass and the fourposter on the top of Second Church sank out of tight For a mile or more the road Jed through halfcleared pasture lands where the black stuck up so strangely through the drifts that Teddy discovered bears on every hand He was not at all alarmed for he was sure his father was a match for a thousand bears and by the road entered the curious inverted dark of Dorchester woods where all the light seemed to come from the while the trees rather than from the dark sky above them At this stage of the journey Teddy remained under the buffalorobes and went to Steep in the bottom of the pong The horse Jogged slowly along the somewhat heavy road The bells jingled drowsily amid soft push ing whisper of the runners and rector talked in voices attuned to the solemn hush of the great forest Whats that Lou shivered up closer the rector as she spoke and glanced ner vously into the dark woods whence a sound had come The rector did not answer at once lm instinctively seized the whip and tightened the reins as a signal to Old Jerry to move on faster The horse needed no signal but awoke into an eager trot which would have become a gallop had the rector permitted Again came the sound this time a nearer and still apparently just abreast of the out deep in the woods It was a bitter long cry blended with a harshly grating undertone like the rasping fa saw What is it asked lu her teeth chattering The rector Ivt Old Jerry out a gallop he answered Im afraid its a panther what they call around here an Indian Devil But I dont think ihere is any real danger It is a ferocious beasl but will probably give us a wide berth Why wont it attack us asked Lou Oh it prefers solitary victims replied the rector It is ordinarily a cautious and does not un derstand the combination of man and and vehicle Only on tare oc casions has is known attack people driving and this one probably keep well out of our sight However its just as well to get be yond its neighborhood as quickly as possible Steady jerry old boy Steady yourself up too The rector kept the horse well in hand j taut in a short time was plain that the was not avoid ing the party The cries came near er and nearer And breath came quicker and and the rectors teeth began to set themselves grimly while his brows gathered in anxious thought should come to a struggle what was there in the sleigh he was wondering that could stive as a weapon Nothing absolutely noth ing but his heavy 11 A poor weapon thought he ruefully with which to fight a pan ther But he fell in his pocket- with one hand and opened the knife and slipped it under the edge of the cushion beside him Teddy stared in amazement cover ed down in fresh terror as there came an earsplitting screech wild andhigh and long from Lous clarionet- had turned and over the back the seat was blowing this peal desper ate defiance in the brutes face The astonished animal shrank back In his tracks and sprang again into the underbrush Lou turned to the rector with a face flushed with triumph and ihe rector exclaimed in a husky voice Thank Cod Teddy between his sobs complained What did you do that for Lou Lou jumped to the conclusion that her victory was complete and final but Ihe rector kept Jerry at his top speed and scrutinized the underwood The panther appeared again in four or five minutes returning to the road and leaping along some forty or fifty feet behind she His pace was a curious disjointed india- spring which rapidly up on the fugitives Then round swung Lous long in again and at its piercing cry the animal shrank back This time however he kept to the road and the moment Lou paused for breath he resumed the chase Save your breath child exclaim ed the rector as again put the slender tube to her lips Save your breath and let him have it ferociously when he to near The animal came within twenty or thirty feet away and Lou greet ed him with an earsplitting and he fell back Again again the tactics were repeated tried a thrilling cadenza it was too much for the brutes nerves He could not comprehend a girl such a pene trating voice and he could not screw up his courage to a closer investiga tion of the marvel At last the animal seemed to resolve on a change of procedure Plunging into the woods he made an effort to get ahead of the sleigh Old Jerry was showing signs of exhaustion the rector roused him to an ex tra spurt and Ihere just ahead was the opening of Fillmores Blow Lou blow shouted the rector and the panther made a dash to intercept the sleigh it found itself in too close to the voiced phenomenon in the and sprang backward with an angry snarl As Lous breath failed from her dry lips sleigh dashed out into the open A dog bayed angrily from ihe nearest farmhouse and the panther stopped short on the edge of the wood The rector drove into the farmyard and Jerry stopped shivering as if he would fall between ihe After ihe story had been told and Jerry had been stabled and rubbed down rector resumed his journey a fresh horse haying no fear that ihe panther would venture across cleared lands Three of the settlers started out forthwith and following the tracks in the new snow succeeded in shooting the wild beast after a chase of two

ments character each lile would be a psalm of sweeter music than that sung by ihese arteels This in deed is ihe meaning of the song and of the remarkable child and Christ mas- Where on our green earth is there a spot more worthy to be birthplace of such a babe than Bethlehem of Judea Tftis quiet vil lage hangs upon crescent hillside like a birds neat among leave and the circling hills form a natural cradle sheltered from the winds and focusing suns December rays almost any winter night you can stand upon their oriental housetops and see the moon flooding this cradle valley with its silvery halo and watch shepherds now as of old tending their flocks of sheep and goats and so real is the scene that you can ah most hear the angels sing and fancy that hope is anew on a weary world as the morning dawn rises over the uplands east ward The selling of these stored hills is not unworthy of the jewel it bore- Now or eighteen centuries once a year at leash men have turned their thoughts toward the sacred vil lage the sun and the manger and like the wise of the East have laid their gifts and homage at the feet of the newborn babe Christmas day is the best of alt our holidays There is more meaning in it than in any other we celebrate It is cheeriest and has the most reason to be so It is by emphasis a day of the heart and of the home Mother hood and and home and hope are touches of nature that rn3ke world kin What is holier than i motherhood It subdues the warring race of man into brotherhood by its tender memories of years long gone and its ministering of years now

woman watercarriers erect and in single file bear the graceful water Jars upon their The dwellings and furniture are as of old Tt was a hunger at birth and a humble dwelling childhood that the divinehuman babe way intro duced a life that has brought hope and cheer Thus Christmas speaks to man through of the relation ships he sustains and the words it speaks are all men should live for the glory God and for peace among men Christmas is well celebrated in after the example of the first celebration Music is the language of joy Heart joy speaks in the soft murmuring music of the soul when no ear is near home finds ex pression in chorus of rambled voices around ihe hearthstone a nations joy breaks forth in martial hymns or of liberty universal joy demands angelic harmonic Once the sang

one feels who is not remembered The day at home would bring a happy remembrance to every one in family circle If Christmas is made Christmas indeed- the children will not wish to be absent from home on that day and evening It will ever be looked forward to with de light We recall a lovely family who every year their children a Christmas tree But last year the children had got very grown up some young ladies so parents not to have a tree the child ren were so old you know But one and all simultaneously raised pro- teeing voices declaring would not be a bit like home without a Christ mas tree Every parent owes it to his child it is a sacred duty to see to that Christmas shall one of the greenest spots in memory Christ mas is all other holidays Any one of Ihe the may be passed in an
