CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
At Christmas time the whole earth rings The tidings glad to spread, From every tree each small bird sings To the white clouds overhead. The leaves are whispering on th*e trees, Green ferns the message pass; The words are caught up by the breeze And rustled to the grass. The Christmas message is one of love. Of comfort and quiet rest, Of peace and goodwill from One Above, "Unto human creatures blest. .—'MATE. TRADE WINDS, M.G., L.8.H., Timaru.
THE HOLY BABE
Little soft and downy Head In a bed of hay. By His side sat Mary, Fair as the dawn of day. Rare gold and frankincense, Brought shepherds from afar, Through the night they travelled, Guided b"y a star.
The shepherds knelt and worshipped, Beside His humble bed, His little hand was raised to bless, A nimbus crowned His head. —LEONIE LEWIN (aged 11), , 11 Warrington street, St. Albans.
