CHRISTMAS CANDLES
The Christman candles were alight. Burning steady and brave and bright. “I wonder now," said the littlest one, (He had burned all day and was almost done) “I wonder why,” he puzzled said, ‘■The stockings hang beside the bed? And why are the Christmas presents tied With so much secrecy and pride? And such aa exciting smell of spice. Telling of puddings and all things nice!” “Why, don’t you know,” the others said, (They were gold and green and blue and red),
‘•Don't you know that oa Christmas morn The little Saviour-child Is born? So everyone on that happy day Is kind and good and very gay. And that is why wo are alight To make the Christmas morning bright.” “I have given my light," cried the littlest one, (He flickered and sighed and was almost done), “I have given my light for the Christmas King, I have lightened the heart of everything.” And the other candles smiled and said, •‘The spirit of Christmas Is never dead.” Prize to Mary Greig (15), Wanganui.
