Preachers Offered
RokeOff on Funerals
As an illustration of his declarn
tion that Graft runs through the
business system of New York from
top to bottom the Rev Dr Fred
erick Lynch of the Pilgrim Congre
gational church New York charges
that the undertaker in many cases
pays a fixed fee to preachers and
sextons for turning over business to
b m
himI
I had been in New York hardly a
month said Dr Lnchwhen an
undertaker came to me and offered
me a rakeofi on every funeral I
would get him Of course they go
to the sextons as well I do not
know whether they have nn agree
ment with the doctors or not
Dr Wiley insists that in a million
years men will freeze to death at
the Equator but we will not let
worry o er that fact keep us from

tbe message of tbe Bells
King ring 0 bells of Christmas tide
Your joyful message far and wide
Through all the lauds proclaim t
This is the blessed Day of days
When here to walk earths troubled ways
The Lord our Savior came
0 not with pomp and splendor fine v
But mongst the lowly sheep and Idne
And cradled in the straw
He came and low the path He trod
Alwaysthe greatest gift from God
An erring world eer saw
As in the dawning eastern skies
The Wise Men watched the Stir arise
That heralded His birth
Thus we await Gods Kingdom come
When man and all Gods creatures dumb
Shall dwell upon this earth
In brotherhood when war shall cease
And Love and Universal Peace
Their banners white unfurled
With tenderness and gentle sway
Their watchword Mercy shall for aye
Prevail throughout the world
Fling out your message O ye bells
Your cadence silvery foretells
The gracious times to be
When sweet Jompasiou angel fair
Oer this our land and everywhere
Shall brood perpetually I

Christmas Greetings
We of the forests wild and beautiful and free
Resting heath the shadows of the spreading tree
Send forth our loving greeting unto thee
We of the ocean huge and powerful or small
Ploughing the waters in their rise and fall
Stand forth our thankful greeting unto all
We of the mountains with their snowtipped crowns
Skipping the fissures where the storm king frowns
Send forth our hopeful greeting Hark it sounds
Tof the n lsafe poised en fluttering wing
Making the heavens with our music ring
Send forth our joyous greeting when we sing
We of the homestead sheltered from the blast
Musing counted to the very last
Send torth our greeting ere the die is cast
Wo of the kennel and the bright warm room
Lounging at ease where the winter flowers bloom
Send forth our greeting ere the shadows loom
We unite in the blessings that are due to those
Who have fought our battles and thus earned repose
And greet we them till life shall close

Dearly beloved The grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all
men instructing us that denying ungodliness and worldly desires we
should live soberly and justland godly in this world looking for the
blessed hope and coming of the gloryof the great God and our SaTior
Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all
iniquity nnd might cleanse to Himself people ucee fable a pursuer ol
good works These things speak and exhort
GOSPEu St Luke ii 1 U
At that time there went out a decree from Crasur Augustus that the
whole world should be enrolled This enrolling was first made by
Cyrinus the governor of Syria And all weat to be enrolled every one
iota t his own city and Joseph also went up Irotn Galilee out ol the city
of Nazareth into Judea to the cityof David which is called Bethlehem
because he was ot the house and fumilof David to be enrolled with
Mary his espoused wile who was with Child And it came to lass tlmt
when they were there her days were accomplished that she should be
delivered And she brought forth Her firstborn Son and wrapped Him
up in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a uunger because there was no
room lor them in the inn And there were in the seine country shepherds
watching and keeping the night watches over their flock And behold
an angel ol the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone
round about them nun they hared with great fear And the angel said
to them Fear not for behold bring you good tidings ol great joy dm i
shall he to all the people for this defy is born to you a Savior who is
Uinst the Lord in the city ol David And tins shall be a sign unto you
You shall find the Infant wrapped in swaddlingclothes and laid in UI

THE FIRST GLAD CHRISTMAS DAY i
I Thou blessed Christ of Bethlehem I
O when Thou in the manger lay
Upon that first glad Jlirisnms day I
I We think the birds inure sweetly I
sing I
I The little lambs did sof tiler blunt
Thy worshippers more gently trod
To lay their treasures at Thy feet
And een the rose in richer red
A finer rarer perfume shed
Throughout the earth in every place
All things did know some added
grace
hat first glad Christinny Day I
For all Thy ways were gentleness
Ever as fitting Marys Child
Thy speech most pure Thy manner
mild
And in Thine eyes shone love divine i
I For every helpless living thing
Thy touch that health and life i
restored
I Scorned not the bird with broken
blOkOnlwing
And we who now would serve thug
best
And choicest gifts would otter Thee
Should follow Thy dear footsteps
blest
In teiulnr helpful ministry
I On this and every dnI

That they may join in pudsingI

The donkey scorned illtreated I
Though marked with Holy Sign
Kneels down amid the darkness
To hall tho Child Divine
For he like kind and horses
Was in that cuttlestall

The King and Lord of all
The sheep upon the hillsides
Turn eastward kneeling low
In memory of the Angels
At liethlehom long ago
And shepherds by the sheepfold

Oh say did you see by the dawns I

that decended and lay under foot
and mussed up the landscape footI
great gobs of soot The kiddies are I

weve got to have weather whether I
frigid or hot The poet would say
that Old Winters hand had taken a
brush and painted the land a glori

Not being a poet we hasten to say
as we glance out of doors and sum
up the day that winter was
striken with bad writers cramps
