WHEN THE CHRIST CHILD CAME.
By Laura Spencer Portor.

Remember the snow of that blessed night; i
And the holly so red—like warming flame, |

So little a child He was to come

To a world of strife, from a heavenly

And His love was a thing to warm you So,
You took no heed of the frost and snow.
And it lighted a fire on every hearth;
In old and young it enkindled mirth;
His love and pity hung gifts for all,
In hovel and hut and in castle hall.

So the angels sang,

O’er the ramparts of heaven, of His return.
Twas Azreal only who knew the thing
That must come to pass; and he did not
sing.
For ‘twas only he who knew death’s sting,
And the woe of the earth, and its sorrow-
ing,
For ’'twas only he across heaven’s track
Might ever go to guide Him back.
And this was the knowledge that lay along
The flute of his voice and stopped its song.
"Twas the thought of this which upon the
flute
Of his heart lay trembling, and made it
mute.

But even as he stood, it seemed he heard
His loved little Master's spoken word
Come winging, singing, “O Azreal!
"Tis well that I came to the earth, ’tis well;
Be glad, O Azreal, glad indeed,
That I came to a world in such sore need!”
Then Azrael folded his wings. No word
He spake of the mystical thing he had
heard ;
But when the rest wondered and waited in
vain
Tor their loved Little Lord to come again,
And questioned, then answered them
Azrael:
“Peace, Brothers!
Tis well!”
On Earth is Peace!
Oh, sometimes, I rest me and sleep and
dream
Of a heavenly place by a heavenly stream,
Where angels dance by a Living River
Of sapphire waters that gleam and quiver,
"Neath jeweled branches drooping forever;
White-footed angels treading a measure
Of delicate music to infinite leisure;
Gentle and bending, returning, complying,
Like winds of the morning in meadows
undying.
And I dream not less, of a Heavenly Child,
Whose ways are gentle, whose eyes are
