Then the angels sat down to talk over all that had happened, and what they should do. Should they try longer to find angels? Or must they give up their task? They decided to have another try. A short distance away they saw a number of children standing, looking over into an or- chard. The angels went to them, hoping to find some who were per- fectly white, but after having etam- ined their hands and lips they could not find one who had not spots of some sort. One would not say pray- ers; another refused to obey his par- ents, and some loved to tease thelr sisters so that they could not learn the lessons without terrible hin- drances. All the hands and all the lips were discolored. There were no perfect ones to be found, every one had a spot either large or small. So they determined to go back to thelr home without more trying. They said, ‘good-bye, little children, we will go and tell the King and see what He will say.” Immediately they flew hack to heaven and told the King that they could not find even one sweet little white angel to bring back witn them to heaven. The King sald that He was sorry, very, very sorry, and promised that He would Himself go down to earth and become a little child, that they might see how easy it is to be good when they wish to be, to please their brothers and sisters where. Then bye and bye the angels will come and take all the children up to the King's home, away in the land of glory. “How lovely that will be,” every child will say. Then we shall see the blessed Saviour and the angels, too, and be happy for ever and ever. 1 wish you all a happy Christmas, dear children. THE (hrigtmag fyinnir Celery ana Hazel-Nuts.

One bright morning group angels, white and fair, were seated beneath a spacious trce planning how they should spend the day They suggested a great many things finally decided visit our What shall we do when we get there? it was asked. Look for angels, was the reply. What could ve more de- lghtful than looking for angels! So a and to Was a very long one, because there were 80 many other worlds to ass, but they flew along as quickly as .hey could. While flying along they talked about their prospective visit, wonder- ing if there were any angels there; were they large or small; could they sing; what color wings had they; were they v hite and large like other angels, and what did they do. As they had never visited our world no correct answer could be given, so they went on chatting about what might be seen. However, the jour- ney was ended and they began in real earnest to look for angels Wherever they went the most beautiful things you can think of presented themselves to their view, Extensive gardens planted with all sorts of blooming flowers, roses, Miles, honeysuckle, jasmine, tulips and many others, the forests, too, ex- tended beyond their view. So many varieties of trees were grouped to- gether that they were enchanted by the sight, and exclaimed, “how bean- tiful!” There were orange trees, fig, apple and vine trees, which yielded more fruit than could be eaten. Some were tall and looked like tow- ers; others spread out their branches 80 wide that the children could sit beneath them, protected from the hot, scorching sun. As they looked around and saw so many beautiful sights they exclaimed, “How lovely! How glad we are that we came to see this new world!” Although en- chanted with its beauty, there were a great many things which distressed them. One was that of a boy who had lost a limb in trying to steal a ride behind a big wagon which went 80 fast that he could not get a secure hold, so he fell right down and an- other vehicle right behind injured his leg very seriously, indeed. He prom- ised that if he got well he would never try such a thing again. An- other boy was seen who had gone out on a rainy day against his mother's wish, and caught a bad cold. It be- came 80 distressing that the doctor thought he would not recover. Like the other boy he said, “If I regain my health I will not break the fifth com- mandment again.” And his mother sald, “John, 1 hope you will not. Disobedience always pays in sorrow and loss.” The angels felt very anxious be- cause they could not find what they were searching for, white angels, While they were standing together singing was heard which sounded like children's voices. But what ever do you think it was? ‘Not children, as you might suppose, but birds, which sang so clearly that the singing could be heard a long way off. And their plumage was rich and gorgeous be- yond description. “There's an angel!’ one eried after flying a good distance. What do you think It was? Buch a disappointment. It was a white swan gliding smoothly down the river. Even this did not dampen their courage to go on seeking for snow-white angels. A sweet little girl was walking along and one of the angels said, “Are you an angol, little girl?’ She replied by singing, “I want to be an angel, and with the 2d O dear! | Your stand." “O dear!

The child | confessed that she Jad purposely broken the arm of her sister's doll such feelings of sadness, then looking at who knew how kind He was to those who did not love Him was surprised, and learned from Him how to kind, loving and true. By His sweet example He taught boys and girls that it was easler to be good than naughty, and that they were not He did. And He taught something else. What do you think ft was? That when they tried to be good they always felt power come into them which enabled them to practice just what they wished to do. But He did what no one else ever did. He suffered every kind of abuse and insult that men chose offer, to fous blood on the cruel cross, so that every spot and every stain which had her lips they saw stains caused by saying cross word: when she was angry. “O dear! © dear!” sighed the angels. “What shall we do?’ We cannot find any white angels.” They walked along until they reached a large garden where a great mahy chilldren were playing. There was a little boy, seven years old, and they asked him, “Are you an angel, little boy?" Then he began to sing very softly, “1 want to be an angel, and with the angels stand.” “Look at his hands,” sald one of the angels. They are covered with black spots. One was caused through taking his brother's candy without his leave, another through throwing a stone at a schoolfellow, beca ise he laughed at a mist:ke made in the lesson, and one very large one was the result might be washed away. Besides, He cleanses the heart so that they think good things and wish to do them, and they pray every day "Create within me a clean heart, O God,” because of which they always avoid doling things which will make them sorry. They help their sisters to learn thelr lessons and say kind words and do kind things for their friends. Then when they die Jesus sends His angels to take them to His home in the sky. Now, the angels are glad that they came to see our world, and that the Son of God came to save it from the results of wrong-doing. 1 feel sure that every child who reads this story will wish to make every one as happy as they oan, and to do as Jesus did, 80 that when He looks down from Christmas Piles, | Mince ple has an especial claim | to a place at the Christmas dinner Our forefathers called it Christmas ple.
