In the Christmas (Pecember) Scribner On Christmas Eve 'mid all the joy ous glee That in my plenteousness surrounded me, I happened by some chance to turn mine eye Out through a window-wreath that hung near by. And as I glanced through it into the night I seemed to see, lit by some holy light, A childish face with wistful," smiling lips That thrilled me to my very finger tips. Two eager hands stretched forth call ed. as In stress. To me to carry help to Helplessness, And in the sad eyes of that child I saw In all its loveliness the Christmas Law— Not a command, no everlasting must Upon Reluctance for its teaching thrust, But just a pleading hint to him who runs That all who suffer are God's Little Ones! Ane then the picture in the wreath was gone. And in its place the Eastern Star 'jeams shone— The same that nineteen centuries ago Led on the Wisemen with their heavenly glow; And e'en as they I wandered through the drifts And into lowly places carried gifts To cheer, and give release, and pay my due Unto my Lord thro' them that suffer rue. AN EVENING THOUGHT If a man will not know his sins, his sins will know him; the eyes which presumption shuts, com monly despair opens.—Thomas Adams.
