CHRISTMAS VERSE
SOME SELECTIONS BY OUR MEMBERS. Who Is It? Who is it eomes hut once a year, And no one knows that he is near, Unless, of course, they chance to hear His sleigh bells sounding sweet and clear? Wlho is it eomes all dressed in red, With snotWy beardj and hooded heia
To watch and wait, I've heard it said, Till everybody's gone to; hed? W;h'o is it eomes and makes no noise, On Christmas Eve, with all its joys, And brings a load of lovely toys, To fill our stockings, girls and boys? — Sent in by Peanut. To a Child. Lady dear, if f airies may Eer a moment lay aside Ctinning tricks and selfish play, 'Tis bappy Christmas tide. f We have heard the children say: Gentle children, whom. we love, Long ago, on Christmas Day, Came a message from above. S'till, as Christmastide eomes round, They remember it again — j Echo still the joyful round, "Peace on earth, good will to men." Yet the hearts must child-like he Where such heavenly guests abide-, Unto children, in their glee, All the year is Christmastide. Thus, .forgetting tricks and play, For a moment, lady dear, We would wish you, if we may, IMerry Christmas, Glad New Year. — (S'ent in by Biddy.
