And rain - rain can be lovely ta beel, to see, to hear. I do not mean test there is anything pleasant about getting soaking wet, but a mlst of rain on your face Is good for tee soul as well as tee complexion. And don't you feel like a Sultan as you sit warm, dry and secure, llstening t thee "ceaseless roar and pelting"' of thee rain on tee roof. Many writers have described rain in its variaus moods and seamons; here la a quo- tation test is as vivid as red on green: «"a thick, ponderous, straight rain that talked teroatily as it feU." Day by day, gray wite mist or bright wite sunshine on bare, black trees, on brown fields, we approach Christmas, tee greatest festival of ail, because it cele- bratestee birte of Christ. Let us be cahù, and tremendously teank- fui that we have the privileges of a Christian country, teat we can give presents, and go ta church and sit down at *a snowy table laden wite good teings ta eat. Let us nat forget in tee hustle and bustle of comniercialized Christmas, what the day really means. And let ul remember that tels la Christmas in war time, a sad time for many who are parted from friends and families, and a teoughtful time for aIl the world. If we are wise, we will appreciate tels' festive season wite its warmth of friendship, lis beauti - fui music, its child-like thrilled expectancy, more than we ever have before. Little Dick was fond of white meat; Katie rather liked the teigh; How we battled for the wishbone, the others, two and three. Father had a fancy that a îeg was just the thing, And at last wauld came dear ma- ther, meekly asking for a wing. Oh, the gravy and plum pudding, what contentment used ta glow In tee faces 'round tee table where we gateered happy children, The good aid Christmas dinners cooked for hungry, happy chiîdren, By mother in the long, long ago.
