In song and story and in the pop- ’ular imagination the fleet and grace- ful reindeer have had a large part in the picture of true Christmastide. Santa Claus, the great friend of the 'children, is always pictured at the time of the Children’s festival with his sleigh, his jolly rotund figureâ€"- and invariably, his reindeer. Because of this association, , and because, too, of the general generos- ity and good-will of the season, it will be interesting to know of a gift of reindeer that promises to bring Christmas joy and year-round com- fort to a people hitherto but little used to either. Luv â€"v°â€" â€". -,, but they have to be kept as no other means of transportation‘is available for the winter season. With the advent of the reindeer, however, it is hoped‘to change all this. The dogs will likely be destroy} ed throughout the district.

Perhaps you may never have thought of reading it merely as a! piece of literature. We look on it as! an inspired book and one that ought not to be criticized, but literary crit- ics have examined ,it carefully and have been compelled to admit that no author has ever given expression to higher forms or poetical composi- tion than those found in the PsalmS. They can ever be put in metrical forms without the slightest change. If it is a question of dramatic ac- tion, the Book of Job has never beenI surpassed. The whole Bible abounds! in pictorial imagery, vividneSs of ex- pression and clear conception, and yet withal is so simple that a little child can understand and delight in its wonderful stories. Now add to that the religious and moral teach- ings of the Bible and we have the book that has lived the longest, been read the most, and has done most good to the world. We greatly re- gret to say that it is not read and studied as much as it ought to be.‘ Careful perusal of the B.ble ought to be not only a duty. but one of our greatest pleasures. Next, we say, form the acquaint- ‘ance of our poets. There are some to whom poetry appears dry and un- interesting, but it is quite possible to cuiuvate a love for poetry, 'land the pleasure gained afterward is more] ithan a recompense for the labor. To‘ such we would say begin by reading! some of the simpler poems of Long-i fellow, or of Whittier, the Quaker, poet, and then gradually come to thOSe of deeper meaning and ‘ more complicated metre. Milton and Shake speare wrote poetry three hundred years ago that is still worth con- stant study and endless research. The poems of Milton conform to the old classical models, and for that reason Come down to our modern poets. Tennyson and Browning. Who that has ever read the life of Lord Tennyâ€" “In Memoriam," written 'for his own son can fail to be interested in his personal comfort after he lost his dearest friend, Arthur Hallam? The poem is composed of 131 shorter po- ems, each one dealing with some spe- cial phase of his grief, ,or recalling the memory of their happy life before death snatched from his sight the one whom he loyed more than any other human being. And out of ‘ all his grief he rises to the grander and noble: conception of God in His dul- ings with men. ‘ 1 “ 'Tis better to have loved nndloet Than never to have loud at .u."
