day cheer to our wonderful friends.

natronage.
MAY THE
BLESSINGS
OF THE
HOLIDAY
SEASON
BE YOURS
If you give the customary toast at
holiday tune, you are carrying on a
tradition going back hundreds of
years, to the wassail bowl
At ihai time, the daughter of a Ger-
manic chieftain offered a gold cup fill-
ed with wine to the host of a reception
held in her father’s honor She told the
host. "Waes had hlaford Cyning." or
Be of health. Lord King "
The practice of drinking a wassail
quickly became popular Those who
could not afford the fine wines of
nobility used hot oil. sugar, nutmeg
and ginger, topped wnh toasted bread
Gradually, a drink to one's health
L 'came known as a toast*
Here s hoping
you all have a
very merry

Christmas
Bells
I heard the bells on Christman Day
Their old. familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
w
And though how. as the day had
come.
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-w ill to men!
w
Till, ringing, singing on its way.
The world revolved from night today .
A voice, a chime
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men'
w
Then from each black, accursed
mouth.
The cannon thundered in the South.
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth. g<xxi-will to men!
w
II was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent
And made forlorn
The household born
Of peace on earth, gixxi-will to men'
And in despair I bowed my head;
‘ There is no peace on earth."
I said;
“For hate is strong.
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and
deep.
“God is not dead;nor doth he sleep' ”
The Wrong shall fail.
The Right shall prevail.
With peace on earth, gixxi-will to
' men!
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
God bless thy year!
