Their oTeatnr werw disturbed ky vision of . wreckage and . bundles scattered about At the church party there hatt been a Santa Claus, hut when hi mask dipped down and be put up hi hand to fix It they knew that he was not th real one. There had been three wise men, following star, too, but their white whiskers snd pointed Micks had frightened the girl who were the angel so that they could not sing. And now It seemed though the real Christmas would be a failure, too. It looked that way to other on that dreary evening. It seemed to two traveler who were making their way towards the farm house that they could not keep their closely wrapped bundle dry much longer and (bat the night was very dark indeed. They were very glad to pass the sleeping house and find refuge In the old barn and a bed on the fragrant hay. Their long and weary Journey wa forgotten In the dream that cam to comfort them with pictured hopes, tad they were all unconscious of the peace and brightness that had succeeded the storm. In the house, however, uneonscteu-nes- s had been suspended. Ears strained in vain for alelgh bells, bat s gentle voice had fallen upon them with a huppy Christmas greeting from Mrs. Rosebud (for so they called her) and she had called thera to the Joy of a beautiful Christmas morning. In the colder air there lay a light snow over all the bareneHS of the dny before and It was all ready to sparkle hark the merry glances of the coming sun. But first there gleamed In the pale blue sky and gathering dawn the light of . . i. The Star Waa Resting Just Over Their Barn. the morning star, and as the children looked out of the window of their room they saw that the star was rest-ing Just over their barn. Perhaps there never was a merrier Christmas morning than the three wise children enjoyed that day. It wasn't merely because the stockings had grown big and bumpy through the night It wasn't only because they could even smell the Christmas tree through the crack In the parlor door. It wasn't the new hair ribbon, the Dutch apron, the small pair of scissor tied with blue ribbon and the small pair tied with red rlhbon, the angel cake, the box of "Creole" candy, the new skates, the extra doll "Fancy." It wasn't all these or the play house, or the pencil sharpener, or even the writing case that made one of the ec-static youngster say, "Next Christ-mas, when old Bunt' come down the chimney, I'm going to make him kneel down, then I'll whisper In bis ear: 'You old Santy Fatcake!" And It wasn't every blessing of the day that made them thankful enough, for, pull-ing an orange out of her stocking, one of them was beard to say, "Santa, you're giving me too much fruit" But It was something sweeter, greater and more beautiful, something that was in the under thought of all their hearts and that was preseutly to be In their experience, for, as they ran down te the barn, carrying their new treasure along to play with them on the barn floor, they heard a movement and a strange cry behind the barn door. And, when they opened the door,, there upon the hay were the traveler, the old man with the kindly look, the lovely one who seemed to be bis daughter, and the unbundled baby, smiling so deeply and so sweetly. It wa the-- baby that was the best of all. It was the baby that sat by the table In the high chair, with little gifts before him. It wa the baby that made the feast so great-ly good for them all and caused them to give thank for the star that de-spite the storm and cloud, had led them to their barn. It was the baby that Inspired the prayer of one of the children that Christmas night when she said, "We know you sent your little baby Jesus for us to love. 80, merry Christmas, God !" ri Aarm vVenf Off J "Just ha 1 wks.aboot to scoop tip the peck of fJO Mils n ptnk tlephant stepped on ray banrt,'-nopti- t me In hi trunk, to(ti me high Into the air, tad J allgljlwl In a Jn containing two large cerise-colore- d lions, who ad-vanced with Jaws open, and then the alarm clock went off.

METHODIST NOTES The Christmas season in the church life was characterized by a refreshing interest. Good crowds were the rule and the services were in every way a success. " ? The Children' program was of a high grade arid the attendance was gratifying. The offering1 which will be applied to the Christmas offering which is taken in all the Methodist Sunday school was also ' generous, amounting to almost twenty dollars. During the Christmas season the various societies husied themselves with the needy sick 'and shut-in- s of the camp. Tuesday the Juniors went to the Bingham hospital and provided every person in the hospital, patients and staff, with some token that car-ries with it hte interest of each mem-ber of the Junior league. ' Each shut-i- n was remrmb'-re- by a present and Christmas tree. They not only wish the people thus in need of attention "A Happy Christmas," but they actually take the little remem-brances that bring the happiness. The Epworth league are planning to go carol singing Christmas morning and return to the church for the brief Christmas service and breakfast. It is planned to have a watch-nig-service at the church Wednesday eve-ning, at 10:30 p.m. Special singing and a New Year's message. Regular services will be held this coining Sunday, U a.m. and 7:45 p. m. Epworth league at 6:45 p.m.' The Community Methodist Church will continue to serve the Community as heretofore. We merit your sup-port in the New Year as we sought to merit it in the year that is fast closing. To each and to all the pas-tor extends his best wishes for a very happy New Year. OOGIB OOGIE WAH WAH TJEAM TO PLAY AGAIN, Preparatory to the Jordan game which will be played here Friday eve-ning, January 9, the Oogie Oogie Wah Wah team will line up against the high school quintet for a practice game of basketball Monday evening, January 5, according to Coach Thom-as McMullin of the High School five. The game will start at 8 sharp, and will be for blood, from what manager Tommy Porter of the Oogie's has to say, as the Wah Wah lads are still smarting from the defeat of last Mon-day evening when the younger play-ers won a bitterly fought contest, 38 to 37, after five extra minutes of play. For those who do not know the Oogies, it might be well to mention that the club is composed of high school graduates, thus assuring the fans a fast as well as clean game or basketball.
