many angels had come to tell the good news; and the star grew larger and
brighter; it was so glad。 When the angels had gone back to Heaven; the
shepherds said; 〃Let us go and see this child。〃 So they left their flocks
sleeping on the hillsides; and took their crooks in their hands and followed
the star; which travelled on and on till it led them to the little stable in
Bethlehem; when the Baby Jesus was cradled in a manger。 Then the star
moved on again to a country far away; where some good; wise men lived。
They saw the bright light; and noticed the star moving on and on; as if it
were showing them the way to go。 So they; too; followed the star till it
rested above the birthplace of Jesus。 Then the wise men went in and gave
their best gifts to the baby; and they and the shepherds knelt and thanked
God for sending the little Christ Child to be the best Christmas present the
great world ever had。 The star watched over them; casting a peaceful light
over all。 At last the dawn came over the hill tops; and the star went away;
far back into the blue heavens; to tell the other stars the story of our first
glad Christmas day。

BUTTERCUP GOLD AND OTHER STORIES
Love's Garden
There is a quiet garden; From the rude world set apart; Where seeds
for Christ are growing; This is the loving heart。
The tiny roots are loving thoughts; Sweet words; the fragrant flowers
Which blossom into loving deeds; Ripe fruits for harvest hours。
Thus in our hearts the seeds of love Am growing year by year; And we
show our love for the Saviour; By loving His children here。
