None too high and none too low for his love to reach. Christ was burn on Christmas morning, till the angels sing When a loving thought is born worth the caroling. For our Savior showed the way, leaving us a leaven, Always at the birth of love carols sound from heaven. Angel songs and flaming star quicken into birth Mercy, pit>. tenderness on our struggling earth. Christ is born in every heart where Hi precepts are; Sing again, 0 heavenly Host, shine, O radiant Star! —Miriam Moore Whitehead. —Series K and H Savings Bonds, bough; now, when held to maturity pay 3%» per cent.
