So the messengers told them that they were to go to the Head Meeting Place of the Tribe and put their marks down on sheets of birch bark and paint the signs with red ochre. It was now winâ€" ter and Josebph felt sorry gebout having to take Mary because she was now so weak. He started a little earlier than the remainder of the tribe, because ns had to go slowly on account of Mary. They took with them her two peis, Topâ€"kan, a young coyote puppy, and Kotsâ€"seâ€"weâ€"ha, her little chipmunk. When thevy had reached the great lake where all the peopie were gathered. they found the lodges crowded and there was not even Aany room in the shelters. Joseph fett: very hurt but he tried to be cheerful, and tcld Mary to rest under a tree and ae would soon find her a quiet plece. He then covered her over with fur robes and searched until he found a little cave. There he carried Mary and went out to. get some fir boughs and sage brush for a bed. | While he was gone a deer and her faun came down from the hills and coming into the cave stood by Mary and breathed on her to keep her warim. Then some jackâ€"rabbits left their home under the wild rose bushes and sat at her feet which made her feol cosy. Soon afterwards a flock of chickâ€" aâ€"dees came flying in, and perching on some pieces of rock, sang their ful songs to comfort her. When Joâ€" seph returned and saw how kind (he creatures had been to his dear wife he no longer felt sad but thanked GoJd for His kindness in sending him such gcod friends in his trouble. The night became clear with many stars and right over the cave there shone the brightest star that has ever been seen in the valley. The animais and birds seeing how tired both Matry and Joseph looked did some tricks to make them feel happier. The rabbits Children‘s Aid Donors Are Named pretended that they were clowns as they jumped about and danced oi their hind legs and then on their [ront ones, at the same time waggling their long ears, while the birds swouped and soared, as they sang in the sweeiâ€" is situated in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia,. The storv grew as each child, varying in age from six to fourteen, made its conciâ€" bution. Thus it represents their ideas of the details of the Nativity had it taken place among their own people instead of in Palestine.

Sir Henry Cole, a man with many friends, was confronted by the task of sending them a cheery holiday greeting. Thae quill pens in use a century ago tered and were irritating, so Sir Henry spoke to Horsley about the mat‘cr. Horsley. a member of the Royal Acsa â€" demy in London, was agreeably imâ€" pressed and turned out an appropriate design inscribed "A Meriy Christmas and a Happy New Year to Edgley and Horsley made beginnings. According to research authoritiee the custom was taken up in America about 30 vears later during the 1870‘s when Louis Prang, a Boston lithographer printed a catalogue of TChristmas carus. No matter whether the greeting is the elaborate descendant of Edgley‘s cr a simple good wish offered in frienmdishin as worked out by Sir Henry and MHorslev, or the glorious echo of the angels‘ enunciation, send that Christmas cerd to the boy in the serviseâ€"â€"and to his loved ones keepingz In 1842 creation was an eleborate affair. Drawn by W. M. Edgley, it inâ€" cludes scenes of a dinner partyâ€"feaâ€" turing the plum pudding, a group of carol singers, a crowd watching a Punch and Judy show, a panel of silkâ€" hatted and caneâ€"toting ice skaters, dancers doing a Roger de Coverlyâ€" the Victorian â€" Congaâ€"and evidence that the poor must not be forgotten. Until authoritiee at the British museum recently discovered a drawing depicting four scenes of holiday celoâ€" brationâ€"early Victorian 1842, J. C. Horsley was accredited with having created the first commerciail Christmas card in 1843. The custom of sending greeting c is perhaps the youngest member in *family of Christmas traditions, though the ideal was expressed by Excelsis Deo of the angels.

But Topâ€"kan and Kotâ€"seâ€" weâ€"ah were used to menfolk so they just sat down, one on each side of the Baby, and waited for , the visiiors, Joseph went outside and asked the newcomers who they were and what they wanted. They told him that after they had put their marks on the birch bark they had returned to their camp to look after their children‘s pets and see that no harm came to them. There was a young mountain sheep, black bear cubs, gray squirrels and some sicks birds that had not been able to fly to the warm south. The men went on to say that they had been sleeping around a fire under the trees when they awoke to hear singing. The heavens were full of Men with Wings, who told them that a Great Chief had been born in a cave near the lake. These men of the Air had also said that they would look after the pets and stay with them until the men returned. Joseph let the men come in on a time. They knelt and looked down on the beautiful Baby, and though they did not speak out loud they told Him all that was in their hearts. The vyoungest man, who was a cripple, then went up and put his pet brown mous® on the corner of the cradle. It stood up on its hind legs, tucked its front feet under its chin and bowed to the Baby. Then it crawled into the lacing near the feet of the Baby, curled up and went to sleep. The oldest mian had brought the prettiest of mountain lambs and laid it at Mary‘s feet. Then, each in turn, went up and shook hands with Mary. After they had warmed themselves at the fire and Joseph had made them some Indian tea. thevy bowed their heads and lef. est way that they could When the hour of midnight drew near all of them formed a wall beâ€" tween the man Joseph and the maid Mary, just at the hour the owl hooted twelve times and the cry of a baby was heard: and all the inhabitants of tae cave bent their heads to he grouno. Then in the heavens a number of Men Joseph then rese and helped Mary wash the baby. They wrapped Hiun in the softest doe skins and tied Him o His beautiful cradleâ€"board, which they had spent many hours making as lovely as they knew how. When they stood Him up for all to see, all ‘the creatures, both feathered and furred, made their own special noise of hapâ€" piness, Although the Baby was so tiny, He was God, so He gave them all a lovely smile to show how pleased He was. with wings sang their songs of praise, while the winged drummers kept up a roll of drums. n the ; / Alâ€" vÂ¥ the THURSDAY, DECEMBER 230th, 1940
