"They presented unto him gifts"

MARY I. MESECHRE

One of the gifts the Wisemen brought to the little Lord Jesuswas gold;Poured they out at his baby feet a treasure of wealth untold;Naught recked he of the wealth they bore—nor yet doth he care to-dayFor golden store, save grateful hearts their gifts on his alter lay.

Gratitude

EDITH L. PERKINS

Now would we thank Thee, Father, for this day,Wherein to overcome, to watch and pray;Untiring in our efforts to effaceEarth's concepts false, vain theories displace,With endless patience weighing every thought,Except of Thee, rejecting each as naughtUntil, with mortal self so sacrificed,We gain a clearer vision of the Christ.
