The fact that the "Star in the East," followed by the wise men, made its appearance in Persia, and that Christianity had its birth on that first Christmas night in the land of Syria, makes theae subjects appropriate and interesting at this season of the year.
A very interesting and instructive study on Immigration was given by Mrs. J. M. Baxter.
