OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
iby Mrs. Elolse Snyder
Joyce Kilmer, who wrote
the poem "Trees”, also
wrote a lovely poem about
Christmas which is called
‘‘Gates and Doors.”
There was a gentle hostler
(And blessed be his name!)
He opened up the stable
The night Our Lady came.
Our Lady and St. Joseph,
He gave them food and bed.
And Jesus Christ has given
him
A glory round his head.
So let the gate swing open
However poor the yard.
Lest weary people visit you
And find their passage
barred:
Unlatch the door at midnight
And let your lantern's glow
Shine out to guide the
traveler's feet
To you across the snow.

There was
hostler
(He is in Heaven tonight)
He held Our Lady's bridle
And helped her to alight;
He spread clean straw
before her
Whereon she might lie
down.
And Jesus Christ has given
him
An everlasting crown.

Unlock the door this evening
And let your gatd swing
wide.
Let all who ask for shelter
Come speedily inside.
What if your yard be
narrow?
What if your house be
small?
There is a guest whose
coming
Will glorify it all.
There was a joyous hostler
Who knelt on Christmas
morn
Beside the radiant manger
Where in his Lord was bom.
His heart was full of laugh-
ter,
His soul was full of bliss
When Jesus, on His
mother’s lap,
Gave him His hand to kiss.
Unbar your heart this
evening
And keep no stranger out.
Take from your soul's great
portal
The barrier of doubt.
To humble folk and weary
Give hearty welcoming,
Your breast shall be tomor-
row
The cradle of a King.
