tuned and re-tuned her lit-

and forwards. But they
couldn’t agree on the music.

Wink, with what Blink
considered very poor judg-

do “Rudolph the Red-nosed
Reindeer.” y

“Really!” sniffed Blink.
She thought nothing short
of an excerpt from Handél's

Dink, of course, wanted
to play something rousing
like the “Stars and Stripes
Forever” but even Wink
saw the folly of that.

So, when the great day

arrived, they were still. in a

quandary about the whole
thing. “We've simply got to
make up our minds,” said
Blink in exasperation. The
others. agreed. “Let's sit
and think and think and
think until we come up
with an idea,” suggested
Dink. So they did. They sat
and thought and thought
and thought but no one
could come up with the
right song! . . . Suddenly,

Wink jumped up. “Til be

right back” she called as
she flew away. “Now isn't
that just like Wink to fly off
when we have work to do,”
said Blink crossly.

But soon Wink was back

and with a surprise . . . she
had learned a new song.

They listened to her in |

amazement. “Why, .that's
lovely,” said Blink. Dink
likéd it too, even if it wasn't

a march.

They quickly learned the
music, and without a min-

ute to spare, for the other

angels were already begin:

ning to assemble for the
Christmas program.

Blink wanted to ask Wink

where she had learned the

%

lovely new song but. there -

wasn't time: Finally, after
they had performed for all

the cherubim and seraphim-

and had been congratulat-
ed on their beautiful rendi-
tion, Blink took Wink aside.

“Where ‘did you learn
that song?” she asked, Wink

' smiled mysteriously and.

said, “I just happened tore-
member that nice soprano
angel who had mentioned
singing at a very spectal
Christmas Eve perform-
ance. So I had her teach me
the new song!” And off she
flew.

Blink had to admit that
had been very clever of

Wink, as she curled up on
her little cloud that night.

- And as she drifted off to

sleep, the beautiful new

song kept echoing in her

ears... “Glory to God in
the highest, and. on earth

peace, good: will _ toward
men,”

Ring the bells with
_ Christmas cheer, as we take a moment
to send all of you our warmest

_wishes for a happy holiday and much
gratitude for your loyal support.
