Christmas Gifts.

Nothing is more lovely than the gift-giving
which custom has made specially appropriate
to the holiday period upon which we are en-
terng. Far be it from us to say one word to
discourage the custom. Affection never seems
so lovely as when it seizes especial occasions to
express itself in generous and appropriate be-
stowments Love cannot be pent within the
chamber of its own individual life. 1t must 60
forth into the world, where are the needy and
the sad, with smile of good cheer lighting its
face, and with its hands filled with bcunties
But there is reason in all things,-or should be.
Love is not less love because its outgoings are
directed by good judgment and inspired by
common sense.
There is such thing as OVERRIDING even so
beautiful an exhibition as giving. The tyran-
ny of custom is the worst of all tyrannies To
do as others do, for no better reason than be-
cause they do it is always silly and often I'M
just. To cheat creditor, in order to do be-
nevolence, reveals such a confusion in ones
moral conceptions that it would provoke
smile were it not for the stronger feeling that
the spectacles inspires. Our advice is, friends,
that you give no gifts unless you can pay for
them and pay for them, too, without embar.
rassment to yourselves. Love can take no
pleasure in receiving gift which costs the
giver so dear.
The best giving-that giving which affection
prizes most-is not of gems and gold and costly
fabrics, but of the heart. A smile, a kiss.
look of cordial welcome, warm grasp of the
band, the bright face, the look of grateful af-
lection, the sweet word tenderly spoken, the
pardon craved for harshness, the happy remin-
iscence of life enjoyed together.-thess are bet
ter, in the eyes of those who love US, than
costly jewels or gifts that money buys. If the
fact that we can give less of substance shall
cause us all to give more of this sweet spirit to
those we love, this year, it shall be the happi-
est year our love has ever known. Cheer up,
then, good friends, you who have lost money
and are still losing,-you who cannot buy cost
ly presents, as you have been wont to do when
the glad Christmas time came round, remember
that you, though buying less, can give more.
Loving is better than buying. Loving is the
highest form of giving; and he who loveth
most giveth most.-Golden Rule.
