Must Not be Forgotten.

The children must not be forgot
ten on Christmas eve. Many par.
ents are thoughtless about the lit
tie ones, and look upon presents aud
festivities as childish things that are
better neglected than attended to.
What il these attentions are child
ish 7 How many Of us cannot look
back TO carly days and still remom-
ber tue disappointment awaiting us,
when, at early dawn on Christmas
morning, we crept out Of bed and
down stairs to find the stockin 8
empty and that Santa Claus had rot
been at our home. All! the tears
that fell and the choking sensation
that swelled up in our throats then,
can never be forgotten. Aud when
we went out and met our playmates
and found that Santa Claus had not
forgotten them, it seemed as if all
the world were unkind, aud that
there was little to live for worth tho
living.
Do not forget the children. lot
il not be said that Santa Claus has
neglected Que of them. Let there
not be single heart made unhappy
thr ough neglect on this Christmas
morning. The expense Of making
them happy is small aud the reward
that will fellow their lusty shouts
when they see their well filed stock
ings will ever repay the amount and
the trouble. Our first thought on
Christmas morning should be for
tho happiness Of tho little ones.
christmas comes but once year,
And when it comes should bring
good cheer
