A Pleasant Sight.

Among the blessed observances and
customs of Christmas-time, that Of
gathering the members Of the family
together Is not the least beneticient. To
draw together the ties of kindred on
one day, at least, of the year-to reknit
the family bonds, to revive the sancti-
ties Of mother and child, and reunite
other diverging relationships surely
one of the most fitting modes Of COM
memorating the advent of One who,
though He came on His Heavenly Fa-
theirs business. and invited, as He still
invites, all men TO become His hreth-
ren. was none the less dutiful and lov-
ing to His earthly parents and relatives.
What more beautiful sight can be
imagined than that of a family Of three
generations, affectionately assembled
on the morning Of the hallow day,
and entering their village church to-
gether--honest country folk mindtul of
the sacred meaning of Christmas in
thus making attendance at the appoint
Ell religious service Il prelude To tie
homely enjoyment and frsiiYe merry
making they will afterward share. In
their Sunday and holiday best they rev.
erently enter the chmchpolch afterthe
walk from a neighbOrng farmStead.
The little procession is headed 10y the
grandfather and grandmothpr-a h 'ppy
touch of reverence for age characterlS-
tic of true filial pIety. But before these
toddles the youngest member of the
family-the representative Of the third
generation. How charming is this
mystery of Love between the youngest
and the oldest-this meeting of ex
tremes 1t strengthens the chain, so
to speak, that unites our race in one.
lest link should be dropped out a
chain stretched back through countless
past generations, but which, for near
two thousand years, has been cOnse-
Grated by the sentiments of The Christ
mas Festival.
