CHRISTMAS is with us again with
no abatement in interest. Times
may change and circumstances alter,
but the heart Of the world keeps
young The joys Of the Christmas
tide fail not The rich bestow their
costly gifts, the poor their less ex-
persive, but equally they represent
the love in the heart behind the gift.
! The world has enshrined in fairy
tale the giver as "Old Santa Claus" +"
ano of him stories most wonderful
have been told and believed; and
how the heart of the child is crushed
when it learns that there is no Santa
Clans, that it is only a name for a
I, givAr of Christmas presents. And
yet Santa stands for a principle /:
tha. which delights in making the
hearts of others glad, and in espec-
Tally remembering the dependent
classes-the children, the aged, the
unfortunate. AT this season is al
lowible charity that at other sea
SOM would be an impertinence.
The festival was first pagan, then
religious in the fullest church re-
gard, but now is human in the
broadest sense, while religious in the
trust christian practice. Christmas
is the festival of the worlds real
heart.
