Despite the hard times, ofwhich we in Har-
ford have had our share, the air is filled with
the notes of Christmas preparation. The busy
housewife spends her days in making good
things for the Christmas feast and her even
ings in loving labor on little tokens for
friends. The stores are filled with hundreds
of pretty and useful articles, any one of
which would give pleasure as a Christmas
present. Holly and cedar, crowfoot and ivy
are being gathered to adorn the sanctuary
Church choirs and Sunday Schools are re-
hearsing anthems and carols to sing at the
Christmas service and the Sunday
School celebration. Everywhere there
Is spirit of eager expectancy. Those
of more mature years look for their pleasure
In the happiness they expect to bestow upon
their children or friends, while the. little folks,
regarding Christmas as their own peculiar
holiday, are wondering what Santa Claus
will bring them.
Christmas differs from every other festival,
religious or secular, in the fact of its univer-
salty. The citizen of the United States feels
his bosom swell with patriotic pride when
the booming of cannon salutes the Star Span
gled Banner at sunrise on the Fourth of July.
Other nations, too, have their distinctive fes-
rivals, in the joy of which their neighbors do
NOT share, but Christmas is the worlds great
holiday. Wherever the knowledge of the
glad tidings proclaimed by the angels on the
plains of Bethlehem nearly two thousand
years ago, have been carried, whether by
Christian minister or layman, Christmas Is
celebrated. In the wilds of hottest Africa
among the eternal ice and snow of the Arc
tic regions; on ships in mid-ocean; in SOL
dier.camps on our Western frontier, where
brave men are keeping murderous savages in
check; in prisons and in hospitaIs--iu every
place where civilized man has an abiding
place, the Christmas spirit is felt. Happily,
there are now few dark spots on the map
into which the cheerful rays of Christmas
sun do not enter. This universally of the
Christmas celebration, therefore, is a bond
which unites all mankind. 1t teaches, in q
spirit far different from that of the anarchist,
the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man. In this spirit let Us look forward to
Christmas-not as time for selfish enjoy
ments, but as a season for making others
happy. There are in every neighborhood
the forlorn and destitute-those on whom
fortune has not smiled, or those who, bereft
of friends, are painfully struggling with pow
erty, disease or care. Let all such be re-
membered ON Christmas day. 1t is not the
intrinsic value of the gift which makes it &C
ceptable. 1t Is the loving spirit which
prompts it and the gracious kindness with
which it is accompanied.
Christmas Day will have passed before the
issue ofanother Ays; so, taking time by the
forelock, we most heartily wish our readers
A Happy Christmasl
