THE TRUE CHRISTMAS LESSON.
Mrs. Stephen Putney Writes what the
Day Should Teach Children.

Duy SuOuiu IedCn lnltufen.
written for the Dispatch by request }
Although Christmas IL called the child
peculiar holiday. yet we often fail to let
the little ones receive the highest good
the season bestows. The attitude OF the
children OF the present day Is chiefly
that OF receiver and not giver. thus losing
the greater pleasure. If they are
taught to save their money weeks before
in order to have something OF their very
own to give. the pleasure of Christmas
would be greatly enhanced, to say no.
thing OF the spirit OF self-denial thus
early inculcated. How frequently we
want the children to be happy in our
way; all knowledge Of presents and pre-
parations kept from them until Christ
mas arrives; how many dear little tots
are made positively unhappy by being
told: NOW. run away, and don't bother,
for / am busy making Christmas
things" They feel entirely left out. yet
can be made so happy by being allowed
to help. or, rather. to think they are
80 doing. a little cnap or was lending
a hand in making cornucopias. and in the
midst Of 1t he jumped up, saying:
"Oh, I am so happy; I want TO sing and
dance q jigp' He was far happier then
than when receiving present from the
splendid tree. Let them feel they have
their work TO do as well as their elders.
and their pleasure begins many days be-
fore Yuletide arrives.
This is the time above al others when
we can, by pleasant stories and lovely
pictures, implant in the heart OF the
child. such love for the blessed Christ
child that IN after years 1t develops into
devotion TO the Christ-man; and this.
after all. Is the true Christmas lesson.
IL is not necessary to mention grown
up folk" for make the children happy
and others follow suit; but In the
matter OF presents, long experience
has taught ma that little girls want
dolls by the dozen, boys fireworks In
abundance, the young girls something
pretty 10 wear; father and brothers
their favorite braid OF cig.rs and CT
garettes. and mother something to make
the table beautiful; never forgetting that
i1 is the spirit and not the gif. which
makes Il acceptable.
