CHRISTMAS is pre-eminently child
ren's festival. At that time the child
rem crave and do receive, perhaps, the
greatest share of attention. Many
weeks preceding the festival has to
them been a season of anxious waiting !;
and when at last Christmas comes,
how their little hearts are filled with
joy. It is fitting that the. day which:
commentaries the coming into the
world Of Him, who was the children's
best friend should possess great
deal of interest for children. Child
hood owes a great deal to Christianity.
It has made their lot much more toll
cradle. Christ, himself, sympathized
with the little. chile ren, and he taught
the world to look upon them with
sympathy and love. In heather lands
children are often treated with cruel
ty. Sick and, weak children are al
lowed to perish for want Of care, or
are wilfully put to death. It is
Christianity that has caused to be es-
tablished orphan asylums, schools for
the deaf and blind, and for dependent
and neglected children. It is in
Christian lands that the greatest eff
forts are being made to educate the
little ones, and to make for them
books and toys that they will appreci-
ate. It is wonderful, indeed, in our
day, to notice the efforts being made
. by publishers, artists and authors to
bring forth pictures, stories, and illus
trated books for children, and to the
making Of toys there seems to be NO
end. Older people remember well
when picture book in the home was
a rare thing. Educators now are stu
dying the child with a view of ascer-
tanning true and natural methods Of
teaching. Kindergartens are being
established. All this on account Of
Christianity. Surely the children
