The Vacant Chair,

Since first the star hung low in the
eastern sky, and it's rays gave hope to
the weary world, no holiday has ever
Christmas. 1t blends the spirit of
mirthfulness with the pathos of human
need and Christian kindness. Thu
light of love and home shines through
the open door of humble cot and royal
palace. Young hearts beat faster and
old hearts grow younger in delightful
anticipation. Busy men and buster
and eagerly fly to the mother-nest of
the old homestead to spend Christmas.
Father hearts grow warm, mother
hearts grow tender and gaze with fond
affection at the family circle. But. alas!
the light of the eye grows dim, the
happy laughter dies on the trembling
lips, as we see the vacant chair. When
last the s.Peace on earth" chimed over
The great world the loved ones voice
mingled with the happy home hearts;
now the angel ranks have an added
member, the heavenly choir is all the
sweeter. But oh, the aching hearts
caused by the vacant chair! We stretch
out our hands to the dead, dumb
night and long for one glimpse of the
dear face, one touch of the vanished
hand. > Tears, ilke.drops OF: the hearts
blood, blind our sight, and our hearts
ache with an agony of longing as we
realize the full meaning of the vacant
chair.-Silyer Cross
Happy Days.
It is worth while for parents to take
special pains to make holidays like
Christmas stand out in the memory Of
their children because of the way in
which they are observed. The Christ
mas tree or party, the delightful sur
prise, the longed-for gift, make the day
distinctive. In coming years, the child.
having become mature man or wom-
an, burdened with anxieties and unex.
pected troubles, will look back to
Christmas, 1898, and say: ''That was a
happy day. Of all the festivals I have
ever enjoyed that was the best" To
give your child that experience is worth
time and thought and money. It is
great mistake to suppose that when a
happy moment has passed it is gone
forever. On the contrary, a happy mo-
ment lives forever. It is perpetual
source of Joy and refreshment to the
heart that has known it. It is as sig
nificant as the parting of the clouds to
a mariner which enables him to take an
observation. and lay his course for
many days. though moment after his
vision is obscured. There are single
days in life to which we look back after
years with a delight that no subse-
quent experiences of sorrow and failure
can rob us of. It is great thing for a
parent to make Christmas such day
for the children.-Bosto Waterman.
