JUST BEfOaE CHRIS 1MAS


coming of the worlds most precious
gift! 1t is the time of all times when
we should stop in our mad rush for
wealth and give a portion unto others.
It Is the time when selhshness sup
plants sel1shness, generous impulses
those of greed, and all hearts become
more human as they rejoice with one
another. Christmas is therefore time
for strengthening and sweetening home
ties. And how much our old world
needs just such a day as that! Too
often the bonds of kindred do not hold
us as they should. Too often the chill
dren appreciate not the sacrifice of the
little manifestation of love in 1t. An,
how we need to cultivate home fellow
ship! Some of us wish we could be
once more about the old flreside; some
of us would give much for father,
mother a loved one with whom We
once spent glad Christmas times. But
the circle has been broken, the flres.de
another home. We can only thank God
for the prospect of meeting again,
where partings do not come.
christmas means also the revivfng of
old friendships. Some of those who
stood by our side years ago may be far
away from us now; but track'ess
prairies or ocean depths shall not sever
the bonds that bind us. We will send
some memento, some m'sssve of love-
telling that the fire still burns and they
are remembered.
christmas means thought for the
poor and unfortunate around us. All,
there are many homes, even in Ana
conda, that are dark and lonesome and
cherries to-day. I thank God that
through the generosity of one of His
noblemen hundreds of hearts have been
frightened in the past week. Let us
all be mindful of the less fortunate ones
in our midst. and wherever we know of
one sitting In the shadow, seek to lift
the veil by some warm, personal deed
of kindness born Of the divinest i'm
pulse
