It is the desire and effort TO con
tribute 10 the happiness of others that
makes Christmas the most delightful of
all our holidays. Children, at first. per
haps, think most of the gifts that they
may receive, but every wise parent
teaches the child TO be a giver as well
rs a receiver, and TO find the deeper ioy
of the Christmas time in doing some
thing for the pleasure for some one
else. The maxim: 1T is more blessed
to give than to receive" is one of those
beautiful statements that it is easy to
approve, but one never knows how true
ii is until he finds it verified in expert.
ence. Then new fountain of ioy
opens in the heart and a new way of
life is disclosed. We often make the
mistake of thinking that giving" con
sists in the bestowal of some material
thing. But it really consists in devo-
ton to another OF what we have; it
may be money or time or skill or
thoughtfulness or patience There is
no one so poor that he cannot give
something. That is the real JOY of
Christmas time If we carried the
Christmas spirit into all the days of the
year we should make life infinitely
sweeter and happier.-Boston Watch

When men will raise their hands and swear

And then. as such men do,
Forgetting that they ever swore,
Backslide in a week or two.
