Christmas.
This is good time to look around
and see how our poorer neighbors
fare. Among all the Christmas stories
we have read, not one pleases us more
than those by Charles Dickens. We
suggest to our business men, and all
who have just a little more than they
need-a little to spare-read Dickens,
especially old Scrooge.
But one OF the best of all is the act
ual instance; the real fact The Wise
Men gave gifts in the first Christmas
morning; Wise Men mark the words!
They gave gifts to child born il. a
manger, the poorest of all poor chill
dren. always poor. He had given up
all for us. Hence, He was poor
child and poor man, and was laid
in a borrowed tomb. The Wise Men
gave gifts to Him. He says, Whose
ever giveth to the poor lendeth unto
the Lord. And, in as much as We did
it unto the least of these, We have
done it unto Me.-Berkley (Va)
