CHRISTMAS HOPE AND CHEER.
THE DAY THIS YEAR AND WHAT THE PEo-
PIE MAY MAKE OF IT

Christmas will dawn in the United States over
people full Of hope and aspiration and good cheer,
for people busy now, and their work brings
fair rewards. Such a condition means contentment
and happiness. The carpng grumbler who may
here and there go forth will find few TO listen to
him. The majority will wonder what is the matter
with him and pass on
If only few inches OF clean snow sparkling in
the sunshine of crisp winters day are at hand
nothing certainly will be wanting. For people are
busy. They have spare dollar. there's coal for
bright fire, there's meat and sauce for the table
good clothing for the body tobacco for the pipe
where it's wanted the decanters full The
merchant may sit in his home with clouded
brow lest on the morrow people will cease to buy
the man with a factory can go home tonight and
sleep in peace and awake to JOY for the next day
he will find accumulation Of orders for his
wares; the of humble toll look the world
with easy face his family is well fed and well
clothed; he is not missing payments his house,
he may have been five years ago; he eats
hearty meal at home instead Of scanty at
a souphouse; he will not return from holiday to
find the business at which he is employed closed
on account of hard times
But general prosperity does not, after ALL neces-
sarily get to each individual directly In every age
and under all general conditions there are un-
fortunate persons. But these tomorrow need not
be sorrowful. Tomorrow Christmas Day and
the bounty that has come to the land will be
shared by them
The Salvation Army VIII have a dinner for
twenty-five thousand persons in Madison Square
Garden and in addition will send dinners to
many others at their homes.
The Educational Alliance, at East Broadway and
Jeferson-st., will give "Chanukah' social IN the
evening at o'clock.
The New-York Hospital. In West Fifteenth-st.,
The tree will be lighted in the c6iidrens ward at
o'clock. . s1eJ
Senator Timothy D. Sullivan will provide dinner
Tor five thousand persons tomorrow at the rooms
of the T. D. Sullivan Association, at No 207 Bow
cry. The dinner will begin at 10 o'clock in the
morning and will be spread on long tables seating
$50 each.
Frank Tilford will give a dinner to six hundred
newsboys at Lyric Hall. Forty -second-st. and
Sfxth-ave., a u o'clock Christmas Day. The boys
will have full course dinner. beginning with oys-
ters and ending with nuts. Each boy will receive
a souvenir a menu card with Mr. Tilford's por-
trait side
These are only a few of the provisions for those
who, though they may be comparatively prosperous,
are prosperous in a limited way. a full programme
of music in the churches was printed in The Trib-
yesterday.

Paragraph which said that only day attendance

Maxwell or MT. Jasper. Borough Superintendent

Mr.. De Berard says he does not vouch for the
truth Of the figures themselves. and quotes the fol-
lowing from his report:
Such data OF attendance given are in
accurate and contradictory. and therefore unreli-

FEATURES OF TRIBUNE FRESH AIR WORK.

FEATURES OF TRIBUNE FRESH AIR WORK.
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: 1 have read with great interest your report
Of the Tribune Fresh Air work In 1900, and would
like, with your permission call special atten-
tion to a few features of that work which may
not be fully appreciated by the general public.
Having been intimately acquainted with it during
its early years, and having co-operated with the
Rev Willard Parsons in sending and taking chill
dren 10 the country, I think I understand its
merits, and as have watched with great interest
its continued and Increasing usefulness, would
add word of testimony in relation TO its efficiency
and success.
First Of ALL know of no charity where so much
practical good is accomplished such a COM
paratvely small cost and this is because the Trib-
une Fresh Air work makes of already existing
agencies and calls upon the noble army of city
missionaries, nurses and others to select and have
on hand at the proper time the children who
10 go 10 the country Then, too. ii Is a model OF
wisely directed charity. The children selected
from among the very poor, but there is premium
PIT upon wilful poverty There is little or no mis-
taken altruism- The household that is wilfully and
Wantonly poor does not thereby earn the right 10
are chosen with and discrimination by those
who have the work in charge Yet again, II is
modern Christianity and should go long way 10
silence the carpng critic who thinks that the end
of the century finds the Christian religion in
state Of decline And last of all, In these days OF
cheap and wholesale criticism of American Journal
ISM IL is delight TO find The Tribune providing
the executive and administrative ability without
charge which has made this great work eff
cient and successful All honor 10 Willard Parsons
