THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

At this annual festival season, which
is peculiarly time OF msnifesiing af-
feciion and good will, no thoughts are
more appropriate or more profitable
than those which carry the heart be-
yond the narrow circle of self, and pei
NIT it to entwiDe the tepdrils OF love,
sympathy a0d liberality artuod our
fellows.
Christmas is emphatically full OF
blessing iD jost the degree that we be-
lieve and act upon assurance of Him
who said: "It 10 more blessed to give
than to receive" Just as home is
where the heart is, 70 is gift that
which the heart makes it, whether the
beart be that OF the donor or the recip.
lent. 1t need not be thing of cost,
nor even thing of beauty, to make it
a Joy. temporarily il not forever.
Thousands OF simple aud inexpensive
presents will pass between sympathetic
hearts in few days, and bear in their
train iucsloulable pleasure. while, on
the other hand, many costly gem and
golden gift will utterly fail TO bless
either the giver or the receiver. More.
over, gifts, even Christmas gifts, are
not necessarily material or tangible;
for q word, smile, kindly act may
prove, in many instances, the most &C.
csptabe present, and become Of itself
the benson most craved and most well
come. Even the crumbs OF comfort,
which, in the sbseDcs of some more pre-
tentious or costly gift, even the poorest
of us may bestow upon some saddened
neighbor, may come in for recognition
from Him who said: "Iussmuch as ye
have done it unto oneof the leset OF
these my brethren. ye have done 1t
unto me-"
Then. too, it is our right and duty to
make the Christ mas season merry"
one for ourselves and others. We
have already suggested how 1t may be-
come happy and blessed time. The
merry phase may be engrsfted upon it
by taking cheerful views and, for the
uonce, bidding dull care begoue. We
shall be told that this is more easily
said than done. And yet, since worri-
ment and misery may be so easily sum-
moned, like spirits, from the vastly deep
OF human experience. why may we not
also school ourselves to frame Of mind
which shall see the best in everything
and habitually draw upon memory and
experience for the record OF mercies
and pleasures which have lined and
paved our pathway all through lif?
