THE UNSELFISH SPIRIT.
The Christmas Gift should Carry No
Thoughts of Present
In Return.

Do we need reminder that the
spirit of the Christ-Child most truly
animates that Christmastide which
is most lovingly unselfsh? Do we
bestow on the children its best OPP
portunities when we load them with
benefits yet impress on them no wish
to give presents in their turn? Is
there any true Christmas sweetness
in which there is not a drop of self
denial? OF these things, familiar by
frequent repetition, at Christmas
tide we may well think once more,
writes Margaret Z. Sangster, in Chi
cago Interior.
Our American way is to lavish
money in our Christmas merry-mak-
ing, to lavish it sometimes without
the requirements Of individual adapt
alton. And if we have not money
enough to go round a large circle,
we are compelled to leave outside
some whom we might please without
great expense, if only we exercised
more thrift A bit of holly, Christ
mas card, a flower, a letter, a mes
sage, a hand-clasp, all these cost
little, but how much they may carry
of heart warmth to the friends
on the edge of things, instead of in
the midst. Run over the list of ac-
quaintances, and you will discover
that in your church, in your hus-
bands office. in your favorite chart
ty, somewhere you know homesick
or a homeless person who ought to
be brought in to the love-lght of
your own Christmas.
These are DAYS when business calls
so many away from home. that ii is
by no means possible for every
household to gather it's sons and
daughters in one beautiful group
when the holidays return. BUS
every woman in whom motherhood is
regnant may do some sweet thing
! for some other mothers boy or girl,
| for the sake of the Child who
brought peace on earth and good
will to men. She may widen her
Christmas friendships till the circle
takes in more than llith and kin. and
as she does so a blessing shall come
/ to her own life.

REFLECTIONS OF CHRISTMAS.
The Time for Moral stock-Taking--
Mankind Is surely slowly
Advancing

In spite 0f the persistent sounding
of the note Of pessimism, the dis
corning eye sees abundant evidence
for the belief that the gospel OF
peace on earth and good will toward
men is conquering the minds and
hearts of civilized humanity Christ
mas comes but once a year, and it is
an occasion for moral stock-taking
and for a review of the work done
by toiling, weak, inconsistent, erring
beings beset and surrounded with
temptations. Do we follow in our
daily lives and social. political and
industrial activities the sublime, per-
feet creed summed up in the golden
rule of Christian ethics?
None win have the hardihood to
assert that we are true to the reli-
gious and moral truths we profess,
says the Chicago Post, but are we
at least moving toward the ideal?
No query is more timely, more vital,
more solemn. But a sober-minded
view of society viii suggest a posi-
tive answer. We are advancing,
though slowly and with many fall,
occasional reactions and even sins
against the light. Mankind is GER
tafnly becoming kinder, more merci-
full and more sympathetic. There is
more good will and sincere devotion
to peace and brotherhood than at
any former period.
Our age has been described as one
of questioning, searching of hearts,
decline of mere dogma and the en-
thronement of reason and science.
But the ethical elements of religion
and they are the essential, the
abiding elements-have never been
more firmly rooted and more pro-
foundly recognized than now. That
wealth is trust, to be administered
for the general good, is no longer
the Utopian suggestion of few, but
the growing theory and practice.
Public opinion enforces the higher,
the moral duties of wealth with even
greater rigor than the state does the
purely legal obligations attaching
hereto. The rich man is, indeed,
without honor who fails to provide
70 the extent of his capacity for the
wants of the less fortunate, and in
this country the annual contribu
tions toward the maintenance of
educational, charitable and other
public institutions reach colossal pro-
portions. 1t is true that society
needs more justice and less henef-
cence, but justice is an intellectual
problem to be gradually solved,
whereas the manifestation of the
noblest product of evolution, a good
will, is a guaranty of the eventual
triumph of the altruistic ideal.
In great affairs and in small, in
national and neighborly relations, the
still, small voice of conscience is
steadily resisting evil impulses and
compelling subSission to the moral
law. And slowly but surely this sub
mission loses the character of COM
pulsion and becomes spontaneous, in
evitable. This is a stimulating re-
Election for the holy and gracious
season, and a true one.

Poor old bachelor!
The room is IN order, his trousers are where
He hung them last night, on the back of

And the change that he left in his pockets
is there
Poor old bachelor!
No fires to start and no furnace to shake,
No loved ones around to spend all he can
Poor old bachelor!
No Gliding for what he neglected to do:
He sits down alone when his breakfast is
through
And be reads-and he gets to remembering,
TOO!

He walks through the streets and sees
wreaths that are green.
He hears happy voices, and knows what
they mean,
Poor Ole bachelor

The chd7rs ara singins-he trudges away.
And sits down alone, at the close Of the
day
Poor old bachelor!

TheLost Invitation
BY INA BREvooRr ROBERTS.

Lucilla and Tom stood at the out
skirts OF the town looking diseonso-
lately off toward the frozen river,
where skating carnival was in prog
ress. At least, Lueilia looked at the
river, but Toms gaze stopped at her,
which was scarcely any wonder, for
Luciila was very pretty. She was slen-
der and girlish-looking, with finely
chiseled features, a rose-leaf complex
ion and a quantity Of soft yellow hair.
1t was Tom who broke the silence.

less sort of tone, that it would do any
good if | ignored this foolish quarre,

Always as long as my father can re-

eaten Christmas dinner together. No
matter how much pleasantness or
pickering were in the air, all hard feel

day, at least, we were united family"
Weren't they good Old times?"
sighed Tom. "One year the dinner
took place in our house, the next in
yours. Do you remember the long,
snowy tables, the monster turkeys,
and how impressed we used to be i the
imposing sight of all our august rela-
tives in their best bibs and tuckers?"
Indeed | do" and Luci,la sighed

be forgotten, but when mother sent in
vitations to dinner to every member of
the family but your father and mother
and you, and / learned a few days
later that your mother had also sent
invitations, leaving us out, I lost all
hope. Things will be worse than ever
after Christmas, for the people who ac-

other way round. Oh, dear" Lucilla
