In the morning Uncle John found
a pair of mittens at his plate from
Nancy and several pretty but useful
things, the handiwork of his niece.
Nancy was radiant over the new
wool dress and Jake grinning over a
two-dollar bill, while Jessie danced
with JOY over pretty gold pin set
in pearls, having few ornaments dear
to girls heart.
The dinner was great success and
the little widow and her children
thought they were in paradise. The
! third minister's wife forgot her wor-
ries and let Jessie fill her children
with cake and candy almost beyond
the rescuing power of any remedy.
After dinner the banker called
Nancy aside and asked if the widow
and her children could stay until she
could find work, if extra help were
hired, and Nancy, overshadowed by
Christmas angels, consented.

IT'S WELCOMING EFFECTS.
The Right Christmas Spirit Tends to
soften the Worlds Hard Humanity
day Belonging to-AH
Christie ndom.

y The church has her saints and ma
tions have their heroes, but this day,
the greatest of all Christian holidays,
with its Juvenile joys and its wealth
of good cheer, belongs to all Christen-
dom in every cline. The universality
of its observance testifies to the hui
manizing influence of the life and
teachings of Him whose birth it cele-
brates. sF
Christmas is the great mellower Of
humanity, says the Chicago Daily Her
aid. 1t steals into our sordid lives
with its tinsel and holly, with its pratt
tie of children and it's tokens of low
ing remembrance, and holds US pris-
| oners in the citadel of love. 1t is USE
less to try to escape. The doors and
windows are barred against the cynic
and the pessimist. Its sunshine is
death to doldrums, and the grumpy
misanthrope who scowls and rails at
humanity all the year is forced to open
his pocketbook and sometimes finds
himself wearing smile.
It is true that even now there are
some churlish people in the world who
do not believe in Christmas and who
contemplate it's event with exceeding
sourness of disposition and who aban-
don themselves to doleful disserta ton
upon the follies and extravagances of
the festival. Not even Christmas will
sweeten their embittered lives or
| touch their heartstrings with it's Joy.
Gus jingle of 'bells across the snow"
But happily the crusty Scroogses
| get fewer every year. Even those who
| fail to recognize the religious signifi-
canoe of the day and have slight re-
| gard for the hallowed memories that
associate it with the life of Jesus yield
| themselves wholly and generously to
| the tender impulses which it awakens.
They join gladly in the giftmaking
| joys of the festival and Vie with each
other in the efforts to make the world
happier.
1t is true that thousands of people
have a perverted notion of Christm
| giving, who gladly misrepresent the
spirit of the festival and whose OBJ
servance of it is marked by foolish ex-
| cesses and eXtravagances. 1t is true
that much Christmas giving is merely
an exchange of commodities between
people who have no possible need of
the things they receive. But, after all,
the great wide world celebrates Christ
mas in the spirit in which it should
| be celebrated, keeping it close to the
children, for whose gladness it was in
stituted, and using it for an exchange
of those gifts which are priced not
for their intrinsic worth but for the
loving thoughts shown in their selec.
ton.

himself by going around whistling

giving each of his bank employees a
check Christmas eve. Not satisfied,
he sent oranges to the Sunday school

He smiled with real pleasure when
he saw the five heavy baskets Jake
was to take around Christmas eve.
