mony was a question that agitated John
E. Buchhold and Clara NJ. Miller for near

Christmas.

Though Christmas, comes year, by
il means too much ever to be stale.
In religion, it celebrates the best
part OF the Christiou faith, new
10Y that came into the world. AS a
holiday, it is the season OF expan-
sion. generosity, leading others
lives. Cold reason would say that
the best time for making gifts was
when necessity called, oppor-
tunity invited, or impulse urged,
but Christmas throws reason TO the
winds and opens the arms OF faith
and profusion once each year. The
shops are loaded with grotesque and
useless toys,-useless, save to give
little human beings joy. Many a
poor soul pinches for the sake OF do
mating some guerdon OF its love. and
is, perhaps, the better for the sacri-
ice. Wear this for me, DO
words mean more, and of all gifts, as
the American genius said, the best
is a portion OF thyself. Therefore,
the poet brings his poem; the shep-
herd, his lamb; the farmer, corn;
the miner, a gem; the sailor, coral
and shells; the painter, his picture;
the girl, handkerchief OF her own
painting" Alas for us, who can
give only what we buy and yet even
that carries our emotion, for 1t is
chosen lovingly. Certainly the
principle of the widow S mite holds
true in Christmas giving as in chart
", for all depends upon what it means
10 the giver. Who has not been
moved by receiving the tribute oi
a child bit OF paper, tooth, or
curl rl,-comic or pathetic,-in way
that he could be touched by nocare'
lessly choosing Croesus? So nc
wagon load of city rosess can carry
the perfume of the heart as it Is
borne by the blossoms which the
giver's hand has culled or his slen-
derpurse has shrunk to buy. Christ.
mas, the season of giving rejoicing
helps us all to part of the spirit af.
ter which the day is named: the
child with his JOY, the rest of US
with charity and the love of man,

Camalier, chairman OF the subcommit-

gether with bill providing for the

Lewis Hochheimer, of the Baltimore
bar. On motion, the report was &C
cepted and the secretary wasinstruc-
ted tohave the billprinted anda copy
mailed TO each member Of the asso-
citation. The report was a follows:
The scope OF the bill submitted
herewith is to put the criminal laws
of this state on a modern basis.
Every state except Maryland has the
improvement.
The special feature is the division
of felony and misdemeanor 1t is
also intended by definitions to make
clear the meaning oftechnical words
