THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

luOuSu our WOfuS may Uo lew
they are none the less sincere,
when we extend to the good people
of Bossier parish our best wishes
for a Happy Christmas and a
Prosperous New Year.
OF course we have had our
disappointments and sorrows in
the year now fast coming to its
close, but the healing hand of
time brings US new joys and
brighter hopes, and somehow, in
His own good time and way God
makes us to see that His ways are
right, and that He doeth all things
we'll.
And all in all, as we look back
upon time, We say they were good
old times; andeven though tear
starts afresh at the memory of
some sorrow so deep, yet we smile
through these and say they were
happy days that are gone.
And yet they are not gone;
they are part of us. And if we
have not been wicked and untrue
to ourselves, we may live over
again the good old days of the
past and enjoy them, even as we
did in the days that are gone.
The Christmas season is most
memorable because it is the sea-
son in which under every sky and
in every rank the best human inn
pulses are manifested and produce
fruit in the offices of friendship,
in the work of charity, Christian
duty and the dearest associations
of life. We enjoy noble friend
ships and we feel the vibrant in
fluence of Love, that transformer
of the earth into the paradise of
the heart and builder of happy
homes throughout the world.
The story of the lowly Nazarene
impresses and lifts us above sad
things. It re-echoes from CONT
nent to continent, it penetrates
the highways and by-ways, and
brings solace to the poor, the
struggling and wretched, and
teaches that supreme happiness
does not accrue from worldly pos
sessions alone. The most inspir-
ing and the noblest story told to
the sons of men is that of Jesus
Christ. It is worth living just to
have heard this story of faith,
hope and charity, and to have
learned the lesson of self sacri-
fee. Christmas, as the visible
observance of that tender and
undying influence, is a priceless
heritage, which, when its full
significance is grasped, ought to
make every one conscious of the
beauty Of living.
