THOUGHTS FOR YULETIDE.

too often the case that, absorbed in it.
others.
Another part OF the same story is The
fact that many times again We are in
cllned to be cynical-despisers rather than
admirers OF our fellow men. Processing
to be Disguised with the old Diogencs,
who sat in his tub making faces Al hI-
mainly, we are yet often guilty OF the
same ugly spirit.
But what did Christ do? Without de-
grading anyone he lifted up and ennobled
all. ne created the enthusiasm for hu-
manty. Speaking the great word about
the worth and lovablenoss Of man, re
was able TO make millions believe 1t as
ne believed it, and love it as he loved
it,
1c came not to be king, but to be a
servant Caesar might be king; ne
would be 4 friend.
Christ believed that men were worth
loving and that there was something
beautiful down underneath the ugllest
human life.
Such was the spirit of the carpenter S
son, and such is the spirit OF the Christ
mas time that commentaries his nativ-
ity.
Christmas is a season that levels our
artificial distinctions and makes US mem
bers one of another.
The master remembers the servant"
and the servant the master; the good
and the bad" the wise and the foolish,
the rich and the poor, the ilustrious
and the lowly forgetting the differences
between them, are all alike inspired by
the one grand sentiment OF peace and
good Will.
Old Diogencs gets out Of his tub, smile
steals over his hard face, his old heart
begins to beat with real human sympa-
Thy and he hastens away to shake hands
with some one and be happy.
Such is the influence upon US of TIC
Christmas time.
Even now. as we write these words,
we can see a gallant ship making her
way toward US from the old world.
The spray of the pillows is settling
upon her and freezing as it settles. Deck,
nasts. yards, ropes, canvas are sheeted
with ice.
Through the shrouds the cold winds
shrek like Spirits damned
The black heavens frown, and the
frown is sterotyped on the face and heart
Of every one on board.
1t is a dismal dreary sight. But the
ship sails on-and presently she seems
to feel strange, new life!
Her sails freed from the icy letters
open themselves to catch the tempered
breezes; the warm waters skip merrily
| along her sides; chanticleer in the coop
| lifts up his head and Justify crows; the
dog barks for joy; and every living thing
on board seems to realize that the ship
| has struck-the Gulf Stream,
AS we go sailing over the ocean OF life
| il is permitted us once a year TO strike

Then with paper wisp balanced in his
hand, he began counting the candles,
peeping into the branches like boy

who must be pretty lonely today. An!

"Oh! l came vehy near forgettin' this

When it was all over and Aunt Nancy

tucked her tippet into her neck, and but
toned her coat so that not a breath If

Christmas Giving.

The month of December, with its holly
and mistletoe, arouses in every normal hui
man heart Intangible memories Of past joys
and vague anticipa tons OF joys to conc
II is the one season of the year when
every one admits the necessity of laying
aside, for a few hours at least, the try
ing cares OF the world it's perpleXing
and harrassing thoughts, letting faith
grow pure and true once more, forget
ting mahce and hard feelings. We then
try to see only the good side of every
thing and everybody. So the lovely GUS
tom of keeping Christmas lives en-
through the ages and the character,
like Scrooge, who knows no holiday is
out of tune with the whole world.
Just as the angels sang, nineteen hull
dred years ago, peace on earth, good
will &c men, SO today the bells of all
the ChristianiZed world peal forth their
joyful anthems of Christmas"
We remember at this time as no other
Christ's teaching-"Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself" which He 20 fully
exemplified by becoming the first Christ
mas gift to a waiting world. SO we can
hunbiy follow his example by seeking out
ONE sad and lonely ones and bringing
custom of Christmas giving, when the i'm
pulse really comes from the heart, and
is a genuine expression of love, makes
our own hearts glad-and if our own
hearts Laugh" that is quite enough
for us.
We need not go beyond our meanC
or strength and enter into general CIV
ing, it is not the number of presents,
but the spirit of the gift. Just give a fsw
true gifts, with love and light -heartcd
pleasure, where no possible regrets may
follow, and cease the ever continued ca
fort to Adjust our limitations to the
ambitions of the day.
We can have a personal greeting for
every friend, if nothing more, and to
him it will be the blithest sound he ever
heard And ask some of those without
homes to enjoy the Christmas feast with
us, so making some one else feel as happy
as we are ourselves, and We will all be
glad when the anniversary of the day
which means so much for all mankind
comes again with its sacred associations.
Some say
That ever gainst that season comes,
Wherein our Saviors birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth ell night
long;
The nights are wholesome, then no plan
cts strike,
So hallowed and so gracious is the time. y
