THE KEEPING OF CHRIST
MAS.

Again the 'Yufestide, around
which clusters so many sweet
memories of the past, has come.
It brings happy family reunions.
delightful social gatherings. aud a
time for the expression of love
and good will to all. According
to bent of mind or inclination,
each of us will keep Christmas,
the birthday OF our King. Some
will forget or ignore the sacred
ness of the occasion, and indulge
freely in intemperaDce in eating
and drinking, while others will
engage in wild revelries, which
would more appropriately cele'
brate some heather festival, than
the coming of of Savior to the
world. Others will make the &C.
casion one of exchange of pres
ents, and others regard it as the
season of all. others for turning
an honest penny. A few, so few
in all the world that they could
easily be numbered, will make it
the time for unselfish sacrafice,
and a renewal of conservation to
higher, better living, -
While few are willing to make
genuine sacrafices, all have it in
their power to make some one
else happy. Prosperity has not
come to all, and to others, sad
memories make the joyous season
one of regret. You can share
your prosperity, your pleasures
aid your cheerfuiness with many
and not even make sacrafice.
Do this, if no more, and a part,
at least, of the happiness that
should make Christmas the most
delightful season of the year, will
be yours.
/ When you sit down with your
family and friends to bountiful
dinner, see that some one besides
those who don't need your good
things, has a fair share of crea'
lure comforts, even though it BE-
an improvident negro. And
above all, keep Christmas BY
burying the Ratchet, and enjoying
peace and good will toward all
mankind. Let charity of thought
cover your neighb0rs faults, and
you may reasonably expect tC
have your own covered in like
manner.

A MERRY rII .ISTMAs.

Christmas-how .ihheh there is
in that world Il brlugs to our
mind the giving of gifts, family re-
unions, Santa Claus and all Of the
attendant joys and pleasures of
the holiday season. Children
have Deen looking forward to it
for weeks and telling their parents
day after day what presents they
desire Santa Claus to bring them.
Then there is that deAper sieni.
ficance that belongs to the hoIi-
day. 1t is the day we celet rate
as the birthday of the Christ.
Over 900 years ago Christ was a
babe in the nanger at Bethlehem.
Tie religion which he taught was
well typified by his humble origin
t was not religion for the rich,
but tor rich and poor alike. 1t
was not a religion tor the priets
but for the common people.
The truths which he taught have
endured. His precepts are en-.
graved upon the hearts of his peo
Pile North and South, FROM the
Orient to the 0ccident. Nineteen
centuries ago the Christian faith
was unknown. Now it fills the
world. Religions have appeared
and disappeared, but it has en-
dured and become more potent.
These are things that we should
remember when we celebrate the
holiday which is close at hand.
Christmas is gladstone time as it
should be. Happiness comes to
the surface and is seen on every
hand. We feel more inclined to
make others happy and to be more
charitable. We relax a little from
the daily grind of our duties and
enjoy a little leisure.
Christmas comes more nearly
beng the children's holiday than
any other. The Fourth of July
with its fire crackers, does not ap
proach Christmas in the minds OF
the children. There are many
reasons for this. 1t is the only
week of jollity in the minds Of TIT
/ American people.
The rich have their recreatiOns
and amusements the year round
Not so with the poor. They worl
day in and day out and are thank
full if they can live comfortably

WORK AND AMUSEMEN

When we give the matter seri.
Gus consideration, about the only
difference between work and play,
or amusement, is purely mental,
the one calling for as much ener.
gy as the other. The average
yOungster will grub for hours
under broiling sun for bait worms
to go fishing, without complaint
or feeling the least WEAKNESS
whereas few hours hoeing in
the garden "dOes him up" for
several days. He can chop down
trees by the dozen, while 'possum
hunting, or half hours welding
the axe upon wood pile gives
him the backache.
A girl can cook and scrub all
day with her toy stove, but scour.
ing knives and washing dishes
give her premonitory symptoms
of nervous prostration. When
she grows older, she can do drawn
work and embroidery for weeks
without a murmur, except to ex
press her enthusiasm, but few
days PLAIN sewing, or the weeks
darning and mendlng, ruin her
eyes and threaten her health.
When she enters society, she
dances all night in clothes SO thin
aud scant that beggar would be
pitied for being so clad, but she
raves over her perfectly delight
full time, and don't mind the scant
apparel in the least. She goes on
d round of amusements that re.
quire as much energy as is dis
played by her less fortunate sis
ter, $50 called who cooks, washes,
runs farm, and does the work OF
three every day of her life.
The man of fortune and leisure
gives his strength and energy of
both body and mind, to the pur.
suit of pleasure, and in the end re-
ceives disappointments, Ill health
and a depleted purse. of course
the man who applies himself to
downright, hard work, gets better
returns, but after all, he labored
no harder than the professional
pleasure seeker. The fact is, the
only difference between work and
amusement is, that we like one
and dislike the other. If we could
bring ourselves to believe that
whatever becomes our duty to do
is the most delightful thing In the
world, and that We prefer TO do il
above all other things, work would
become as great JOY as play OF
recreation, and a hundred per
cent more satisfactory. 1t may
require persistent and heroic
treatment to persuade the woman
who detests house work, that dish
washing is recreation, or the man
who abhors rising before day
light, and dong the chores, that
it is a pleasant lark, but determi
nation aud constant practice will
work wonders. Get your mind
made up that work is pleasant,
because it is duty, and you will
ere long find It the delight that
you found in childho0d's Iabori-
sRs efforts to secure a good time
