REAL CHRISTMAS LESSON
There Can BE Mo Love for God I'm
attended by Love for Man.


""Too often in our Christmas re-
ligious observances is this thought al
most entirely lost sight of, or not suf-
ficiently emphasized" writes Edward
Box in the Ladies' Home Journal.
There can be no love for God which
is unattended with love for man. The
final test of a Christian life is not the
worship of God but always the love of
man for man. If the message of him
whose birth we celebrate at Christmas
teaches us one thing above all others,
it is not that we shall TRY to do for
him as a person, but that we shah
seek to do for one another. That Is
knowing Jesus and clearly understand
ing him. And wherever this true con-
centration of his life and teaching is
reached, there we sind men and wom-
en- thrilled with the passion for giving.
The little child wakes on Christmas
morning with its heart full to overflow
ing with gladneSs. and with every gift
in stocking, or beside cradle or bed
is taught anew the old. old lesson Of
love. Husband and wife, brother AMI
sister, lover and sweetheart, friend and
friend. as they receive their gifts are
reminded once more that love is not
dream, but reality-and reality
which grows more vital, more precious
and more enduring with the years. The
sick, in chair or in bed, as they open
their Christmas packages, are almost
reconciled to loneliness and pain. The
friendless, the poor, the outcast the
waits on the streets; those who have
snned and seem shut out from God
and from man, all begin to feel strange
thrills of hope and renewed aspirations
as they are taken up and EMBODIED in
richness and fullness of the divine love
as 1t comes to them through human
love or attention on Christmas day,
That is knowing Christmas in its high
est and noblest sense; in it truest con-
ception; knowing it in that spirit from
which we derive the surest happiness"

A CHRISTMAS MAMMA
By M. B. Bell.


1t was one Of those dreary afternoons
In November The rain had fallen
steadily all day. and Roland and Es-
Their Grahm, two motheress little chill
dren. were curled up on the rug in
front Of the library fire, looking at
picture book
Their nurse, who was kind hearted
woman. had frequently explained the
stories in the book to them And now.
with their little heads bent down over
the page. they We're looking at the pic
turc OF two little girls In bed. while
woman with a gentle. motherly face.
was tucking them IN Nurse had told
the children a long story about this
picture. what dear little ones they
were, and how loving and kind their
mother was to them.
II wish We had a mother to tuck US
in and talk to us when the rainy days
come, and we can't go out" said Ro-
land sitting up straight and pushing
the book away from him YEARLY.
| I'm tired looking at picture moth
ers. Christmas is soon coming. and
I'm going to pray and SIX God TO send
us a real mother, what we can talk to.
Then, OH maybe papa will buy us
mother if We give him the money"
Use got no money" said little
Esther. Il spent it all for Mary Jane,
and now she's broke and you'll have
all the new mamma and Essie'li be so
lonesome, and the little girl began to
cry
oh. Ess!e. what you crying for? l
haven't any more money than you
have, but thought God wouldn't care
If this year we bought mamma with
our Christmas money. cause YES just
as poor without mamma as those
poor children.
Mr.. Grahm was little later than
usual that evening, and somehow for
got to send for the little ones: but sat
before the fire thinking of Dora Lyn-
hurst, a little girl he had known in his
boyhood, and to whom he had once
been engaged. but a misunderstanding
had separated them, and he had after
ward married slight. delicate girl,
who. dying the third year after their
marriage, had left him with the care
of their two children.
That morning an old friend had told
him that Dora. who had never married,
but had been abroad several years. had
at last returned and he felt an intense
desire TO see her again. 1t was with q
strong feeling of self-reproach that he
sprang from his chair when he heard
the little ones at the door, and with
more than his usual warmth he greet
ed them, for they were very dear to
him.
Mr.. Grahm saw at once that some
thing was on their little minds. What
is it, Polard?" he asked, drawing the
little fellow to him. You and Esther
look as though you had something to
ask me-
Yes, papa we want you to plea Sc
buy us a mamma for Christmas"
why, isn't your father enough, lit
tie chcks?"
oh yes. papa, but Essie and !
thought, if instead of putting our
money in the envelopes this year We
gave it to you, you might buy us a
talk to us when you are out"
"'Cause we're dreadful lonesome al
times" chimed in Esther.
The tears came to the fathers eyes
