meeting her gaze. There was nothing
bordering ON the supernatural in this
fair girl. Her house dress Of pink lawn
was daintily coquettish. And her eyes,
the clear, unembarrassed eyes of a
sunny -souled maiden, gave assurance
Of sanity and composure.

keen, scrutinizing gaze. Then she,

every man might take heart in the struggle and have . reasonable hope of being able to live likewise.
 This gift of service is the best gift which can be given to the world. And this gift is within the reach of every body There is no excuse for those who do not make it. None are too busy to be friendly and none too great to stoop to little kindnesses I once thought there were natures that could not be cordial, but 1 know now that it was a mistake. The most memorable duty men ever have is to love and to render services of love. It was one of the last teachings of Jesus that we will be judged at last by our attitude in practical service to the sick, the op- pressed. the stranger and to those who lack the plainest necessities of food and clothing.
 But this spirit of Christmas which is to find it's expression in the gift of loving service is not the spirit of mere benevolence Kindness that is not in- spired by comradeship is not beautiful at all It may be pity from a proud heart, but that is not friendship, and 1t is not the deep brotherly love of Christianity. Men needs friends more than they need aims. We all need each others friendships. We are in- separably bound together as men ol one race and men of all races. The powerful need the sympathy and rec oOulfion CP tho h., y,Hhlo tho rich oP II A poor and the cultured of the unredned and for this reason the life which finds it's expression In unaffected and uni. versal friendship Is the life which haa most nearly caught the spirit of Chris, and of Christmas. Let us give gifts and among them that larger gift O, loving service. Thus will the spirit of Christmas be shed abroad and mako tho world brighter aad better.

wear. The descendants of these three
are numerous, not only in this imme-
diate section, but in many other parts of
the country. They have been sober,
industrious, useful people, and no one OF
them has ever got into Jail or been
pauper to the extent of penny.
Those present at this reunion were:
OF the children of John Porter: Mrs.
Harriet Millett, Norway; Franklin Por-

Oshkosh, Wis, former mayor OF that
city, the only absentee, sent telegram

Mrs. Lydia S. Hammond, Paris; Mrs.
Mary Howe, Medford, Mass.
The oldest of these ten is Mrs. Lufkln,
who is Sc, and the youngest is 90. The
ages of the ten aggregate TIA years,
representing an average age OF ia
wears. At the dinner table there were
with them Mrs. w. II. Porter. Mrs.
Franklin Porter, and Mrs. S. Porter
Stearns, and though they were little
Younger, still the average age of the
thirteen who occupied one table was
only little less than 76 years.
Others from distance who attended
the reunion were Arthur Howe and Miss
Clara Howe of Medford, Mass, son and
daughter of Mrs. Mary Howe. and Mrs.
Nellie Osborn of Melrose, Mass, daugh'
ter of Mrs. Woodman.
The day was spent in social inter
course and "reminiscences OF old times
without any formal programme, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present;
1t would be hard to match TINS
gathering of the children of one family
of pioneers-ten of the second genera
ton, all but one past their threescore
and ten, and almost without exception
still vigorous and active.
