CHRISTMAS.

Again the Christmas time is here
aud throughout Christendom busy,
tself-forgetful throngs of people are
doing their utmost to make others
happy in commemoration of the
birth of One who pointed out to the
world the splendor Of service to
ones feliow-men. Christmas is the
greatest of all holidays. The lesson
taught by it's observance is the
greatest Of lessons-that the truest
happiness is that which comes from
making others happy.
That this Christmas spirit should
flourish and become universal, not
only at the time dedicated to OBJ
servance as the birthday of the
divine Nazarene, but throughout
the entire year; that the spirit which
prompts the Christmas generosity
should expand until it's possessor
can no longer be uncharitable or
unjust to anyone at any time, is the
greatest need Of the world.
The Herald trusts that each of its
readers has found happiness in the
Christmas season in what they have
done for others, not only those of
their own family and friends, but
for those who are less fortunate in
the possession of the things which
make life enjoyable, and that every
person in Lancaster, no matter how
afflicted or in what humble circum-
stances, will look back to this
Christmas season as one which
brotherly love, sympathy and aid
made a season of JOY and comfort.
Never before have Lancaster
people been better prepared to take
part in the annual giving of gifts.
This should should not only be
cause for rejoicing but it should
bring to each person thus purposed
the desire to do something to better
the condition Of those less fortunate
and thus bring gladness to the
hearts Of those who have less reason
for joy.

And matrons with babies and bundles galore.

Confusion and whirl in the Subway at Six!
Come grab for your ticket and rush 10 the rail-
It's sport for the hardy and fear for the frail;
And think you doing a centrefeld rush:
Don't be the least backward If you mashed fiat,
But distance your eyes from each feminine hat;
Or you with a hat-pin they'll surely transfx-
