Tho celebration of King Edwards
birthday this year ON June so at all
"home stations. and on November Q.
at all other stations, Is brought about
by a curious coincidence Of dates. Ed

1871, while London was celebrating
the inauguration Of her lcsd mayor.
For more than a half century, MP to
the time OF Edwards accession, the
great throngs from the East End have
been In the habit Of spending the eve
ming Of Lord Mayors Day, otter wit
Messing the procession, among the
fashionable West End shops, where
the patriotic tradesmen were wont to
illuminate their places OF business IN
honor Of the birthday OF the Prince
of Wales. so that It is little wonder
that some Of the people got the inn

OF all beautiful legends, of all beau
tiful verse; OF all stories told in all
the life of the whole world. there is
no tale so wondrously beautiful as the
story of the Ckristchild. Every man
and every women must recall those
long-ago, faraway days when first the
story was told to them, the story Of
the little babe in the manger, OF the
star OF Bethlehem, with its rain OF
hre, the shepherds. the wise men and
The dolngs of the angels And with
this. memory come back other men,
ories, mental visions or those whom
we loved and who have passed away;
OF all the sweet joys of childhood,
when the world was a playground in
stead OF workshop; of fond dreams
and childish disappointments. Christ
mas day is a time when we must
pause on the journey and rest by the
wayside, sparing the golden hours for
reyerie and tasting the sweets of gen.
erosity and tender charity.
BY all manner Of Judgment and be-
liefs we must concede that, so far as
doing good is concerned, all days
SHOULD be Christmas. To bestow
neckties on Dec. 25, and cross words
all the other 264 days of the year is
to be like the common sinner who
cheats his neighbor during the week
and prays most energetically on the
Sabbath.

thoughtfulness that prompt It. The

Perhaps you don't know it. but il is
