The whole Christian world, Tor TINS
one day, casts aside the impersous de'
mands Of livelihood and fortune making
along with the gross elements OF bust
nasa that characterize those pursuits
and turns its thought and energies to
the pleasanter task Of making others
happy and trying to be happy with them
That the great holiday is not cireum-

counts largely for the spirit OF generous
lareess that makes it chiefest among
tha annua, festivals Of human society.
CAPITAL, metropolis. city, town and

Christmas principle and make 1t the
d;v;nest broadest and dearest of all
known periods.
1t ranks above all other prescriptive
feasts Of civilization, not alone on the
score OF its divine origin and influence
but in the deep universality OF its recos-
ntion and observance by those inditfer-
emit to. and even immune from, its car
dinal precept. The non-aceeptance OF its
Christian predicate does not always, nor
often. interfere with its friendly observ-
ance by those who are uninspired by its
authentic religious conception, but from
the better impulses that actuate them
and it is well.
Anything that arouses the sentier
thought and kindGer activities OF the
human heart is blessing incalculable

She has not done one single thing to
