THE NATAL DAY

Christmas, the day of gifts and CIV
ing, the season of good cheer, of hap
piness, Of home comings and family re-
unions is but few days distant.
AS in the years gone by, it will be a
day characterized by JOY and merriment
for the children, pleasure and good cheer
for those of more mature years and
day of mingled pleasure, sorrow and
sacred memories for those who are pass
ing through the twilight of life.
AS the day comes again, it causes us
TO wonder how many who are indulg
ing in this years festivities will be here
at the completion of the next twelve
month.
1t may be that on this Christmas day
will be seen the empty cradle, the va
cant chair and the accustomed voices
will be missed but for the sake Of the lit
tie folks, troubles will be put aside and
merry making will prevail.
Let the tots enjoy the day to the ut
most, let them believe, if they will, that
life is all mirth and laughter and that
it has only bright side, for the realiza-
ton of the real conditions will come
to them too soon, regardless Of what we
may do to defer it,
The day is not complete without the
typical feast and the giving Of gifts !;
however, nervous prostration and an
exhausted bank account are to be avoid
ed; we should keep in view the boundary
line that points out the limit of our re-
sponsibility, which is Identical with the
limit of our strength and resources. We
have Christmas work to do, but it does
not call for the destruction Of the worker.
It is not duty that bankrupts the body,
mind or purse for good Intentions that
wreck purses and nerves are not to be
commended. AS we enter the Christ
mas season we should keep within the
bounds of reason.
1t is, Of course, expected that the
various members of ones household will
be remembered with appropriate gifts
but there is another way in which those
whose abilities will premit may exper-
ience the feeling of satisfaction that
comes to the giver Of an appreciated
gift 1t is to discover, if possible, those
to whom Christmas cheer is likely to
come in an extremely limited manner or
not at all and, by the presentation OF an
appropriate remembrance, cause them
to feel that peace on earth, good will
toward men" is not hollow mockery
but, rather, that it has an appropriate
and impressive significance. The per-
SON reared amid plenty or abundance
has little idea Of the JOY the presentation
of Christmas gift, even though its
monetary value be Insignificant, carries
to the heart of the lonely, the needy or
the unfortunate. There may be none
such in your community but if there are,
see to it that they are not forgotten
when the Christmas cheer is being passed
around. Their expressions of pleasure
and gratitude will moro than compen-
safe for any expenditure or inconven-
ience that you may be caused.
