Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unkind;
Search down among the novels
Where gladness seldom strays,
And teach the sad ones there that
There still are Christmas days.
You have been busy planning
To spread your gifts afar.
To add your fair love-tokens
Where the joys and comforts are;
But have you in your gladness
Bestowed one kindly thought
On those who sit in darkness,
Whose crusts are dearly bought?
Your heart is full of kindness,
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up at the windows
Where ribboned wreaths are hung;
You've heard the sweet old story
With reverence retold-
But there are hungry children
Where all is dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unkind;
Go down among the victims
OF chance and greed and crime
And cause them to remember
That this is Christmas time.

disabled and sailed simply to be saved
from himself Ben had been a decent
fellow and had a wife and two little
children. but drink captured him, rem
dering him of no use to them and only
q burden to himself. Indeed, he was a
burden to them also till he left them.
Once aboard and subject to discipline
he slowly righted, like ship after
squall, and his own real identity reas-
serted itself. Fortunately for him, we
were or for long voyage, and there
was not drop of liquor aboard ship
except under my charge, and ! never
gave Ben a drop from the time we
sailed till we got back to the port we
had left three years before. l liked
Ben Paddock and did everything
could to help him get rid of the habit
that had ruined him. persuaded him
not to take shore leave when we made
ports, and at such times I often stayed
