CHRISTMAS PROVERBS

The love-light in the eyes OF the
precious ones of the household is the
most brilliant of Christmas illumina-
lions
The soft Christmas light is not the
least welcome where the shadows Of
bereavement have fallen during the
year. The Christmas angels hover
over such dwellings Of sorrow in min
istrits Of divine love.
1t was the Christ who said: ct
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." Again, he said: "Inasmuch
as We have done it to one of the least
of these, my brethren. ye have done II
unto me-"

Mr.. sTAYBoLT ASSANrAcLAUs
Some Things He Would Like TO Givs
n He Could.

do you know the Christmas pres.
ent I'd like to make II / cculd?' said
Mr. Staybolt. 'Td like TO give cheer
fulness to the downhearted, courage
to the timid, and strength to the weak;
the power OF self-denial to those who
yield too easily, and a desire to work
to the lazy.
Il have often thought what q pity
1t is that you can't buy all these
things these helpful qualities, already
put up and at such price as to put
them within the reach of all; canned
cheerfulness, bottled hopefulness,
courage in tablets. and strength, say,
In the form Of a powder, and so on;
or you might, suppose, put 'em all
up canned for that matter.
"But in the absence of such market
preparations and our consequent in
ability to buy such things and send
them as gifts to those whom they
might most benefit perhaps you will
permit me to offer to each a word of
suggestion.
ITO the dispirited take a cheerful
view. To the downhearted, don't dwell
on the doleful side. To the timid,
don't be afraid To the weak, or those
who fancy themselves so, try your
strength. You'll be surprised to find
how much you've got.
To those who yield too easily, deny
yourself once, and again, and feel tho
Joy and strength that win come back
to you To the lazy, get job with a
shovel, in gang OF laborers, under a
driving boss; and If you are not glad
to get back to your present job to do
the best you know how at it, miss
my guess.
81 can't send you these things in
cans or bottles; but II anyone of you
will take my advice and stick to II,
you'll think that Mr.. Staybolt was a
very kind Santa Claus"

RULES FOR CHRISTMAS GIVING
Give willingly.
Give tactfully.

Give willingly.
Give tactfully.
Put thought into your giving.
Don't consider return gifts.
Never give to others what you
wouldn't want yourself.
The unexpected gift insures a spe-
cial appreciation.
TO give ostentatiously is the height
Of bad taste.
Give to the sick and the sorrowful II
you would know the true Joy Of giving.
Never give more than you can af-
ford. Your friends know your circum-
stances as well as you do yourself and
the pleasure of both giving and re-
ceiving is lost

At the Manner.

At the Manager.
When first, her Christmas watch to keep
Came down the silent Angel, Sleep.
With snowy sandals shod,
Beholding what his mothers hands
Had wrought, with softer swaddling-
bands
She swathed the Son Of God.
Then. skilled in mysteries OF Night
With tender visions OF delight
She wreathed his resting-place.
Till, Weakened by a warmer glow
Than heaven itself had yet to show,
He saw his mothers face.
