The Good That Men Do.

Thirty years ago Senator Daniel d..
Pratt Of Indiana died For thirty years
many poor children of Logansport-the
kind Santa Claus sometimes neglects-
have been receiving Christmas pres
eats. 1t has just been learned that
fund left by the dead man, who lived
at Logansport is the explanation of
these annual benefactions
1t was not large fund he left-just
enough to provide 500 a year; but
thirty years ago Logansport was Il
small town and that amount meant IA
great deal Even today it means some
thing. To the little children to whom
the dead man has been playing Santa
Claus so long, who shall say how much
it means?
There is the touch about this gift
that makes the whole world kin. Long
ago it was said that "all of the race of
mortals is child-loving That is still
true and will always be true, Whoever
does good unto one of these little ones
not only does it unto Him; he also
strikes the finest, tenderest, tensest
chord in human breasts.
We admire the man who leaves his
money for the benefit of humanity; but
humanity is so large word, SO brief
a thought, to most. We heed concrete
things to stir the personal depths OF
us. That is why we regard the man
who would give pleasure to little chill
dren with a sentiment more than and
different from admiration. lie gives us
concrete, appealing image for cold
and beautiful abstraction.
1t is customary for men to prepare
as best they can Cor death-"to make
their souls" as one phrase has it. What
better, sweeter way could there have
been than this-than by taking thought
for the children yet to come who might
find the anniversary of Christ's birth a
cheerless season?
