The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1909-12-23

! Christmas children who have tais
lexperience? There are little or,
phans whom death has robbed OF
those whose greatest pleasure oi
the Christmas it would rave been
to make their. children happy.
There are children whose parents
through illness or other misfor-
tune are unable to provide for
their children as their hearts de-
sire, and some parents, alas,
whose parental instincts are so
blunted that they are Indifferent
to the happiness of their children.
Such poor children are in almost
every community.
DO they not appeal to those who
are IN more fortunate circrm-
stances? The parents of happy
children, who may be able to pro-
vide for their children all that love
can devise-does not this picture
and the unfortanates it represents
4 ". II te them? Adults who yet
remember distinctly through the
mist of the years that have come
and gone since then how keen
their grief when they had a like
experience in their childhood
would not they find happiness in
preventing this experience falling
to some child during this coming
Christmas?
Children cannot reason as older
people can. The child does not
understand cause and effect as
these relate to family circum-
stances. Our customs and tradi-
tions are responsible for the Santa
Claus faith in children, and in
consequence of this faith all chill
dren expect to be remembered by
Santa Claus.
And child desires are small.
Read the letters of the children
to Santa Claus-they make you
smile at the modesty of the wishes.
Even the most presumptious of
the children, those who have the
longest string of wishes, could
have every wish fulfilled at the
cost of few dollars, and few are
extravagant in their wishes. Yet
while these wishes are so small
and so easily filled. failure to have
expectations realized when they
have taken this hold is a tragedy
in the child-heart.
Why not try to prevent this
whenever possible? No one could
make his own Christmas more
happy than by the knowledge of
having prevented the poignant
grief over an empty stocking of
some poor boy are girl. Who
will be the Santa Claus to fill a
stocking which would otherwise
remain empty, and in this way
make two hearts happy, the hearts
of the owner of the stocking and
of its filler?-Augusta Herald.
