In this world the most beautiful
thing is charity which gives without
hope of reward or return, simply for
the love of giving, and for the love, and
for the love of other human beings.
Present giving is a custom of remote
origin. and seems TO have run the course
of me years without fashion or circum-
stances being able to Danish it. The
Christmas tree has supplanted til Ydle
log and the mistletoe, but this is be-
cause OF its being more common and
convenient, and of the decree of the
little ones, who would rather go wild
over its beauties than marvel at the
mysteries of time honored usages.
We are almost out of home girls;
girls who are mothers right hand;"
best to mamma, and smooth out the
things get twisted; girls who father
takes comfort in for Something better
than beauty, and big brothers are
proud of for something that outrsnks
the ability of leading dude.
This is a sort of topsy turvy world
| No one seems to be satisfied. One man
| is struggling to get justice, and snoth-
er Is flying from It, One man is saving
up to buy house and another is trying
hard to sell his dwelling for less than
lif cost to get rid of it. One man is
spending ALI the money he can earn in
taking a girl to a theater or show and
sending her valuable presents in hopes
that he may eventually r axe her his
wife, and his neighbor is pending all
the gold be has saved trying to get
divorce. One man keeps a pistol TO
protect himself against burglars, while
his neighbor doesn't keep one for fear
of shooting himself Oh some member of
| the family. One man pays for his pa
per in advance because he can read it
with a greater relish, while another
takes it four or five years without pay
| ing one cent for it, and enjoys it huge
ly all the while. Such a queer old
world this IS.
We're sent into this world to labor,
and do our stunts As best we can; to
lend hand to friend and neighbor, anu
hep along the needy man We're vast
ing time when we are roasting the foes
across whose path we've run; we are
here for idle buasting Of sordid triumphs
we have wp7 We're here to make our
best endeavol but not that we may
hoard and save, and pile the plunder up
forever, till we are piled into the grave;
we are not here for ostentation, to ride
in yachts abd motor cars; we're only
here to carr salvation, and hew a path
way 70 the stars. Each man is here to
help anothe-, to give, where charity is
due; nd TO Il men to be brother, and
to the Lord servant true. And so,
when we are titled with yearning, to
talk of thiBgs we've done today. 10
boast Of wealth that we are earning,
Of wealth that we have laid away, let's
think about this thing Of living, and
VII { life's forflnd wheace-and why;
let's think about the wealth we re Civ
ing-it's better for rs when We die!
