to celebrate that momentous event is
by keeping the old message OF good

hearts Of all.
To be plain and brief the spirit OF
Christmas is kindness toward our
fellow men--toward the needy, the
lonely. the unfortunates in our civt

gathering strength and university
down through the ages. All the cere-
monials on Christmas day are out
ranked by the general feeling and de-
sire to Increase the happiness Of
others. For that is what the Christ
mas spirit is. 1t is not the cost Of
the gift that counts. but the spirit
that goes with II.
The world is growing klndlier and
better. and this is why each succeed

Santa Claus and the Joy Of children
