A Perfect Christmas,

Let us try to imagine what scene
the world would present If all men the
earth around could have and enjoy one
perfect Christmas-one day in which
the Christmas spirit should manifest
itself in every human heart in all its
happiest, truest, largest meaning.
What foretaste of the millennium
such day would be! What sorrows
would be mitigated, what misery as
suaged what enmites. jealousies, bit.
ternesses, would be buried never to be
renewed! Such Christmas even for
one day would be source Of immeas-
urable blessing to the world. 1t could
not fail to break the crust of human
selfshness beyond restoration and set
many springs Of kindness and good
will flowing, never to cease. While
such a Christmas. even for a day. can
exist only in the realm Of dreams. it Is
within our power to make each recur.
ring Christmas measurably like 1t by
translating our wishes into deeds. by
making the best of our means and op-
portunities to make life Il little bright.
er and little sweeter for those around
ns and little nearer like the life we
tould truly wish for all mankind.-Les.
