a STORY EoR ono Ahp YOUNG.


the story with tears Of appreciation in
her eyes, little story of last Christ
mas, pathetic but with something in it
SO big and splendid as to overshadow
its pathos. Here's the story:
Two small boys, brothers-cau them
the Jones boys because that isn't their
name-came to school to her at the
- school In Marshalltown, little
fellows they are, and from home
where the wolf fingers just beyond
the doorsill. Last Christmas the boys
received one present between them,
sled. Their little cousins in a home
where the wolf had passed the door
and ruled the house received not one.
So these little Jones" boys with their
single remem brance Of the Christmas
time took their sled down to their little
cousins whose plight was worse than
theirs and left 1t. That's the story.
Here's its application: The children
inside the homes Of poverty and mis-
fortune are your little cousins and
mine 8 they are cousins OF the
Jones" children. What did we leave
with them last Christmas? What will
we leave this Christmas?
The little boys who left their sled
left something bigger than their pres
ent, they left the assurance that those
deeper in trouble and misfortune than
they are not forgotten. That cheap
sled is the finest gift that passed from
hand to hand last Christmas in this
city. And the children who gave it
are nearer God than we who, pray
ing aloud In the synagogs forget the
poor and unfortunate.
The need IS not SO much for that cold
charity which parts with money or old
clothes but for the personal interest
and feeling between man and man like
that displayed by the little boys who
laid their mighty sacrifice upon the al
tars of human interest and good will
toward men before the true spirit Of
Christmas. Dodge and deny as we will
the children Of every father are the
step children Of all men, the children
of every mother belong to all the
mothers. All men are brethren in the
sight of the Child that was born in
Bethlehem and the little children of the
unfortunate are all our little cousins.
Not what are 1--WE" going to do about
it, not what are you" going to do but
what shall ~ do is the real question OF
Christmas and It's answer rests on
Individual lips. For when we are come
to be judged according 70 the deeds
done or left undone in the body the in
vestigation will be personal and in
dividually searching. And the little
sled that two children parted with in
joy and tears shall in that day loom
we imagine and acclaim mighty. For
the real value of the gift to the giver
and the recipient Is measured by the
spirit which gives and receives.
In the center Of the strongest treas
ure house Of the French repu bile locked
and Guarded lies ribbon Of platinum.
1t is the exact measure of a meter, the
standard Of all decimal lineal measure
ment. All measures that do not con-
form to 1t are spurious and counterfeit.
Back in the history of the Founder
Of Christmas Is the story of the
widows mite. And as the ribbon OF
platinum is the true measure of the
metric system so is the Widows mite is
the unaltered standard Of true giving.
