Useless GIVING

There is marked return this year to
the real and original spirit of Christmas.
People have banded themselves together
into societies for the prevention of use
less giving. This does not mean that
the splendid custom of exchanging gifts
with loved ones and frien'S is to be dis
continued or discourage in the least
1t simply means that people are putting
more love, and less money into their
Christmas packages; that they are cut
ting out the perfunctory giving to people
from whom they may possibly receive a
present and to whom they give present
simply to be on the safe side. There is
none Of the real spirit of Christmas il
this. Every gift made at this time
should carry the heart with it, A gift
which is made to impress somebody with
our ability to afford things. or that is
sent out simply to offset some gift that
may be received, is simply an abuse OF
the most gracious custom and the most
blessed day. People are turning time
back few centuries and remembering
Christmas is day in honor of Him who
went about doing good and that real
Christmas gift should carry with it the
spirit of Him who gave Himself with
every word and deed. This is the check
that has long been needed to an abuse OF
custom which keeps the world peren.

just before it is too late, that it doesn't

are as how many friends we have and
how well cOntented we are with our lot
