use the word Sin" in connection with
slvins. None the less, the two words
may very appropriately go together un-
less we are careful to say that soma
so-called giving is not true giving.

ing Little self-sacrihces are highly
appropriate for the sake of giving To
the dear ones, in fact add value to the
gifts, but forcing sacrifices upon Others
is a different matter.
Not always does free-handed giving

TALLY more important than g~ift-gtytnR.
1t would not be hard to find cases IN

Ing all around
Not SO very nan years ago a wom-
an who had gone to extremes in trying
to remember many well to do friends
and acquaintances, accidentally learned
that nj to whom she had habitually
sent handsome gifts had spoked OF her
as almost a s~pendthrift because Of her
giving. and had touched severely upon
some OF her devices for putting OF
creditors. She sat down in humilia-
ton and studied the matter out. then
asked herself. why should I make
Christmastide a time of doing what
is really dishonest? Can I claim any
merit while I follow such a course 2"
She decided not to give a single gift
that year for pure loves sake. and then
only In a simple way. 1t cost her pride
some pangs to carry out the resolution.
but h fourd herself happier than In
former years.
A father who put high value on tho
force Of example in the family talked
no a little about seeing that all his
bills were paid before Christmas SO
that every n who dealt with him
might have belonged to him in
time for Christmas spending. This
same father noticed that his children
asked for a good deal OF money as the
holidays approached. He advised with
earnestness. BE moderate, be moder-
ate. What o use now you can have
later and you'u want funds for sweet
charity's sake at other times. Give
what Is reasonable, but don't let
Christmas eat up the whole years GIT
| money"
Many parents ~unconsciously teach
lavish and unconsidered giving by their
own doing. Though they deny their
children many things at other times
on the ground of cant AFFORD" they
provide many and very snowy presents
at the holiday season.
It is easy to go too far in doing
what the heart approves. Thinking
ahead, rational balancing Of what -
good in one way against what is right
In another, are useful allies in the deld
OF heart activities.

my mouth. I knew II I once began
the whole thing would come out, and
I hadn't the nerve.
The next morning we fixed up q bas-
ket of things and at 9 o'clock we
started out to take them to the woman.
She lived away out on h edge OF the
town and I was wondering how much
farther we'd have to go when Jane
stopped In front OF a dilapidated look
ing house.
She was Just saying: This Is tho

door and came out to meet US. Three
little girls were clingtng to her skirts
and a boy stood in the doorway.
I've brought you the groceries"
Jane began, n just then she looked
up and dropped the basket as If she'd
been shot. / knew something was
wrong. but I couldn't make 1t out.
Jane didn't want to go in, but the
woman was anxious for us to see the
things she'd bought for the children
with the money Jane had given her.
It's going to be a fine Christmas
for u.s." h said, what with coal
enough for a week that the Sisters Of
Charity sent yesterday morning. And
last night at 10 o'clock they sent us
a fine big turkey that someone had
given them unexpected. I can't ave.

that's been done for U.S."
Jane had looked sharply at me when
the woman toll about the turkey. but

our way to cousin Mary'A I didn't
know how to begin.

and fixing her eyes on me, "Im

They want to help and arc too often
denied this privilege. When they feel
that they have a part and are expect
ed to take that part to the best OF their
ability In Christmas giving. they find
no time for discomfort, their minds are
filled with right thought.
Helping in any way, no matter how
small, stimulates the desire to do more.
Help your child to find someone less
fortunate han himself to make happy
at Christmas time. Help him to DO
something for his child that will bring
real happiness to him and let 1t be
done with loving thought and forget
giving a broken toy. a garment ugly or
unfit to wear, a dinner consisting OF
food the recipient does not care for,
though 1t may be excellent
A poor woman said to a charity
worker once. please let us have m
thing the children will like. We are SO
tired of useful things"
A little girl announced. Fl always
give to the poor on Christmas"
"Oh, I don't see the toys. Father
sends some things from the store that
no one will buy"
She v knew the real blessedness
Of giving.
A group OF children I knew, calling
themselves Santa Claus assistants, ev-
cry yea gave a good time to some
dozen or more children, who otherwise
would not have had a very happy day.
The day before Christmas was chos-
en- for the party" as It was called.
The assistants" invited children whose
parents or the children themselves had
done service for them during the year.
Washwomen's children, a newsboy, a
motherless child whose father did "odd
jobs" and other little lonely ones who
came their way. Great care was taken
to ascertain just what would give the
greatest pleasure to each little visitor.
the giving. Only loving comradeship
existed between the giver and him who
received. The needed money was
earned M donated. 1t was a willing,
happy service given by healthy minded
children.
Christmas music has a real emotional
effect upon children and helps them to
feel the holiness of Christmas day. The
old carols tell over in various ways the
story of Christ's birth; it Is a pity
that so few children know them.
A family Of four children We're taught
several of the old English songs and
always marched down to breakfast
We're able to Join In with them and they
all stood about the table singing In
unison before gifts were opened.
Plan a twilight music hour for every
day OF a fortnight before Christmas
when the children sing some of the
wonderful old story poems that lead
up to an appreciation of Christmas as
a holy. day: Silent Night, Holy
night" While Shepherds Watched
Their Flocks by Night" and the many
other sweet old hymns, simple, melod-
ious and full of interest for all child
rem.

not take from its Joy and happiness
for the little folks. Rather will it lead
them to bear In mind It's wonderful sig
nificance, recognizing it as a holy day
while they max it a holiday, and their
Christmas time will send them back to
the everyday life feeling. although they
can't express it, that they have been
truly born anew into His divinity as
He was born into our humanity on
Christmas day.
