OF TOYS.
Ages Ago ~Infantile Egypt Played With
Dolls and Bats.

Up to the present. nothing, with
which mar has had TO do nj the pro
gress and development OF the human
race, has changed as little as toys.
Ages ago. infantile Egypt played
with dolls, boats, balls. dishes wagons
miniature horses and other animals
The little Greeks and Eomans amused
themselves with much the same play
things, except for the further pos
session OF a rattle. which some wise
Grecian gentlman WY kindly INVITED
for them.
We know this from the chance
words of a few early writer's, from
the sculptures which have been saved
OF the different ancient nations which
represent children in the act OF play
ing-and also from the fact that
man. small toys. closely analogous 70
many toys Of today, have been found
in the tombs Of the children OF by
gone aEes-dolls, balls, boats, tops
n tiny dishes, added To which there
were small warlike implements for
the boys, such as javelins and bows
n arrows.
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
in New York. there is a fascinating
terra Gotta boat, complete to the
smallest detail. says The Mothers
of an Egyptian boy Of four thousand
years ago..
Take the doll. one Of the few o!
the very old toys which fit into the
modern scheme OF playthings that
teach, as girls always have and al
ways will play with dolls because
they develop and foster the birthright
of every IN mother-love. The
early Egyptians made dolls Of earth
enwdre, metal or stone. Sometimes
arms and legs were made solid with
the body, sometimes separate and at
tached by a string. The prehistoric
Peruvians had pieces OF bone
in cloth, a male doll being identified
by h blanket over his shoulders. the
female by a petticoat.
Horace makes mention Of the stick
horses of the Roman children. Missals
OF the Middle Ages picture little peo-
pie still astride such makeshift steeds
and the ordinary iding horse of the
ordinary child. remained a stick with
a horse head until late in the seven
teenth century. One hundred years
later We find horse forms with cur
tains around them, so that the child
may run On his own legs beneath the
Sheitering drapery just as clowns in
the circus do today Early in the
nineteenth century rocking-horses
came into fashion. after which IN
1S47. horses were shown at the French
Exposition covered with hair and very
natural In form-the toy horse, as We
know him today

Iha GREATEST Gift.

Christmas stands for one thing-our
Fathers wondrous love to us. his
erring and unworthy children, In send
ing his only begotten Son into TINS
world to die for our sins and TO rise
again to be our Deliverer each DAY
from sin and selfishness.
Jesus Christ himself is the great
Christmas gift. The only true way to
keep Christmas is by first OF all ac-
ceptinc for ourselves this wondrous
rift of our Heavenly Father and then
TO show our appreciation Of this won
drous gift by giving ourselves ana all
that we have for others.
1t is a true instinct that leads us to
give to others Christmas presents, but
too often in following out this instinct
we give these Christmas gifts to the
wrong persons. We give to those who
already have too much and forget those
who have not enough.
God gave his great gift to the needy,
to those who had nothing to return for
his gift. Let us follow him. Let us
find the needy and give to them out
of our abundance. Every one who Is
in comfortable circumstances should
find some family that is really In need,
some family where there will be little
Christmas brightness unless others
come TO their help and give to this
family real Christmas. including
good Christmas dinner and some appro-
pirate gift to every member OF the
family down to the youngest child.
Don't do it through some society.
What is most needed is living and sym
pathetic personal contact between rich
and poor. Do this and you will have
as merry Christmas as you ever
knew.-Rey. X. A. Torrey
