VALUE OF A CHILD'S GIFTS
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

If we stop to think about our
Christmas giving We realize that
gift means more to the giver than it
does to him who receives, If it is
given in the proper spirit the donor
finds out to the full that it is really
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," fact that is lost sight of in
an age of the commercial spirit.
With children there is a great edu-
cative value in their present giving
If it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. If the mother, however
simply prepares some little remein-
brance, and says Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen" the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
of the young giver And not only
has it no meaning, but it becomes
actually harmful for the reason it pre-
sents the idea to the child that the
gift without the giver is really gift.
And the child has put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving of that
present.
On the other hand, if the child be
given pocket money which it may con-
slider it's very own, or, better still, IL
it is enabled to earn pocket money and
Is then encouraged to set aside por-
ton of its very own money for pres
ent making the idea of true giving is
acquired. The sacrifice, the fore
thought, the love necessary to make
gift real gift are there.
The homemade gifts of children
have many valuable lessons to teach
the young givers. Many lessons in
sewing, raffia, bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise of max
ing gift. In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts,
and really never learned to sew we'll
until she was eighteen years of age,
the younger sister, girl of ten, in
spired by the example Of small
friend, wished to make birthday gifts
for her family. Once she asked her
mother to teach her how to crochet;
another time to scallop, and before
she was twelve years old she had be-
come as proficient a. little seamstress
as one would want to see.
Thus practical lessons are learned,
while the child is inspired with the
idea that Not what we give, but
what we share; the gift without the
giver is bare"

EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DAY

Something happens at Christmas that,
If only for day or two, does the

A number of persons who feel the

uncomfortable memories; Marley
