Christmas.
lSelected.1

1t is the week before Christmas
The center of American thought is
not now far away, but is conferred in
each American home. 1t glows about
father and mother and brother and
sister and shines with brighter radi-
ance, for it is the self-centered
thought of love. The very air is sur
charged with kindness to others. All
the thoughts of this week will be
about what Mary will be most pleased
with, and how happy mother will be
when she sees that nice-but that's
telling, and half the pleasure comes
from the concealment. Half the good
OF giving comes from keeping the left
hand from knowing what the right
hand is doing. Nobody doubts the
pleasure of Christmas morning but
The pleasure of the week before is lust,
aS intense and is longer drawn out.
The morning of Christmas day is rich
IN It's reverence and smiles, but the
/ week before Christmas is educational
TO the heart and soul. The heart be-
gins to sprOut at Thanksgiving and it
swells until the week before Christ
mas when it is ready to burst out into
full bloom from the accumulated sap
OF human kindness by which it has
been fed. The week before Christmas
has never had its dues The brightest
week before Christmas that ever hap
pened was some twenty or fifty years
ago-it is tedious to count dates.
You rem ~ Der all about it.
You were little thing, but you
never in after life were quite so
important to yourself. There we're
WhisperingS which ceased when YOU
entered the room and when you woke
up about midnight you found the
lamp still burning and your mother
still up and working on something
that she put under the chair when
you turned over in your bed The old
turkey gobbler in the pen was gobbliDg
all day long &c his former associates
on the outside and eating corn with a
gluttony which was to bring its own
recompense. You found out for the
first time that the business world had
been working overtime all year espec-
tally to stock up on Christmas gifts
for boys and girls. You had your own
gifts for the others hidden where even
one of Poe's wonderful detectives could
not have found them-in the middle
of the woodpile or hung down in the
unused stock we'll in the field. There
is never a week before Christmas to
/ equal those that came then.
