EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DAY |
Christmas Spirit Almost Universally
Felt, But What II Is Remains a
Mystery to Many.

The emotional value of Christmas
may be said to be universally felt
Something happens at Christmas that
If only for day or two, does the
whole world good. What that some
thing is remains for many a mystery.
A number Of persons who feel the
renewing impulse are like Faust when
the notes of the Easter song arrest
his suicidal intent; they take and en-
joy the moments deliverance and con-
tinue to regard the source of the boon
as nothing more than mythology made
potent through human associations.
Others are moved through supersti.
tious fears; they approach the great
season with consciences crowded with
uncomfortable memories; Marley's
ghost is after them, but, unlike
Scrooge, their new heart is only for
Christmas week. Another group sim
ply fall in with an ancient custom
and are surprised, and indeed pleased,
when the dry bones Of their unbeliev-
ing minds come together, take on
flesh, and begin to live. A vast null
titude meet the great day with buoy
ant expectation. take with thanks its
new happiness, return to their work
IN this exalted mood, End ask no ques.

VALUE OF. A cHILD's GIFTS
Those Made With Their Own Hands
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

| If we stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that q
gift means more to the giyer 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-
catiye value in their present giving
if it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. If the mother, however,
simply prepares some little remem-
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 its very own, or, better still, II
1t Is enabled to earn pocket money and
is then encouraged to set aside por.
ton of it's 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. s
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 a gift. In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts.
and really never learned to sew well
until she was eighteen years Of age,
the younger sister, girl Of ten, in
spired by the example of a 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 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"

New Dispensation. Whoever sins
against knowledge endangers his op-
portunities for life everlasting.
A Forsiving Spirit Necessary.
Verses and 4 are apparently part
of the discourse recorded in Matthew
1S:15-o2. The lesson is for Jesus fol-
lowers, not the world. as shown by the
injunction that. if necessary, the mat
ter come before the Church. The basis
of the argument is that all need Divine
mercy. because all are imperfect; and
that to assist us to cultivate this grace,
the Lord has arranged that His bless
ings Shall be dependent upon our en-
deavor to exercise this Godlike quality.
1t seems strange that our forefathers
and ourselves were so deceived by
what ST. Paul styles doctrines of dew
lis Il Timothy AID that once we
thought of our Heavenly Father as alb
solutely unforgiving because His hu-
man creatures had sinned. We insist
ed that the wage of sin must be eter-
nal torment. How little we understood
the real character of the God Of all
grace. the Father of mercies!

great deal which passes for faith
Is mere credulity. The faith commend
ed in the Bible relates to things which
God has promised. We are encouraged
not to question His ability to accom-
plish all His good promises. Our fore
fathers had too much confidence in
men. They swallowed the creeds of
the Dark Ages: and the more absurd
the proposition. the more faith they
thought they had. They should have
said. Where has God declared such
things?' Those who defended the
creeds cried out against sober faith
branded it heresy and burned the truly
faithful at the stake.

sea. proper faith on their part would
bring the desired results. But God
gave no such command. Hence faith
would have no basis for operation in
such cases.
Some amongst Christ's followers are
naturally progressive. aggressive or
self-conceited. Becoming His disciples
does not change these natural traits
instantly. Old things pass away
gradually. These classes must remem-
Der that the work of Gods grace is
His favor toward them; and that
obedience to His commands is primari-
ly for their development.
We are all Improbable servants, in
that God could easily do without u.s.
None of us is indispensable to his
work or His glory. Quite the contrary,
the opportunity for entering into the
Lords vineyard and laboring therein
Is chiefly for our own advantage. The
service brings us experiences neces
sary for our qualification for higher
service beyond the veil.
