Limp and Empty Stockings.

Christmastide should not be cheer
less for any boy or girl in this Chris
tian land. Many man or woman
can recall the bitter disappointment
brought on Christmas morning with
the chilling effect it had upon the
heart. If such have come to enjoy
comfortable income, they should
not forget the poor at this season of
good cheer. Right at the next door
may be children whose stockings will
hang limp and empty on Christmas
morning unless some kind neighbor
remembers them and remembers the
stings of poverty at this season of
gifts and gladness. The cup of cold
water given in Christ's name, enti-
tling the giver to distinction among
the saints, includes the thoughtful
provision for some poor child's JOY
on Christmas morn. The opportunity
for bringing good cheer to some DESC
late household is yours now. I'm
prove it and it will bring you joy.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Christmas of the Past.

Once more we approach what
ought to be the happiest day in the
year, and yet for many of us it will
be only the elimination of a period
of mean worries, hurt-burnings and
unattained hopes. Is it necessary
that we so debase it?
Consider the Christmases that are
past. Are any of them sweeter to
remember than those of your child
rood? And is it the multitude or
the value of the gifts you received
that made them dear? On the won
derful morning that you remember
so well, there may have been some
popcorn balls and homemade candy,
or an orange or two, or pair of nit
tens, or set of paper dolls. Per-
haps if you were boy, there was a
pair of stills that your father had
made, or a sled; or if you were get
ting into young girlhood, little
travelling toilet case or jewel cas-
ket, or a workbox. There was moth
ing elaborate or expensive; only sim
pie things, most of which were home
made.
Your happiness was owing not to
the events of the day, but to the spirit
of it; to the rosy light of imagina-
tion that lay upon you, and the feel
ing of mystery that lifted the day to
height above all others; the mys-
terry of a benign presence that had
been working to make you happy,
