AS TO CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.


Do not think of cutting down
your Christmas presents. Give
freely according to your means. If
your heart is heavy for the agonized
people of Europe you need not be
frivolous in giving. But whether
the giving is joyous or in in the
minor key, there neverwas a Christ
mas when the obligation to give was
more pressing.
A general contraction of Christ
mas present making this year would
unquestionably have far reaching
disastrous effects.
It.would mean to manufacturers
and jobbers heavy unsold stocks;
to retailers it would mean shrinkage
of ,rade and disappearance of profits;
to the transportation interests it
would mean the loss of regular an
nual business; to the wage workers
it would mean widespread lack of
employment. With number out
of work in this city at present it is
pitiful to think of the eagerness with
which scores of men and women
must look forward to the Christmas
furry as hope for earning a few

Wise givers will naturally adapt
their Christmas remembrance in
this troubled year to the prevailing
temper. Unitarian considerations
will be likely to guide them to an un-
usual extent. But it is to be hoped
that the inspired trifle will not be
entirely dropped out of currency.
The money spent filtering back
over the counter through the. chan
nels of trade to the starting place
will help in some degree, great or
little, a losg line of anxious capitalists
and workers, great and small, to
weather hard times.
