The Spell Of Christmas.

we are elated. even jubilant, ready
for laughter and tears. sympathetic
with the children In their glee. tender
toward the poor and forlorn, strange
ly accessible to life's best memories,
reverent toward religious faith. and
almost willing to go to church. All
this may seem to our pagan mind as
foolish as revival OF religion. some.
