OLD TOYS AND NEW JOYS.

DO YOU ever get tired " your old
TOYS: Do YOU ever think that there
is no more fun left in them: Have
Won felt that the Christmas things
YOU have received books. pictures.
TOYS. etc. arc no more fun or are Of
no more interest: If YOU have
thought or felt this. here is way 10
make them even more interesting than
they were AT first. Does that seem
impossible? We'll just listen:
suppose you have a locomotive or a
doll Of which Won are tired. Lend
them. YES. lend them TO some other
child. Then YOU will see how much
fun there is in them. Then perhaps
the other child will show You new
things 10 do with them. If this lend
Ing doesn't make the toys seem more
interesting. give them away TO some
child who hasn't any toys. and thea
it will make YOU happier than You
ever imagined YOU could be to see an
other enjoy them.
Lending things always makes you
appreciate them more If you nave
books. and you lend them, you Will
always like them better afterward. It
is Just like meeting good friend
when they are returned. And be-
sides. think how fine it is To have
YOUR things give other folk real pleas
arc.
There are some people who exchange
things. one gives one picture to
,cep for a year. and the other BOOK
or another picture 80 that they always
have the feeling Of giving some one
pleasure. and they keep on loving their
own things more and more.
You see that by giving much pleas
urc YOU cannot help getting pleasure
too. OF course. this is not the reason
we should try to give happiness. but,
nevertheless. no one can give pleasure
without feeling bigger and finer and
stronger. and therefore happier.
Did YOU ever read Dickenss
"Cbristmas Carol? If YOU haven't,
read it. and YOU will see how old
Scrooge found this out, when he was
an old man.

moon hid itself and the darkness came
