WHOLE WEEKS CELEBRATION
Descendants of Old Spanish Settlers Observed Christmas With Din
 ners and Parties.

Among the descendants of the old s9panish Ssettfers wey find that 4 they iob. serve a week in the celebration of Christmas. This begins one week be- fore Christmas. In the daytime they have dinners at each others homes, and in the evenings they give series of parties at the different houses. In tho evening the young folk go to the home of one of their number and knock, and then all begin to sing. Those within the house ask, "Who is theTe?' and the answer is, The Vir gin Mary and St. Joseph seek lodging in your house." To carry out the Bi- ble story they are at first refused ad mittance, and then the door IS opened wide and they are all given hearty welcome.
 On Christmas eve the old and young all join together and have a big celebration. In a large hall they fix I'D one side to represent the man. ger, and here they very solemnly give a little play in which many take part, the characters being Mary and Jo- seph, the wise men, the shepherds and the angels. This play is very real to them, and they all play their parts with a reverent spirit.

Never before have we so seriously Almighty God. There are thousands of heayy-hearted, world-worried men and women who will never find fife worth4r.liVing.~ until their lives are linked with Jesus Christ.
 There is no safety save in service, We must use or lose. The Dead sea gives nothing out, and that's why it is dead. Many lives are like the Dead sea. If you would have the joy of Christmas, you must find it in doing what Jesus did. He went about do- ing good. No one will ever find the Christian secret of a happy life save by trying to make it easier for others to do right and harder to do wrong.
 There is joy in lifting any burdens of others, as the little girl found it who was carrying her baby brother across the street. He was almost as big as she was.
 Isn't he heavy" asked passer-by. "Oh, no; he's my brother"
 You cannot be a Christian without being a good fellow in the sense of trying to help others to be good, or, as someore has put it, Except you erect the cross in your own heart, Jesus will profit you nothing"

 Gratitude inspires in us the grace of giving.
