1t was indeed gracious time, and

monies and find foolish beliefs Of
Christmas Past, we might regret what
we have lost in this tanner and less
picturesque age. if we did not know
that never before in history was
Christmas kept SO truly and heartily
in the spirit OF the day as it is now.
We have dropped a good many rude
and some pretty customs. but we have
gained a broadening spirit of almost
universal charity, a feeling of real
brotherhood, that is perhaps none the
less real that it is held in check a
good deal during the rest Of the year.
