blessed, must answer to the great call
Of the Christ spirit which rings through
the world. He whose sacred birth we
celebrate was above all else man OF

is the dearest of his titles. Whoever
bore trouble as ne did? Whoever Sc
grandly lifted the burden? Who SO

many backward glance at the bun

His Santa Claus costume was tucke
back in the bag, and he was trudg-
ing along the road, dOggedly deter

there came the warning sound of a mo-
tor horn and he was overtaken by his
brothers car.

come down this way, SIR" said the
chauffeur as Jack entered the car, land

turn home by way OF the village so he
could replace the presents he had hung

leaned back and gave himself over to

An hour later the lost Santa Claus
was jOyfully welcomed at the Briers

departed to bed with their toys Jack
found occasion to draw his sister-in
law aside and ask:
