THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT AND SANTA CLAUS

Christmas is again with with all it's kindly sent
ment and its pleasing customs 1t is the great rehgous
festival day for those of the christian fath commemor
atng it does the resurrection of the Savior and the
blessed promise that for too there will be resurrec
ton and another life with Him.
While proper attention is paid to the religious side Of
the event there is tendency to make it especially day
for the Young We have heard some find fault with this
phase of the observance Of the festival but it seems to
us that it indeed is chdrens day. for it teaches the les
son Of love Of all things of peace and Kindness OF charity
and brOthery love- of the bessedness OF gvng OF the
fact that indeed brothers Keeper and all the
other attributes that lift humanity above the brutes and
bring mankind that much to divinity 1t teaches
the doing away with jealousy and envy the putting aside
of hatred and sefshness the rising above pride OF self
and vain glory; Of putting check on our thoughts that
tend toward evil and bride tongue lest it should
do wrong to our fellow In fact the whole teachings
of the day are to guide the feet of the young into that
path that must be trodden by them when they obey HIS
command "Suffer little children to come unto me and
forbid them not for of such is the kingdom OF heaven
After all it matters little just what this or any day IS,
for no matter what it is it is the spirit with which we
observe it that makes it good evil And it is this
Christmas spirit not its mere name that gorhes the
day. Notice the busy shoppers with sparkling eyes ana
faces Illuminated with the divine light Of affection as
thev choose this for one and select that for another
thinking all the time Of the needs or desires of the intend
ed recipient and enjoying to the full the pleasure 1t Wl
bring to those others long in advance of them.
Watch the bright eyes OF mother, sister or the dear
old grand mother as their busy fingers create some little
gift to please or bring comfort to friends still deareI
ones into whose stitches has gone wealth of love and
tenderness that not only lifts up and gorfes the gver
but makes the gift worth than rubieS and above
all price.
What wonderful thing is this Christmas Spirit? this
Kriskngle? this Santa Claus? This divine entity tn It
invisible and intangible yet all powerful? No one can
answer and yet it is verify thing as real though us
mysterious as death At its coming the hearts of the
world are touched and humanity becomes all akin.
Whence it comes or what its origin we may not know
other than that it is divine and the pity and pathos OF
is that its visit is of such short duration and that 1t does
not remain and abide with us always.
