they die out. Some new thing comes up and after living It's little day is given up for something newer. And thus it has ever been. But amid these changes the little child remains. There is no fad about any of Gods gifts. The absolute necessity of the little child makes him permanent.
 There is no standard by which the child's real worth can be measured It is an insult to his Creator to judge him in terms of gold. When the little one is sick gold is not thought of in the effort to cure him. Civilized na- him and think the money well spent. When the little ones of one nation suffer it arouses the whole world. The Belgian relief committee have sent to all ministers and other public men of the country a little baby's sock with their appeal, and America with her big heart has filled that little sock a thou sand times and more with her gold. Thank God that America is great enough to see that it means world dis aster to let little Belgian children go hungry and cold!
 Christmas can never die because it immortalizeS the child. Little girls play with dolls today just as their He brew sisters did 2,000 years ago. The croWning glory of woman has always been the instinct of motherhood, and nothing will kill a nation quicker than for it's women to turn down the holiest of missions. It is easy to see why the Virgin Mary should receive the ap- plause, the gratitude and admiration of mankind for her gift to the world was a child. and the child was the Christ of God.
