Christmas Afternoon

THE afternoon Of Christmas day
may be rather quiet one for the
older folks. The gifts have been
unwrapped and arranged and lowered
over from time to time. The usually
tidy room looks like bazaar for the
sale Of fancy goods Perhaps neigh
bors and other friends may come to
exchange merry Christmasesr' and to
say, May l thank you here for your
lovely gift?" And after the departure
Of the visitors certain names will be
cheerfully erased from the list of pros
pective thank you" letters.
Between the dark and the daylight.
after the callers have gone and the
children have returned from their play,
comes the peaceful and happy Christ
mas evening The great day is dying;
Christmas Is nearly over. 1t will be a
whole year before we shall enjoy its
merriment again or remember happy
Christmas seasons Of the past. We
may lose many things-home. friends,
health. money-but memory abides,
and no one can take from us the hap
piness that has once been ours.
On Christmas night we remember
the old days. We think OF those who
were once here to share our joys.
christmas never can be the same
again. many people exclaim when
they feel as II the JOY of life has gone
forever. II we all took that view
Christmas itself might die. 1t de-
Ponds upon deep spiritual insight.
Let us, II we can, forget for today
our troubles and even our sorrows and
try to rejoice. II we have children
about US II is not hard to be merry,
but II we have none of our own there
are great many who ought to be
made glad and may be found with but
little trouble.
A merry Christmas to you all! And
I would add Tiny Tins words. God
bless us. every onei"-Dolly Wayne In
