from your hand:
There Is something better than hsT-
Ing;
We are richer for what We give:
! And only by giving we 1.-Two.
Your last years. presents arc soatterod
and gone:
You have almost forgotten who gave
themi
But tho loving thoughts you bestow
live on
AS long as you choose to have them.
Love. love Is your riches. though ever so
No money can buy that treasurn;
Yours always. from rnbber and rust So
cure.
Your own without stint or measure:
II Is only love that We can give;
1t Is only by loving we 1.-Two.
For who Is It smiles through tho Christ
mas morn
The light Of tho wide creation?

Whose love Is the worlds salvation.

i all
That can make our life worth the liv-
Ing:
And happy the Christmas day we call

He shows US tho way To live:
Like Him. let US love and give
