The Christmas
Spirit

EW-WiNN THE grim business of war,
UIAkGlIl and under the spur of con-
E,@HHyD.A servation pleas wrongly un-
BInT1ESMIl derstood, there is danger
A!AttGH this year that something of
the Christmas spirit win be
lost. Never before has 1t been more
important that 1t should not be. The
Christmas spirit as well as civilization
and liberty must be saved. The world
is In the midst of war that is wrench
ing mems hearts; a nation that has
made peace its emblem is throwing it.
self and every resource into the con-
flict; on all sides sons have parted
from mothers and fathers; news of
casualties is being received. Under
such circumstances it might be natural
for the weak to yield to depression.
THIS must not be. There is a brave
and CHEEKY side to the picture, which
must be kept constantly in our hearts
and minds.
Preserving and accelerating the
Christmas spirit Of other years win
help do this; omission of the usual
acts of Kindness and generosity win
add needlessly to the depression that
all are trying to drive from them.
Hearts were never In greater need of
cheering than this year. Nor was
there ever greater need for an outlet
of the spirit Of kindness and generos-
ity In man. We are engaged In the I'M
pleasant business Of bringing to her
senses by force a brutal government.
That is the task of the hour. But 1t
should not be permitted to blind our
eyes to the things wholly Of the spirit,
to dull sensibiIities into disregard Of
obligations less pressingIy important,
but equally essential to the preserva-
ton of the finest type Of American
manhood and womanhood. That Ia
why charities In war times should be
more generously supported than in
days of peace: why this Christmas
should be made, Ii possible, cheerier
and happier than any Christmas that
has gone before.
There are some people who cannot
afford to observe this Christmas az
they have observed it In years pre-
ceding. There are others who can bet.
ter afford to be generous than ever.
All should give in proportion. There
is no reason why they should not, and
every reason why they should. Not to
do SO win be unpatriotic and selfish.

Particularly have the habits of Eng
land and France held us; the former
because she is our mother country, the
latter because of the unquenchable
dear memory of Lafayette, and more
recently because of that same spirit so
gloriously upheld today by Frances
noble sons. And this holiday time
finds US with our eyes turned thither-
ward for more poignant reason-for
there aren't many homes who cannot
claim father, son Or brother "over
there"
And it is well to know some of the
homely, sweet little superstitions
which prevail among the people Of our
allies.
In England and in Scotland the say
ing goes that it is unlucky for anybody
but brunette to first cross the thresh-
old on Christmas morning.
To~bake bread on Christmas day is
praiseworthy, and loaves baked then
Will never grow moldy. In these times
of scarcity of flour, the poor loaves do
not stand half chance to mold
Woe to the housewife who on this
day turns a mattress. 1t BODIES i'll luck
for the whole year.
A superstition which had it's origin
in Devonshire tells us that it is bad
form and i'll luck indeed not to wish
the bees good morning and the compli-
ments of the season. On Christmas eve
the hives are decorated with springs
of green and bit of red ribbon. 'Tis
also said that bees sing all night on
Christmas eve. But bees are rather
perpetual singers, anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail, in
northern England and Wales, that the
birds and beasts have some mystic
connection with the Nativity. Hence,
the farmers and landowners purchase
sheaves of oats from little boys who
sell them as our boys sell holly. These
bundles are placed in convenient high
places in trees and fences, that the
birds may partake. The cattle, sheep,
goats, and even the pigs are all given
double the amount of feelings on
Christmas morning.
In Lyons, France, at the Founding
hospital, a very pretty custom is to
welcome the first baby that arrives
with special honors-a beribboned
cradle, padded basket, soft clothing,
solicitude and a bestowal of gifts, and
careful attention. This is done in ex-
piation of the poor welcome given to a
Wee Child of Bethlehem 20 centuries
ago, and a beautiful thought 1t is.
In some provinces in France it is
considered bad luck to cross a strange
threshold on Christmas day.

tLegsylAgA who called him ''Father
Martin" One Christmas eve
Father Martin, who had been reading
the story of the three wise men who
brought their gifts to the infant Jesus,
said to himself:
IF only tomorrow were the first
Christmas day and the Savior were
coming to this world tonight how /
would serve and adore him l know

He arose and took from a shelf two
little shoes. 'Here is what / would

smiling. 'Does the Savior need my
poor shop and my shoes?"
But that night Father Martin had

you have wished to see me. Watch
the street tomorrow from morning I'M
til evening, for shall pass your way"
When he awoke the next morning,
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take
place, FASTENED to put his shop in
order, lighted his fire, drank his coffee
and then seated himself at the win
dow to watch the passersby.
The first person he saw was poor
street sweeper, who was trying to
warm himself, for it was bitter cold.
''Poor mani" said Martin to him.
SELF "He must be very cold. Sup
pose offer him a cup of coffee"
He tapped on the window and called
to the man, who did not have to be
urged to accept the steaming coffee.
After watching in vain for an hour
Father Martin saw young woman.
