Rome Of the report of the failure of
the Austrian drive in Italy, coupled

the passages found in Isaiah SEQ,

Holy Spirit, offering all apple of gold

whom it is offered repeatedly rejects

Christmas Is
Children's Ddu

The message of Christmas is love.
It's emblem is radiant. thankful, con.
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be no
real Christmas. The form might sur
vive but the substance would be lack
ing.
Unhappy must be the adult who can.
not make himself child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are supcrfluous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the da' glorifies.
Let lis, then, lay aside the affecta.
ton and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let US adopt their point of view and
put ourselves I'm their places-in the
places OF these sons and daughters of
purs and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only year or
two ago, as 1t seems. when we hung
our well-worn stockings in row along
the mantel shelf. while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and I. 1t all comes
back in a flood of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentiOus than those our chill.
dren voice now. Modest remembances
they were that bulged toe and heel Of
the stockings mother knit.
Life and It's circumstances change,
