DAY OF DAYS FOR KIDDIEs
Christmas Outranks All Other Holi-
days for the Happiness and Mer-
rymaking of the Youngsters.

Above all other holidays, Christmas
is children's day. If possible, they
should be made happy on that day.
But they should not be permitted to be
seldshly so.
In times past there has been tend
sncy on the part of many of us to give
too many gifts, and too expensive ones,
to our children. We have been waste
/ full. We should not love our children
less--indeed we would show greater
lovely being careful what we give
them. Too many toys incline children
to be both wasteful and destructive.
When the youngsters are left to in
vent some of their playthings, their
lmaginations are developed, and they
become more capable of doing things
for themselves and taking care of
themselves.
This Christmas would be good time
to begin teaching children unselfish-
ness and the joy of giving. Many a
poor mother is struggling to provide
! food and shelter for her children and
has nothing to give them from Santa
Claus. The children of such mothers
lare going to have wide, wistful, tear
stained eyes. They are going to crave
the joys of Christmas day that may
not be theirs.
While our fathers, brothers and sons
are at the front, risking health and
| life for US, for our country, for good
in the world, let us not forget those
children who lack fathers care and
protection. The good. fellows are do
ing much, But they need our help
both in giving and in seeking out the
needy. They need our aid in distribute
ing. as well as providing.
Let us not forget the spirit for
which Christmas stands. 1t is to give
freely, to do service to mankind. Let
us give love. Let us give sympathetic
understanding. Let us give ourselves.
He lives most who lives for others.
And he who shall have made a child
happy on Christmas morning will have
done service in his name.
