Charity at Christmas

There can be no holier sentiment at
tached to a gift on Christmas day
than charity, for charity combines all
that is good and tender in human
ideal, impulse and emotion. There is
a double joy in charity, for it blesses
two. 1t not only gives happiness in
the act itself, but it quickens and de-
velops, for all after life, pure, pre-
cious qualities of mind and heart that
are a well-spring of peace. Charity
comes nearer to spanning the immeas-
urable space between the sin of this
world and the holiness of heaven
than any other blessing that mankind
knows.
An ideal Christmas which would
really mean genuine good will among
men is one in which none should be
cold, hungry, shelterIess or friendless
one in which they who have would
think first of them who have not

ANCIENT CHRISTMAS TOYS
Dolls That Delighted Children OF Rome
and Greece in Early Days Re-
Gently ExcaVated.

Rag dolls are as old as the hills and
so are dolls with movable arms and
legs, toy dogs, rocking horses and
host of other things that bring de-
light to the children on Christmas
morning.
Recent excavations in the ruins of
ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt have
placed the British museum in posses
sion of an interesting assortment Of
these relics of early Christian days,
some of which may possibly have
been given to the children of the fol-
lowers of Christ at a time when the
observation of Christmas day was an
innovation.
In the nursery Of a newly excavated
house at Behnesa, Egypt, fairly well
preserved rag doll was found with
arms and legs still intact and painted
face. The doll is by no means beau
ty and does not compare with the
Christmas dolls of today, but neverthe-
less 1t must have brought joy to a lit
tie girls heart nearly 1000 years ago.
The jointed dolls of long ago we're
made to sit down, stand up and move
their arms. but they didn't close their
eyes or squeak mamma" Among the
toy dogs, horses and donkeys are some
made of stone and baked clay and
others carved out of wood.

the whole of Christmas week Some
folk say that "a green Christmas
makes a fat churchyard," but in Dew
onshire they say that a green Christ
mas makes a prosperous year.
SuperstitiOus people assert that one
should be careful about the choice of
the holly for the decorations. Part
should be smooth and part prickly.
Then, providing both kinds are carried
into the house at the same time, all
will be well. But should the prickly
variety he taken in first, then the hus-
band will rule the household during
the coming year; If the smooth is
brought in first the wife will be top

CHRISTMAS BELLS

Hark! Hark! | hear a distant bell,
And now chime-they softly ring;
What joyful tidings do they tell
AS back and forth they swing
IT'S mid of night-who rings those bells1
Perhaps soue doves there nesting.
And while each little bosom swells,
And warm, they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and 1t feels
So lncubated it would swing
To life and wake the world with peals
OF gladnesS as for new-crowned King
Those midnight bells. how sweet they
chime
The wellSin vibrates with their sound;
To hearts attune they are sublime,
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
10! now see, from East afar
A light shines through the steeple'G
frame
TITS brighter than the brightest star,
1t gilds the bells with golden flame;
There, too, l see some cherubs cling
Fast hold the ropes. How fair they bel
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
This is the Christ's nativity"
Wake every heart, join in their song
OF praise to Christ, our newborn King;
TO him our sweetest strains belong,
And his, our richest offering.
When wakes the god of day, and shines
Athwart the heavens, what of glee
Will wake as we'll? With box and pines
And flowers gay, yon house will be
Adorned and while the anthem swellS
With organs voice, all Christendom
viii vibrant be as are those bells
That Christ's nativity has come.

BELL.

Had 1 the power
To cast a bell that should from some
grand tower,
At the first Christmas hour,
Outring,
And fling
A jubilant message wide,
The forged metals should be thus alIed:
Not iron Of pride,
But soft humility, and rich-velned hope
Cleft from a sunny slope;
And there should be
White charity,
And silvery love, that knows net donbS
nor fear,
To make the peal more clear;
And then to firmly fix the dne alloy.
There should be Joy.

from skull In the churchyard and
keep IT In the pocket always. In
America. If you trim your finger nails
regularly on a Friday morning you
will never have the toothache. In Ire
land, Christian pilgrims who visit the
holy well Of Tubber Guam on the last
three Sundays in June, to worship st.
Guam, are required to give an Offering
Of hair as a charm against all possible
dangers OF toothache In the future.
To get the best results II Is necessary
to 60 three times around neighbOring
tree on the bare knees and then cut OF
lock Of hair and tie 1t to branch
Of the tree. This tree. fringed with
human hair, Is a sight, but. neverthe-
less, Is an object Of deep veneration.
