An~excess of tea is liable to retard

CHRISTMAS AND THE SPIRIT
Necessary to Manifest unselfishness
and the Love Christ Brought
to the World.

Two artists were asked to make
copy of a famous painting. The one
made mathematical calculations, and
produced technically correct copy.
The other studied the painting, entered
into the spirit Of the artist, and pro-
duced not merely an imitation, but a
picture which gloWed with warmth
and life. We are not, as Christians,
simply to copy Christ, but rather to
become possessed Of his spirit and SO
reproduce his life In our lives. AT
this Christmas season let US aim to
become possessed of the spirit of
Christ, and so reproduce his life.
In little Women there is story
told by Louisa Alcott out of the ex-
perience of her own early days. The
four children who are her heroines,
knowing of a neighbor in need go in
a little procession and carry her their
breakfast. Another incident may be
recalled. 1t may not have been pre-
cisely Christmastide, but it was WIN
ter, and the weather was bitterly cold.
The stock of wood was low, and night
had fallen. when there came a knock
at the door A shivering child stood
there, saying that her mother had no
wood, that the baby was sick and the
father gone on a spree. She begged
for a little wood. "Divide our stock
with her." said Mr.. Alcott, "and we
will trust in Providence. The weather
will moderate, or wood will come" No
wonder that the children trained in
the Alcott household grew up heed
less of privation and generous to those
whose need was great. This is the
true Christmas spirit. If our Christ
mastide is pervaded by real unselfish-
ness, we shall manifest to every one
the love that Christ brought to the
world.

MAKE 1T A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Cause Others to Be Happy and Feel
the Joy of Sacrifice-AIl in the
Front Ranks.

Christmas!
Every year it comes and every year
we love it and wonder why we haven't
made the spirit of it last all through
the year, writes Margaret Mott Cor
don. Perhaps we do not have the
time? But to what do we give our
time? And why is it that at Christmas
we all take time' to do the many lit
tie thoughtful things that we have
been postponing for months and
months?
One of the things we seem to forget
is that the more we give to others the
more we have ourselves, and the more
we have the capacity for giving. 1t is
a wonderful thought and one that we
should carry around with us all the
time. For we always feel so tingling
and joyous when we have made sac
rifice or see that we have really made
someone else unusually happy.
This year for most of us is very diff
ferent than any we have yet lived, be-
cause, even though we are not all &C.
tually on the firing line, we are there
in our hearts and the thought cannot
but give us a strange exultant feeling
to be in the front ranks, marching
with the music!
After all, that is just what the spirit
of Christmas is. During the Yuletide
we are all in the front ranks and tri-
umphantly moving forward, for we are
thinking, not of ourselves, but Of
others. And that very sense which
loves and therefore serves, which I'M
derstands and therefore sacrifices, is
the true spirit of Christmas. 1t is the
real thrill of life. 1t is the greatest
and most far-reaching emotion in the
world, and just to know that we are
G0pasle cf that feeling, even though it
should come only once year, would
show that there is the right spirit with
in MS. and with little cultivation we
might make it last all through the
year.

HAWKINS

About $50 people witnessed the first
basketball game of the season Satur-
day night. when the Hawkins high
school defeated Ingram p to 4. 1t was
very clean game, neither a personal
nor technical foul being called on eth
or team. The Hawkins boys showed
speed and fight. but Migrants guards
prevented them from running up high
score. At times Hawkins showed
spurts of good team work. but many
times they were unsuccessful in find
ing the basket after they had worked
the ball down. to it. w. Schupsky
played an exceptional game, following
the ball all of the time and the Hawk
ms boys showed superiority in passing
and handling the ball.

WASHINGTON, JAM 1t.-MemberS OF
Congress are apparently trying to OUT
