WONDERFUL SPIRIT OF GIVING

Another year is nearing it's close and with its ending comes that glad time, the Christmas holiday season. The ab- sent ones are home again or if they cannot come there are the letters and tokens to be sent and received. The remembrance need not be expensive as to money value, to be very much appreciated.
 Christmas is pre-eminently the chil- dren's day. Do not insist that Santa will not remember them if they are not good. For we all know that Santa Claus will surely come and the chil- dren know it, too. He did not forget us in our own childhood whether we were very. very good or not. Let us teach the children about the wonderful spirit of loving and giving that brings a happy Christmas time.

OPPOSED TO CHRISTMAS PIE

The Puritans were not alone in their opposition to mince or Christmas pie. The Quakers also fought against it, and at length even many good peo- pie of the Church of England began to think that clergymen should abstain from it, against which prejudice Bick- erStaffe thus remonstrates: "The Christmas pie is, in it's own nature, kind of consecrated cake or badge of distinction, and yet it is often for bidden the druid of the family. Strange that sirloin of beef, whether boiled or roasted. when entire is ex- posed to the utmost depredations and invaSionS. but if minced into small pieces and tossed up with plums and sugar it changes the property, and for sOoth is meat for his master"

And at the thought of Christmas without q tree, Ter voice which had been tfemuIous, broke into a half stitied sob
 Florence looked very thoughtful. then said in comforting tones, But your fathers at work again isn't he?"
 "Yes."
 And your mothers health is much better"
 "Ycs, we expect her downstairs for Christmas day"
 Well, then ] think, Jane, that you should have great cause for rejoicing at your house-Ghristma tree, or no Christmas tree"
 Il had not thought of that Florence, but you are right"
 Sometimes, think we lose the real spirit of Christmas continued Jane. 'by thinking that Christmas comes from what we get oe give instead of realizing that 1t s Ilsla u Our hearts.
 By this time the friends had come to the parting of the way, and With a friendly nod and Goodbye went to their homes to vision anew the possi- bilities of Christmas.

A SAFE AND SANE CHRISTMAS

Societies are being organized whose members are pledged against giving Christmas gifts outside their immedi
 ate families. Christmas giving has been overdone, aud if the intemper- ance can be checked in that way well and good. But let Us hope the re formers" will not try by legal enact ment to impose their views upon oth- CTS. There are many things in this life to be remedied. and most of them should be remedied without resort to gislation.-Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger

Dick and Jimmy were visiting their grandmother. One night when they were saying their prayers Jimmy voiced his petitions for Christmas presents in tone that could he heard a mile.
 "Why do you pray for your Christ mas presents so loud?" interrupted Dick. 'sThe Lord ain't deaf"
 ''No," whispered Jimmy, "but grandma is."
