SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY
Best Way to Celebrate Christmas 10
to Do Something in Memory Of
Childhood Days.

FT SEEMS that when one
has grown a little old, the
best and the happieSt way
~ to celebrate Christmas Is to
to do something for remem-
brance-in remembrance of ones own
childhood, for Christmas is really for
the children. after all
1t Is for children more than for 9th
ers because 1t is day that cOmmem-
crates the birth Of a child-that won
drous Christ child that was born Ia
manger Of stable in the little town
of Bethlehem 1900 years ago.
Now, there will be scarcely a child
In all the world who will not await
the dawn Of Christmas morning with
that day when the morning stars sang
together, end when peace on earth
and good will toward men were pro-
claimed from the high heavens. But,
there will be many child TO whom
Christmas will not bring its dearly
longed-for happiness.
The children Of the rich will not
be disappointed, nor will the children
Of the very poor be disappointed. 1t
is the child who has not rich or we'll
TODD folks, but who, at the same time,
is not subject for charity, who will be
unhappy when Christmas comes.
And 1t is this child that you should
seek out and make happy-for remem-
brances.
You see, it is fact that we can
make a happy Christmas for ourselves
only by making some one else happy.
Do not think that you can make a
happy Christmas for yourself any 9TH
er way, because you cannot do so.
Try the way here pointed out. The
child is easily found, and when you
have found that one and have made 1t
happy, the very angels Of Sod will
envy you the gladness that you will
feel.
