Couldn't See 1t.

1t was supper time, the house was
lighted and the family was seated
around the table for the evening meal.
The meat platter was passed around,
the mother helping the younger chill
dren. Due to miscalculation, the sup
ply on the platter was not as great as
usual, and as a result the slices were
smaller. Little Agnes, six years old
and hungrier than usual, noticed this
and whispered, "Mom, l can't see my

good cheer and gift-giving. From
another viewpoint there is an encour-
aging growth of the spirit Of the ut
terance Of Elizabeth Phillips.
Eighteen years ago Elizabeth Phil
lips had On inspiration to make the
anniversary of Our Lords birth not
so much an anniversary Of happiness
for the few as an anniversary Of hap
piness for the many. She had vision
of those who have giving to those
who have not. And from her humble
beginning with a few hundred poor
children have come the thousand and
one Christmas givings the country
over that are making the holiday year
by year one Of happiness to increas-
ing numbers Of the poor, the friend
less and the hopeless.
Elizabeth Phillips-she has been
dead these thirteen years-had her
inspiration In 1904 In Philadelphia.
She was a teacher in the public
schools. She lay Ill in a boarding
house. She saw the cold rain Of au-
tumn beating against her window.
She thought Of the Christmas that
was coming.
christmas will not mean very
much to me-" she thought. "But II
ALTO many. If l could only make
1t a better Christmas for some Of
those. l can; know I can. I will
try"
As soon as she got we'll she began
to work out her plan. Through the
cooperation of President Roosevelt
she was enabled to secure hundreds
Of letters to Santa Claus-every
Christmas season these letters come
in flood to every big-city post office.
Then she made 1t her business to
visit her friends, to call upon a host
Of new ones, to solicit help from
everybody, everywhere, collecting two
cents in one place. five cents in an
other place, a dollar somewhere else,
and by the time Christmas eve arrived
she had filed several hundred stock
ings.
The fame Of Elizabeth Phillips
spread widely. And she had visions
of q nationwide movement along the
line Of her successful experiment.
"A Christmas stocking for every
child!' she said. "The Christmas
day is coming when Santa Claus shall
visit every child in the land and none
shall be forgotten.
"It is my purpose to make Santa
Claus a reality, whose home will be
in every home and who will be the
friend Of children everywhere. The
most important thing is a permanent
headquarters-the House Of Santa
Claus. And over the door there will
be a statue of the old fellow with a
pack of toys on his back. When the
children pass by they can say, There's
where Santa Claus lives-he sees that
every boy and girl gets stocking
filed with Christmas things at Christ
mas time
There Santa's work will be carried
on-not only during the week before
Christmas but all through the year.
And besides. it will be a home for as

with misf0rtunes or have lost their
breadwnner through sickness or
death shall have that simple and fun
damental opportunity without which
democracy means itte-the OpD0rtu-
nifty to live u family life. 1t is labor
ing In season and out of season, just
like Miss Phillips, to demonstrate to
relief; that a scanty and penurious
relief of family which merely makes
it possible for it to eke out drab
existence is not intelligent relief;
that this relief must not only be ade
quate in amount but regular in its
provisions.
OF New York's zone hundred need
lest cases" in 1921. eighteen concerned
young mothers and children under the
care of the State Charities Aid asSo-
citation. These eighteen were given
instant relief In addition the sum
total of children saved from serious
and distressing situations reached the
number of 70. These additional chill
dren were helped from funds not des-
ignated for particular cases. In some
cases considerable portion has been
conserved for future use. Here, for
instance, Is a sample report of the
association, which shows what Christ
mas giving can accomplish when done
In the right way:
Raymond, of Case No 80, the half
starved, half-naked baby rescued
from a desolate room, had a desper-
ately hard fight for his life. The doc
tors at the hospital tried every sort
of food, but Raymond's was so serious
a case of malnutrition that nothing
seemed to reach the tiny spark of VI
tality. Finally, as last resort, blood
TRANSMISSION was tried, and this had
the desired effect. Raymond reacted
almost Immediately; and was soon
able to leave the hospital for free
cOnvalescent home for babies In the
country. From there he recently
went to a foster home Of his own. an
unbelievably sturdy and vigorous
child. Amount received, $500; amount
spent, s72.73; balance on hand
S227.27."
So. at Christmas time A. D. 1922,
q multitude of organizations all over
the country will gather from those
who have and distribute among those
who have not. There will be Christ
mas good cheer In homes where other
wise 1t would be lacking. Encourage
ment will be given many who had
well nigh lost hope. Lives valuable
to the state will be saved. And there
will be JOY where there was sorrow.
The activities Of these organizs-
tions Of course vary widely Some
give gifts. some give food, some give
clothing, some give money, some give
pose and inspiration are the same:
all are born of one idea and all aim
at the same goal. This goal is to
make Christmas day everywhere the
day of JOY 1t should be in Christian
nation celebrating the anniversary Of
the birth of Our Lord.
1t Is no eXaggeration to say that
much of this Christmas giving is the
result of Elizabeth Phillips inspira-
ton eighteen years ago rs she lay III
in her boarding-house room. To this
Philadelphia school teacher is due in
no small part various movements all
over the United States that embrace
the collection and distribution Of
Christmas cheer and Christmas char
ity.
The spirit of Elizabeth Phillips goes
marching on.

many children-orphans- can
stuff into it.
Il hope to build up an organization
in the National Santa Claus associa-
ton which will be Joy not only to
the children but benefit also to poor
people everywhere"
For four years Elizabeth Phillips
continued her work. The Santa Claus
association grew with each succeed
ing year. 1t came to have many as
sistants with a fleet of automobiles
and an army of giverS in the cause of
Christmas giving. The movement
spread to other cities and thousands
came to know her name and love It.
But the results of her work, though
great In the estimation of others,
seemed small to her. And as the re-
suits became greater and the work
increased the goal seemed farther
away than ever to her. Her work
was halted by illness, and she was
forced to watch the Christmas of 1900
draw nearer and nearer without being
able to keep on. Despair took hold
of her and she ended her life.
But the spirit of Christmas that
animated her did not die with her.
She had done her work too we'll.
From her inspiration, directly or in
directly, have sprung the Christmas
givings Of the Christmas clubs, Big
Brother and Good Fellow movements
and Needy Cases campaigns and the
Christmas activities Of municipalities,
community centers, newspapers and
business concerns.
For example: A New York news
paper took up, three years after Eliz-
abeth Phillips death, the task of sup
plying the Christmas needs of 'the
hundred neediest" The task, too
great for one Individual, one organi-
zation, was distributed among a great
body Of those best able to shoulder
1t, just as Elizabeth Phillips aimed to
do, and as the givers increased In
number so did the receivers multiply.
Organized as clearing house for
the benefit Of all the many charitable
organizations. concentrated as a focal
point for the contributions Of all the
many previously unorganized and
aimless givers, the ''neediest" cam
paign began It's career In 1912 with
the Christmas distribution of $4,000.
Each year 1t spread to greater
breadth.
For such was the success Of this
movement that newspapers In other
cities took up the idea. And such was
their success that still other organi-
cations copied the plan, others and
still others, first in one section, then
In another all over the United States.
Philadelphia has similar movements,
so has Pittsburgh, Chicago, st. Louis,
Denver, San Francisco.
The idea, just like the aim Of Eliza
beth Phillips, has been the means Of
pointing out that such relief Is some
thing more than the giving Of tinsel
top, is something that has deeper
significance than spasmodic giving,
useful as that sometimes may be- It
has been the instrument Of bringing
whole-hearted generous help to fami-
lies In need and Of bringing at the
same time the satisfaction to a large
number Of Christmas donors Of
simple and direct method of translat-
ing Christmas generosity into terms
of health. happiness, good cheer, the
essence of the Christmas spirit.
The modern Christmas spirit has
gone farther than mere giving at
