The Christmas spirit is in the air One cannot escape

Something of the spirit of Him Whose birth we cele

in poor way try to follow his example at Christ
time. We greet friends and strangers with the
cheerful salutaton-"Merry Christmas. There is joy
in hearts and laughter lips. We look about
Us to who it is that needs aid and willingly we ex-
tend it to them.
The poor. the sick and the unfortunate are not for

fairs forget these the greater part of the year but
at Christmas time we at least try to make amends.
Christmas is primarily joyous time for children
and we older are led back by the simple and
beautiful story of the Chrstchd of Bethlehem to our
own childhood days Something of the innocence and
peace of those days return to We want to be at
peace with the world and with ourselves and wish Joy
to all our fellow-men.
The greatest Christmas gift could receive would
be to have this Spirit of Christmas remain with US
throughout the year. He Who the Babe of Beth
