It IS a good thing to observe ChrlstmaS day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make mer- ry together, is wise and whole some custom. It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. It re- minds a man to set his own little watch, now and then, by the great clock of humanity which runs on sun time.
 But there is better thing than the observance of Christmas day and that is, Keeping Christmas.
 Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people and to remember what other peo- pie have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duties in the middle dis tance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the Foreground; to see that your fel- low men are just as real as you

Ghostly Christmas Bells
 To Greet Merry Yuletide

Amongst the bells which will ring out to greet the coming Yule- tide will be many ghostly peals, heard on no other night in the year, for tradition says that the bells of all buried churches join the chorus every Christmas eve.
 There are the bells of Raleigh, once a prosperous village in Not tinghamshire, now only a country valley. All sign of habitation was swallowed up many years ago by al earthquake It is said that ev- cry Christmas Eve the bells Of the old church are heard to ring again A legend of this kind is teid Of a country church near Preston, the very name of which nobody knows.
 In Holland the story of the city of Been is told every Christmas. This wonderful place was famous fol it's magnificence and beauty, end also for it's wickedness and shameleSsness. One day the en- tire city was swallowed up by the sea.
 The submerged walls of Dunwich. now covered by the sea, are said to join the ghostly chorus.

Few of us really spend our Christ mas plodding through fresh-fallen SncW to a little house in the coun- try whose inartistic commonplaces hcve been covered with a white | 'Gnket. But we like to choose cards that show such scenes. For the cold outside suggests the glow e warm retreat within It comes down to us from ancestors lar away that here by the fire we defy frost and storm" You will see people looking longest of all at pictures of a hearth where a fire blazes, above which stockings 3, lang, before which little children sit, nodding off to sleep.
 Children around the hearth are at the heart of Christmas, and always have been. For children so readily catch this spirit of good will and kindness, and bubble over so joyously The little mysteries, the sudden closing of closet doors, the sudden dropping of voices to a whisper, have excited them. They know that these are happy secrets. Has not every dire threat that Santa Claus might forget the n been spoken in tone of jollity that told their shrewd young minds that no one was really angry? Trust them to know the spirit be- hind their elders words and tones.
 How great a thing this Christ mas is that it can bring its bless ing even to little children. How far back the impulse had to start to be so strong that it would over flow until it reached the lives of the children, who do not really understand, but who feel so truly that at this season everyone has grown kinder.
 "Tidings of comfort and joy, v they sing in the words of the old carol. And they called the mes sage of Bethlehem the good news" ," Not an old, familiar kind of good news-not that those who had lit tie should have a little more, or that those who had much should be blessed again with the joy of something left to wish for. But to all a word that there were better things possible in life than the little reliefs from grief or loss or want. Good will" was the message thinking kindly of people until the very kindness in ones own heart casts out the resentments and the wants and the contradictions of life.

Christmas Picture Book, says a writer in the London Star. It re- veals the fact that the first Christ mas card ever printed was issued only as recently as 184G
 The card, which was printed for Sir Henry Cole, first director of the South Kensington Museum, is reproduced, along with many other efforts by artists, to celebrate the nativity. They range from wal rus ivory relief from Cologne to a modern woodcut by Eric Grill. It is strange to see how the artistic wheel has turned full circle back to the medieval austerity.
 But I can't help liking the first Christmas card, which features, :" as the films say, a hearty meal.
