uptown and had an automobile with big wheels

Sam was silent. But Shew-Nom continued.
Il asked her if she was having party this
year again. and she looked very sad and said.
No. that this year she couldn't afford it.
She cried little. and sat very still. She is
very unhappy Christian lady,"
rs she unhappy because she is Christian
or is she Christian because she is unhappy"
But the only answer to that question Shew-
Nom could give was. she is unhappy because
she cannot give us little boys and girls party
this year."
"And my unworthy son has attended them?"
YES sin shan, and she remembers him very
well. Your son and me are the only Chinese
boys who 60 to this settlement. But she has

the big Christian book, as others have made
us do in order to learn more practical things
to say in good American. That's why we all
like her. Yet my father says she is more
Christian than people who make US learn
Christian sayings, and do not do themselves
the things they make us memorize"
What are some of these sayings?" asked
Sam.
'One is, DO unto others as you would have
Others do unto you, replied Shew-Nom.
VERY beautiful" said Sam. ''Confucius
says, DO not unto others what you would
not have Others do unto you And another?"
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.'
Sam replied by saying, "Confucius says,
Behave toward your neighbor as you would
behave toward yourse.. Go on"
1t is more blessed to give than to receive
''Confucius says, 1t is easier for a proud

receive gift And one more?"
"Love your enemies, do good to those who
harm you.'"
"Confucius says. 1t is. better to remove
enmity than to incur it. did not know
before that the sayings of Confucius and the
Christian code of conduct were so much alike
shall not ask you. Shew-Nom, because you
cannot answer me yet. but if the Christians
have these beautiful sayings. why is it they
do not always practice them?"
But Mrs. Blakesford does, sin shan. She
said the reason she couldn't give party this
year was because she was trying to return to
some people who needed it badly little of
the money they lost when her husbands bank
closed. He is now dead and she alone, but she
says she is doing what she can."
Shew-Nom paused. Sans eyes were closed
and he seemed asleep. So Shew-Nom slipped
the orange into his pocket. crept softly to the
door and went on home.
For a long time Sam sat there meditating.
Curiosity at last got the better of him. He
rose and unwrapped the package Mrs. Blakes-
ford had sent him. His bland and placid face
showed more surprise than Sam ever would
have displayed in public, because good manners
decree that ones emotions be carefully con-
trolled in the presence of others. He held in
his hand small but beautifully carved jade
Buddha. 1t was deep. deep green. and Sam
knew it was priceless. There was little note
with it, which that evening he had Coon Ming
translate for him.
The note said, 'You have been 90 friendly
and helpful this past year. and in another
week Christmas will be here. It is the time
among my people when we try to show our
appreciation to our friends for their many
contesies. Won't you please accept from me

Christmas meant nothing to Sam. It was
an American holiday - and made extra work.
that was all. And he had never been curious
about it. nor inquired a. to its meaning. But he
pondered long and placed the Buddha on little
stand and gazed at it all evening. The shades
Of the laundry were all drawn and the door
tightly locked. What if some thief knew he
had such priceless treasure in his possession?
He could not quite understand why che had
given it to him. But then Americans were
notoriously unaware of the value Of real jade
such as this.
But one thing he did know. Good manners,
according to his Chinese code, prescribed that
he should make gift Of some sort to Mrs.
Blakesford in return.
He read again that night from the phi
losophes. 1t pleased him to know that the
philosopher of the Christians had said things
similar to Confucius. And he knew - and ad-
mitted to himself - that in his heart he had
been a wicked and disoowteous old man to
have borne even thought Of politely insulting
Mrs. Blakesford.
He thought to himself. '.She Is a good
Christian lady. try being good Christian
man Just once
The next day he had long talk with Coon
Ming. In turn Coon called upon the head of
the settlement, who said che would be only
too glad to do exactly a. he suggested - and
she'd never, never tell soul.
Three days before Christmas Goons res
tarant was brightly lighted. Christmas
wreaths hung in the windows Streamess of
red and green were fastened from the booths.
In one corner was a huge Christmas tree.

just as you told me. But he is afraid that

"And how did she reply?"
She said to thank you for doing the

Letters Pouring In
Asking Christmas
Assistance
BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR

BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR
Approximately 500 families,
now on the Good Fellow Editors
list, have not as yet been taken
by Good Fellows. And pathetic
letters asking for Good Fellows
to play Santa to their children
keep pouring in.
Already a great many families,
however, have been promised a
Christmas by Good Fellows, and
The Washington Times is deeply
grateful for these splendid and
generous volunteer efforts of pro-
viding holiday cheer to needy
families.
We are also most grateful for
the cash donations that have been
sent in. Every cent of this money
will be used to provide. not toys,
but necessities like shoes, fuel and
food, to families who really are in
desperately poor circumstances
and who are grateful for whatever
they do get.
Fight Off Starvation
Why do we welcome each Good
Fellow with such gratefulness?
Because we know that many par
ents are actually fighting to keep
starvation from the door. Because
we know there are hundreds of
anxious parents and thousands OF
expectant boys and girls who, if
some Good Fellow does not help
them, will awaken Christmas morn
ing to find the holiday just like
any other day-their children i'll.
clothed, underfed and disillusioned
about Christmas.
We know that there is little
peace in homes where children are
hungry and cold, where Christ.
mas arrives with no visit from
Santa. We know that many per-
sons will even find a barren table
on Christmas if someone does not
provide their dinner.
1t is the heart that needs to
respond!
Not Much Needed
Anybody can be a Good Fellow.
Not a lot of money is required,
but a good. generous heart, thrown
in with the willingness to share
a bit of your own Christmas hap.
