DAY FOR CHILD,
 CHRISTMAS DAY

December the 25th IS the Day of the Child
 It is upon. this day of days that countless men and women and lit tie children barely able to speak their language utter the great re- joicing For unto us a child is born, unto us Son is given.
 Even those who hold creeds in which there is no Christmas feel the splendor of that cry and those who have no formal creed at all, still know there is one of the 365 portions of the year which is es- sentially the Day of the Child.
 It is the day when even the most unsentimental adult long since con- gealed and hardened by the years. can hear ill his heart, the foot steps of the little ones. Today they are running about as eagerly all over the world pattering to see WidJ Soou SHto Hlay llt'NC pcOii received, ardent with hope any young hearts can feel

transition from babyhood to reality. School days begin for them. The wise, thoughtful parent selects toys for them which stimulate group play. Dull, to those children, are the toys that obviously teach les son. But interesting are the toys that teach lesson under the guise of fun and not in the classroom. Mathematics can be fun if the youngster applies it to counting change for customers in his make believe store at home.
 After being in the classroom all day, children want to release all the nervous energy within them. Toys such as tricycles, small scooters and junior bikes are helpful for the guid- ance of all such young exuberance

 Almighty God, heavenly Father, who hast blessed us with the joy and care of children Give us light and strength so to train them that they may love whatsoever things are true and pure and lovely and for good report"

HAPPINESS IN
 THE HOME ON
 CHRISTMAS DAY
By M. LoUIsT c. HASTINGS

Christmas is here and no matter how tragic a state the world IS in. no matter how difficult the home problems happen to be, we mothers must strive to keep the little world around us happy and sane. Feeling strongly the spirit Of goodwill toward others is one means of preserving this tranquility It becomes a means of character growth for all who enjoy it.
 There are different ways of doing good in our small corner Of the world. One is through services of love. No matter how young the child is, little lessons of kindness and helpfulness are always ln or der. The happiness that results is it's own reward.
 We who are parents give of our selves in spite of ourselves every day of our lives, yet little folks must have special experiences along these lines, otherwise our sacrl- fees may increase their selfishness and mean for them me, myself, first, last and always which when developed is difficult attitude of mind to change.
 !. It is a simple thing during the Christmas season to teach the joys of thinking of others. When even the tiny children make trimmings for the Christmas tree they can be made to understand that they are serving others. But the prefer ences of different members of the family must be considered in order that this consciousness may be reached: Mothers should allow the children to share in trimming the tree. There is happiness for the adults, it is true, in seeing the sur prise and hearing the eXclama- tions when the tree they have trimmed is first seen, but sharing is the keynote of home together ness" Children who do not share in this way miss something beautiful.
 I think the mother should always plan to have the children make some of their gifts at Christmas, or else provide gifts that mean a sacrifice of some sort.
 n,o1 daIiohtf,,1 ,r,aI1 ad,1oa tional feature which our children should have an opportunity to share is giving the birds a Christ mas feast. Every experience tn a t children meet is recorded in their 1 subconscious minds, and each ex- l perience does it's part in laying i the foundation stones of character. Feeding the feathered friends dur l ing the cold Christmas holidays will benefit the children quite as much as the birds
 A little tree decorated with wired popcorn and cranberries is one sug- i gestion for this project. Melted suet, nodded in muffin tins, wound with wire end hung up in the trees, will delight chickadees. Suet fast | ened to the tree trunks will be food for the woodpeckers and nut matches. The empty skins of grape fruit with wire handles may be filled with prepared wild birdseed and hung for the seedeaters.
 We are always happy when we
 make happiness for our friends
 and the birds are among oul friends-whether we are grown-up
 or only five or six years old.
