MILLER. The whole world Is a Christmas tree, I And stars Its many candles be. ♦ 1 The spirit of Christmas should he one of love, charity, sympathy and hospitality. Christinas means the anniversary of the birth of Christ, and ; only the best impulses of the human . heart should characterize the season J of rejoicing and giving. 1 Perhaps, when we are puzzled and J worried about our Christmas gifts, we |> may not bo wholly unselfish our- ? selves, or wo may bo striving to give :• to him that hath. If you are doubtful [ about the appreciation your little gift l> may receive try giving it to someone J' more needy, and the doubt will quick- .;. ly vanish. Oftentimes the gifts most J; easily selected and bestowed express | the truest spirit of giving. Cease to * give when it becomes a task, for it is •b Not what we give, but what wo share, the gift without the giver is bare. + Is there a Santa Claus? The Ger4. man named Krist Klndlein. Christ child, finally became corrupted into Kriss Kringle, a being now identified J with Santa Claus. Saint Nicholas, a X synonymous term, was a Greek, who f died about 343 A. D, He was con--4 sidered a patron of the children and a J good genius of the gift season. Santa 4 Claus means the spirit of Christmas. The custom of hanging up stock4 ings on eve in England and was brought to this 4 country by the Pilgrim Fathers. * Decorations and music are fndispen--4 sable for the Christmas season, and X these are within the reach of all. It 4 is an ancient belief that the mistletoe .. -- 4.-- S•> r. t-.fl 1 .. I , , IAO it'

contains medicinal properties, and it was supposed to have the power to £ dispel any evil spirits. •• Since Christmas symbolizes the birth of the Christ child what a griev- < ous custom it is to make the cbntraction Xmas stand for all that is so t good and beautiful. Surely wo can >•' take time to write the word t out fully £ and portray a picture of beauty and ••• dignity in commemoration of the holi- £ day (holy day). I- Ob. sing a carol Joyfully, ;■ The year’s great feast is keeping. FORGET IT. By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS. i The Christmas tree is all alight between us and the trenches; beyond it ’ lies a grevous fight and suffering and stenches; this side of it are all things good, and little folks are singing, and over field and stream and wood their joyous tones are winging. So let us pull the curtnin down on periscopes and dying, and spread our smiles all over town, and cut out sobs and sighing. The little folks know naught of war, and little folks are happy; they have no notion what it’s for nor why the kings are scrappy; and we know no more than they do of the outlandish reason; so let us sing: “The skies are blue, It is the Christmas seasonl” So let us bring the turkey in and tote in wood for mother, and polish up our Christmas grin and try to love our brother. The world is full of friendships yet, the world is filled with loving, and love outshines a coronet, and sympathy beats shoving. So let us load the Christmas tree and let us wear a posy and join the children in their glee at ring-around-a-rosy I — Houston Post.
