M This is a day for inagnifyM ing the blessings of peace, rw ** not selfishly, but with the re- « W Juicing that should attend — « the reminder that we have A u a cure for the troubles of the ! “ world and a part in the 4£ i spreading of the remedy.

Si&ShShSiSi&Sj SERVICE MORE THAN GIVING Deepest Spirit of Christmas Does ’Not Confine Itself to One Day, but Is Manifest Entire Year. 1 1 The deepest spirit of the Christmas outpouring that flows over the Chris-

tian world is the impulse for human — service that runs through the whole i year. It is easy to give recklessly out of 1 a one’s abundance, or even to share carefully one’s pittance. The distribution , of Christmas dinners through hundreds of self-denying families means a day's happiness for the giver and receiver. But it is greater happiness to both to follow through the year with i i aid to self-dependence, encouragement to hope, and support in striving for , better living. This is the giving of self, and they | who know how to give of themselves wisely are the highest givers. The best feature of Christmas is its material expression of a whole year of human service that runs like a thread through human lives. Only these holiday glimpses reveal 1 to the careless how many are dedi--1 cated to a share in this unobtrusive ' service to the humbly striving and to the uncomplaining needy; how many s families are under constant stimulus to the best sort of self-help; how many children are being quietly led to a higher level of living and striving for I themselves between Christmas and - Christni«»
