THINKS OF FRIENDS - AT CHRISTMAS TIME T CHRISTMAS time more than A at any other season of the year my thoughts turn to the old friends. Memories and recollections of the old home circle come thick and fast; father—how grave and serious he was—and the older boys and my gister, and dearest of all—mothen. They are nearer to me at Christmas than at any other time of the year. It was mother who told us the Ohristmas stories and filled our stockings after we had ull been sent off to bed. I knew I should always find raisins in mine—mother knew well how I liked them. I never see a box of raisins today without recalling all the Christmas joys .of childhood—and mother. How far away these old friends are! Most of them are lying silent and still in the little country cemetery near which we lived, and all that are living are scattered.

The college community in which we live is nomadic and shifting. The friends of today pass on rapidky and are gone tomorrow to the remotest parts of the earth. The old friends are everywhere. No matter where I go—New York or San Francisco, Minneapolis or New Orleans, Naples or Edinburg, Paris or London, I happen upon them. I met one in Pompeii; I had hardly been ten minutes in Toronto, where I thought I knew no one, until I alimmost ran head-first into an old acquaintance. : Where are your old friends? “Gone, scattered,” you say. Ten years ago, at Christmas time, I was with twenty young college friends gathered about the fireplace, hilariously celebrating before they should go home for the holidays. Where are they now? One has been far bevond the Canal zone: another is making a home for himself on the Pacific coast; three are in New York; two are in lingland, and others are In varioug and remote parts of this country. One of these, wrote me this week: “Tiwe has not made me forget the Sunday evening we spent about your old fireplace when we were served with sponge cake and milk. 1 should like to be there just once more, but I should want to come back to my work the next day.” What a child he seems to me!

My experience is only the common experience of us atl. Time breaks our closest associations and scatters our companions of a few years ago. But it is the old friends and the friends who are far away of whom we are thinking most these days—those that have gone, and .those that are going. There ‘are a few of us whose thoughts and whose prayers are not with our old friends at Christmas time—those who zre near and those who are far away. Living or dead—— wherever they are—God bless them and keep them all!'—Thomas Arkle Glark, , (©. 1825, >Western Newspaper Union.)

eS| CHILDREN’S VOICES AT CHRISTMAS TIME T WAS the Christmas time. SnowI flakes like soft downy feathers were falling over the city, covering its dirt and soot with a beautiful blanket of white. Men and women were jostling one unother through the crowded eity streets. Some were laden with packages. Some carried but a few. A few were poorly clothed; yet with calm, satisfied faces. More were poorly clothed, with sad, restless faces, as if they grieved for what they could not have. Many wore rich clothing and luxurious furs, and some of these had calm restful faces; but many were weary as if they worried for a peace which was not theirs. ' A beggar sat in a corner selling his pencils, one by one. Many unheeding the pencils, dropped a coin into the box strapped about his weather-beaten neck. Some, not noticing the beggar, passed in and out of the great department store.

Many stories over the beggar's head Christmas carols had been pealing forth all the afternoon. The passersby could not have failed to hear them yet if their minds or hearts responded they gave no sign. Their expressions changed not. : Down through the hurrying crowds came a group of little girls on Christmas shopping bent, hastening to the store o’er which the Christmas chimes rang out. Heedless of the elbowing throng they stopped to listen and saw the beggar. “Let’s buy,” said the blithe little leader, and they stepped forward te ourchase his wares. - The dull-eyed creature looked at the fresh young faces and spoke: “Why don’t you sing, girlies?” “All right. Let's!” joyfully agreed the gay children. ' ; “The Lord is come!” the clear young voices took up the old refrain. Pedestrians, so long unmindful of the chimes, turned at the sound of the children’s voices. Some stopped and listened ; tense faces relaxed, softened; ‘many smiled as they went on their wyay. !

Other children joined the little band. They sang the old hymn through ; then scurried away. But those who had heard and seen remembered. Their nearts were lightened; their burdens lifted; their worries seemed passed away. o : ‘ It was the children’s voices. It was a beggar's whim.—Florence H. Wells.
