Itlslmnlly uoossry for tho CouniEit to contradict tho statement. It is a custom that cannot le carritxl to clthor a wasteful or ridiculous ox tout. Tho interchaiijo ot gifts during tho holiday season Is a moit tunutiful ami ap propriate custom. It Is n custom that ct tuenU the bouiU of lovi) and friendship, that glvosononn opportunity to do good without the ojtdiitatlou of alms giving, that brlngr tho member ut tho human race more akin to .ono another. True, tliero is some bulflshues-s displayed In the uxvhungoot gifts, in my give with the expectation ot receiving lcuillts, . .60110 two told, some four fold ami romo ton fold; but that Is not to ba accepted us a con .damnation ot the custom. Remember tho ncious Master has said that is mori luohMnl to givo than to receive. Try it mid lie con vinced that in this, as In all teaching from thatf lunUiu-hoad, truth U mighty uud will prevail.
