Nfttfte metropolis Christmas treads upon the heels of .Thanksgiv
iflg^'eager to exploit its warea
I'v-' The windows of the great stores, that have been fringed with
\ Autumn leaves, now present the entire gamut of holiday goods.
Images of Santa Claus appear in has reliefs, backed with reindeer and
sledges, capacious chimneys and spug fire-places. Toys and sweetmeats
run riot upon the counters, and the Christmas shopper appears mincingly in
the long aisles of the great department stores, 'lhcre are yet many days for
making Christmas choices and.thcjshopper has rt^out her none of that mad,
scrambling air so noticeable during the last few days of the runaway season.
In the streets Santa yvorks at every corpef, asking alms for the needy
and the sick, that their Christmas! too, may be brightened and of good
cheer. With the giving, .the'faces of the crowd take on a happier smile;
the heart is answering to the message ofd'good will on earth.” Inch by
inch we are drawn into the merry-making, the bustle and the spirit of the
time. In ouf minds^wp^aie turning over and ove^ die problem of what
for this deat one apd what for, that —and in'our list we include those who
'are less apt-to be joyoustips day tfian wc ary —and now comes the
real joy of Christmas: the doing W good'that* makes our hearts sing with
happiness! j V
There is the little girl we myt aw;ay up in flie pine woods last summer
who will be delighted with a pretty bdofe. thelame boy who sells papers
at the corner of Hit and Miss streets, the widpw who takes in washing
out in the suburb where we UvC, the jolly ,boy ( friend of a business associ
ate who has so many things one cannot; just ^decide on his present, the
elevator man •’ho has mfct us morning .and night with r cheery , good
morning and a respectful good night—and then there are the closer ones:
the mother, father, /Wife and babies! /
What a galaxy of needy folk—for all are', needy on . ChrisUnas day!
Those who do not need food, or clothing, or money, need something that
will prove our love, 'prove that we have not forgotten them and that on
this, the day commemorating the coming of the King of Bethlehem, our
heart is attuned to theirs in gladness and rejoicing. I
And now die holly and the mistletoe appear upop the street'corners
and rushing business men stop on their hurried wa^ 1 omeward to buy
wreaths of the green and the red to hang in the windows of their homes
and from the chandeliers of their >living rooms.
On and on surges the spirif of Christmas! J
Like a mighty enveloping shaft of sunshine it breaks’through" the
clouds of cvcry-day mediocrity and racing across the world sends its glow
ing glory into every home! Garlands hang everywhere, bells chime and
merry laughter echoes through the halls of time. And with the ringing
of the crystal spheres, peace spreads her mantle like a cloak and plenty
sits enthroned among the merrymaking and the praise!
“Peace on earth, good-will to men.”

Delightml occupation! How, In the days now gone, all men have strung
their hearts upon the threads and parsed them awkwardly to rosy-cheeked
maids with hair braided down their backs, with ruby lips and eyes that
sparkled with the first love glances 1
And the Christmas parties, the slcighrides, the renewing of friendships
with those who have been away at school and have returned for . the season
of gaycty and good cheer!
And the stockings that are hung on Christmas eve in the country! In
every home they cap their harvest year by year on Christmas morning.
Reap their harvest as the "Merry Christmas!” salutation rings throughout
the house.
And it is mother, usually, that steals in upon the sleeping oncsTand
•wishes them a glad and happy Christmas!
And always on Christmas morning she will do this! Though she be in
the land of bliss beyond, or in the flesh of the present, she will speak to 'us
of the Christmas morning, sjieak to us from her loving heart and wish us
happiness. Nor time, nor death, nor changes, nor wars, nor misfortunes
ever can take from a man this Christmas wish of mother’s:
“A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!’*
From the endless aeons of the turquoise sky she speaks to me Jon
Christmas morning—and she speaks to you, too —but, mayhap, nearer by,
for Christmas in the country is indissolubly associated with her.‘;$ And for
that reason, Christmas in the country is doubly dear to me —and doubly
sacred.
"With trembling fingers did we weave
The holly round the Christmas heanh;
A rainy cloud possess d the earth,'
And sadly fell our Christmas-eve,"
