She had heard of the poor Child of the Manger She had heard that it was the time when men’s hearts opened and good will reigned toward all In the cold of early Christmas day she arose and, shivering but hopeful, crept to where she had hung her stocking. It wa empty. She had come back to her scantily covered bed 4 thrown herself down to weep, alone. There can be no greater misery than the despair of a little child who is alone in the world without love. Maybe the peals of the Christmas bells come in at the window of this poor room Maybe this child can hear the snappy shouts of other children whose stockings were filled. But, she is alone, forgotten, her faith in the best and sweetest beauties of childhood gone, per haps her whole future written in the piteous iness of that little stocking. Do you know of any little stocking that bids fair to be empty, Christmas morning? For just a minute, stop your day's work, stop worrying about what you'll get your own or your friends, stop gloating over the present you are to give somebody, stop speculating on what you are going to receive—stop, and think up some little Stocking that will quite likely be empty! Stop, and resolve that there shall be something in that stocking. Oh! it doesn’t matter much what you put in. A wad of candy will not represent glucose only. A china doll will not stand for a plaything alone. You will put in a good deed that will better you. You will teach a young soul that not all is gloom, friendlessness neglect, but that there is abroad in the world a spirit of love and good wiil—old Santa Claus. Give not the thing but of the spirit. Much of the giving is debilitating, wasteful, harmful. A 5-cent rag doll in the heel of the stocking of that child in the picture would have meant some do¥e, some joy, some hope and a different world to her, the children, what of them when they are older?
