Member of the United Pre ahed deity by ing Oo. Love in Remembrance the True Spirit of Christmas Very probably the first thing you remembered, when you got up this morning, was that you had forgotten to send a present to some friend or acquaintance, That person had sent you something last Christmas, to your surprise, perhaps, and you felt will likely either feel a bit ashamed over your forgetfulness, or rake up something to forward tomorrow, trusting that, if the party doesn’t get the present until after Christmas day, he or she will attribute it to delay in the mail or express de livery rather than to your neg Now, don’t worry about the matter at all, The Christmas igence. season has many absurdities; much of hyprocrisy and empty courtesy. If you forgot that friend, you may be sure your love for him or her wasn't deep enough to make it really worth while sending anything, and your sending now would simply be payment of a debt, a sort of business transaction as far from the true spirit of Christmas giving as paying your coal bill rave to you To give to a person merely because that person is foolish, for it defeats the object of giving and destroys all its delights. It was wise men who came out of the East with npt I the first Christmas presents and worshipful love alone p ed them The true spirit of Christmas giving is love, love of one’s fellows. If a person has done his or her part toward helping the really poor and his or her own close relations to a happy Christmas through genuine love, all has been done that good sense demands or the Lord probably expects. Other giving is pretty much based on selfishness and vanity, and makes for no substantial good in the world Women, by long odds, are the best givers, oftenest imbued with the true Christmas spirit. A man fixes the number of wre at the last minute, presents in his mind, rushes into a 5 and simply buys, rarely selecting things that are appropriate or mean anything more than a mere gift. Rare is the woman who does not, weeks perhaps before Christmas, get out needles and threads and cloths and yarns and—-whatever else Christ mas things are made of—and create some fabric into which she puts love and remembrance all her spare moments. There is more in a pair of wool socks knit by grandmother, or mittens or a yarn hat created by mother or sister, than in any jewel case that bijoutry ever knew. The loving labor is there. The recipient of such a present isn’t forgotten until Christmas morning. No. Don't worry much about the presents you have for gotten to send. They would not have amounted to much, what ever their value in yim MR. SKYGACK, FROM ‘MARS, He Visits the Earth as a Special Correspondent and Makes Wireless Observations in His Notebook.
