‘‘Christmas toys, Christmas
i .ys ! ” Wo feel tho delightful frs
tr.ul in tho very air. We see tho
- tiles cf the little ones and hour
ie merry laughter of the larger
boys and girls in happy anticipa
tion ol’tho many love tokens which
they naturally expect and will re
ceive from friends and sweethearts
—such lovely cxperienciS, eharm
g events that will bo indelibly
^scribed or. memory’s tablet dur
ing the coming days of ndoicing
id merriment—no language sweet
enough to bear tbe precious tid
i Mgs—no songs full enough to dc
- ribc tlio raptures of oiir glowing
hearts, we must simply give up in
•lispair in trying to toll one another
i >w joyous wo feel, and conclude
with one grand embrace tho world
around.
There should be some thought
i a Christinas treo for tho child
ren. Christmas-tide is so jolly for
tho little ones} there is more gen
uine pleasure in tboir little hearts
than any othor class, and vve older
• .lies should strive to get our hap
piness from making tho children
happy.
The churches of tho city should
rino together in this matter of u
Christmas trco. True, it is an old
-imorn, but whoro is there a man
or woman among you to suggest o
better method of distributing gifts;
and then, everyone is familiar with
the labors attached to t,he manage
ment of a Christmas tree. The
children, too, Grod bless them, ex
pect to see “Old Santa Claus ” at
tbe Christmas tree, and we just
simply canr.ot afford to disappoint
them. What ecstacies of Joy thrills
tho soul of every little child when
“Good Old Santo” comes in to
welcome them, and sends liis agents
1 h: oughout tho throng to give them
presents. We older ones w ho an
unable to recall the time of out
tender years cannot appreciate the
oxhilerating sentiments of the deal
children at this time, which the
poet aptly describes as “the glad
dest of the year. ”
How earnest and sincere then
should our efforts bo in behalf 01
those lovable little dears whos«
growth and increasing knowledge
will soon snatch t^em ipto u spheri
pf wisdom which will delpot from
their innocent love for “ Old San
tu ”—of course, they will love him
always, but tbe mystery will be
taken away—and when that is
gone tho excitement and fascina
tion of the keyhole and chimney
episodes will be lost. The stories
w ill lose their c^liarm, and that
keen delight and pleasure in haug
mg up the little stocking will (>•
no longer felt.
The preparation, for Christmas
this season are more extensive and
elaborate than at any previous
time for perhaps five or ten years,
and the indications are that w<
will experience a memorable pe
riod of praise and glad tidings
-Bet us all join bands in a feeling
ot love and good fellowship and
rejoice together and with one ac
ci>rd in the celebration of the birth
of our Blessed Redeemer.
