CHRISTMAS.
Christmas day, the annual festival
ot the Christian church in memory
of the birth of Christ, and gener
ally observed throughout Christen
dom by religious services, by public
and social festivals, by the' inter
change or gifts between relatives
:'.nd friends and by the distribution
of food and clothing among the
poor, is again near at hand. Its
coming is as eagerly and anxiously
looked forward to by those whose
hair has turned to silver as it is by
those who are just entering upon
life's joys and sorrows.
It is the one day in the year
when tlie learned and the unlearned
the rich and the poor, the saint and
the sinner, can meet upon a commot
level iu its observance; where the
! spirit of "'good will to men" expand
i the hearts of all in love. In charity
I and in toleration; the day of the
jyear when the Utopian dream of
| universal brotherhood comes near
| or of realization than upon any oth
i ?r of the 305 in the cycle of time.
While this feeling of charity and
sood will is universal on this day
of all duys, it is but natural that
isolated communities, such as are
sca'tered throughout the vast re
gion of the northland, should take
special pleasure in its coming and
strictly observe the customs hand
ed down from parents to children
for huudreds of years. We are so
dependent upon each other for sym
pa'.hv in our pain and bereavement
nd congenial companionship in the
hours of rejoicing and pleasure that
it is but a fitting consummation of
'his close association that the ties
that are thus engendered should
through the passing years become
so closely cemented that they are
indissoluble.
The people of the north are not
ed for their warm hearts and sympa
thetic n.itures; 110 appeal for help
or charity for worthy objects or
individuals is ever turned down ev
en iu the hurry and bustle of every
il.iy life and during Christmastide
these traits are more amply exem
plified than at any other time. At
that season the religious, fraternal
ai;d benevolent societies delegate to
certain of their members the work
of looking up and relieving the wan'
of the deserving, and oftentimes
ihe undeserving, so that they, too,
m.iy have cause for rejoicing and a
grateful remembrance of the day.
In Skagway this spirit of benev
olence and charity has been beauti
fully Illustrated for years by the
jiembers of Camp Skagway Xo. 1,
Arctic Brotherhood, and they intend
following their usual custom this
year so far as their depleted fi
nances will permit. It is feared,
however, that the money now on
hand to be devoted to this laud
able purpose will be insufficient to
provide gifts for the 250 or more
children whom it is their desfre to
reach, and we offer the suggestion
that It would be a good idea for
those who are not members of the
Arctic Brotherhood to join hands
with them and contribute any
amount they are able to afford, and
by so doing enable them at their
annual celebration on the night of
December 25th, to place on their
Christmas three a suitable present
iO delight the heart of each and ev
ery child In Skagway.
