Hark: the merry chimes are warning
us that this is Christhias morn
ing.
And it's time that we were rising,
though the hour isn't late.
Still, the kidiets will be flocking, each
to overhaul his stocking,
And there's scads of things we've
got to do that really cannot wait.
let. before we kick the clothes off (quite determined not to doze off),
Let's indulge in dreamy musing on this joyous Christinastide;
Let us while the bells are pealing, get up some real Christmas feeling,
Pill ourselves with sweet emotions that are not quite cut and dried.
True, the minutes fast are gliding, but, consarn ’em, let ’em glide.
Think of these long weeks of waiting, all the glad anticipating
Of the gay and festive season that at last, at last is here;
Never resting, never stopping in our mad career of shopping,
Searching over the ideal, not too cheap and not too dear;
Crushed and elbowed in the reeking crowds, that like ourselves are seeking
Just the very thing of all things that their loved ones most desired.
Limp and draggled then emerging from the pushing, struggling, surging
Mob. with parcels overladen, reaching home at last, dog tired.
Those experiences may be best described as "most all-fired.”
r.
iet no antiquated stoic showed endur
ance more heroic
Than we’ve manifested through the
wear}' ordeal of that time;
We have stood the stress of barter with
the courage of a martyr;
Now' we find sweet compensation
A V
list ning to the Christmas chime, i v r n , i
" h°se clear cadence, soft and mellow, seems to whisper to a fellow
Taat the worst is nearly over, that we soon may breathe again,
Soon may find surcease of sorrow, and that, maybe by tomorrow
Or the next day, may be lifted something of this mental strain,
That a blessed sense of rest may soothe the tissues of our brain.
We have done with haste and flurry, no occasion now to worry,
I.cst some sensitive relation may have been quite overlooked.
.-.11 tlie lists of names are checked and all the walls with green are decked, and
Now within a few short hours the Christmas dinner will be cooked.
Hail to ( hristmas! happy season! There is some substantial reason
To be gleeful at thy advent—the beginning of the end.
As thou comest wreathed with holly, we can certainly be jolly,
Welcome thee with feast and wassail, and in general unbend,
I'or we know that we have spent for thee the last cent we can spend!
Now the door bell will cease ringing to
the people who were bringing
An endless string of packages from
morn to dewy eve;
We no longer will be running to con
ceal those things with cunning.
And w«'ll lose our wonted air of
having something up our sleeve.
i here will be a deuced Utter, when
the gewgaws gleam and glitter,
S Of waste paper, string and cotton, from the kitchen to the hall;
I But, with consciences elastic, we will grow enthusiastic
' I wonder how they guessed," as on the donors' necks we fall
;; Looking blissful over dewdads that we didn't want at all.
| Ah, this blessed thing of giving! It is half the joy of living
To watch the looks of gratitude and pleasure and surprise
; j That, at least to outward seeming, are upon loved faces beaming—
As the loved one opens his parcel and digs out his gaudy ties. x
And the gentle wife and mother her emotion tries to smother
* ^ hen conducted by her husband, to some secret corner, where
i As a proof of fond affection, he has hid from her detection,
* His gift to her, a cozy, costly, well-upholstered chair
11 (Of whose comforts, in the future, you may bet he'll get his share).
Now this Christmas spirit moves us to
sense that it behoves us
To keep Poverty's bare platter and
fill Destitution’s cup,
Bring turk and pie and gladness to
the homes of empty sadness!
To help out sweet Christmas char
i ity who would not loosen up?
jhu it s nigniy aggravating not to saj* exasperating,
"lien we’ve given most nobly and without thought of stint.
To find out. as we expected, that the modest are neglected
And our princely benefaction hasn’t found its way to print.
(Certainly we didn’t ask it, but a man might take a hint).
Hut away with sad reflection! This is no time for dejection.
Merry Christmas, happy Christmas, as we said, has come at fast'
All the many tribulations, all the trials and vexations
That have crowded thick upon us for the last six woekn are past
Not a protest shall be uttered, though the house with toys is cluttered
And the kids are all parading to the sound of horn and drum
Lusty lung and larynx voicing the extent of their rejoicing.
We will have to stand the racket now that Christmas day is come.
(Later tone our nervous system at sumo sanitarium).
Thank the Given if we're able to sit
‘round a well-spread table,
\\ here the plump white-bosomed
turkey sheds its savor through
the room,
And pudding comes on smoking, and
there s no end to the joking,
And no heart that harbors malice
and no mind o'ercast with gloom.
K-uiuunuiy graieiui mat we nave at least a plateful,
Grateful for the pepsin tablets that correct our Christmas cheer*
Hold it as among our mercies if there's coin left in our purses. ’
Be thankful for those dear to us and those w ho hold us dear.
(And most supremely thankful Christmas conies but once a year).

CHRISTMAS IS A PROPHECY
It Forecasts the Perfect Social Con
ditions Which Will Fulfill the
Promises of Christ.
Christmas la not only a fact com
memorating the one sacred festival
in the world's calendar, but the glor
ious prophecy of a coming day, sur
passing all the brightest social dreams
that have ever visited the most ad
vanced human mind. He sprang, on
Hts human nature side, from kings
and peasants, from saints and sinners. 1
He is yet to lift every peasant to the
kingliest throne of character and trans
form the chief of sinners into the
holiest of saints. He allied Himself
with poverty and the common people.
He is yet to banish poverty with all
its ills, from the world, and to give
to common humanity their rightful
sovereignty. He worked with Ills
hands for His daily bread. He is yet
to dignify and glorify in the thought
of mankind all honest toil. He hon
ored woman with His sympathetic and j
appreciative regard. He is yet to re- |
Ileve her from every form of serfdom
created by the past ages. He took j
little children in His arms and blessed j
them. He is yet to make blessed the j
child life in every welcoming home, j
■ gave His peace to His distracted
disciples. He is yet to make wars
unto the. end of the earth. He
; ted His brethren with Himself and
Hit Father in one unbroken oneness.
H is yet to make every man a broth
er > K fr low-man and at one with J
his Father in Heaven.
