What pleasant memories It recoils to some of us, snd what good tlmos It will mean for many of us thin year. There Is really no place like the farm home for Christmas good times und Jollity nnd good cheer. Here, If any where, prosperity nnd plenty abound, and In fumlly gatherings and In neigh borhood reunions, with an abundunce of the fruits of our labor with which to spread our bountiful board, old friendships mny be renewed, new ones made, and even the stronger within our gales may be added to the list. At Chrlttmaa time we may put Into practice the real prlnclplet of neigh boring. Living clot together doe not always make neighbors, Speaking ac- ctiulntimcet are not. niwayt neighbors. To be real neighbors we mutt have the spirit of nelghborllness In our hearts which prompts us to get to gether once In awhile, to gather around a well-laden table nnd fvnst, nnd visit, and laugh and Joke and have s rousing good time. To love our neighbor as we do ourtelf, we have to .know him pretty well, and there Is nothing like these, neighborly reunions at n means of getting acquainted. It may he that tome of tit will have to do n little mental and aplrlfuat housecleonlng before Christmas day dawns, We nhnll hove to rid ourselvoi of nil the old rubbish of grudges, dis likes, Jealousies and 111 feelings which we will find pigeon-holed away when we begin to overhaul the accumula tion of the years. You will have to throw all thl Into the discard bofore you can get Into the real Chrlttma'a spirit, because the two will not mix. If you hnve wronged your neighbor In any way, Christmas I a good time to innlie repartition. And If you feel that you hnve been wronged, why, Jutt for get It, unit the Christina spirit and the Christmas "get-together" will do Die reil Chrlstmnt should bo a time of pence nnd good will to all mankind, and not to a few fnvored friends. It should he a time of reviving old as- anelntlntis, of renewing old friend ships, nnd of mnklnir new friends, and tho pence mid good wUI, the neigh' horllness nnd good fellowship thus re vived should not bo allowed to din out as the yule fires cento lo burn, but should flow out In a plenteous stream to enrich our llvet through all the doys of Hip coming year A Christmas Sormon i TIT'0 nu h(mc,, t0 h kind 5 t)L to enrn a little and spend W ...... .
