May ' your stockings all be filled to the very Ji brim, may your years be multiplied bhab you may live to enjoy many such occasions, each season may you be better able to make others happier. The ethics of Christmas is the doing of something that represents our own ' unselfish na tures, and is not respresented by the price, but by the benefits to the recipient of the gift. It is not the one who receives the gift alone who will be benefitted, but the satisfaction of having tried to help bring to the donor also a full measure of Christmas joy. At this timu the heart in clines to goodness; see that you do not hinder it. It softens, with its pleasant surroundings: see that you harden it not. It longs for all that is good, and lovely, and holy. Beware that you do not deceive end lead it astray. The joy is to all the people, let all rejoice, therefore. Not without reason did the ; angel Jsong which rang through the hollows of the deep blue ! night over the hills of Bethlehem j contain that note of Gloria in Excelsis Deo - - - which really ! i Involved the recognition of the greatest manifestation yet re vealed to created intelligence. Among that celestial choir there . .l. were some wno were among me morning stars that shouted for Swr uhpn tKp rnrnffr Rt.rlf of ijt - the earth were laid. 2 LETTERS TO SANTA FROM LITTLE TOTS Courier Continues Wire Route to St. Nick for Convenience of Little Readers Eaoh vear at Christmas timo the Courier receives numerous letters from little ones who desire to advise Santa Clans in regard to what tlicy would like for Xmas presents, aud we are verv clad to sive these letters as mack publicity as possible so that dear old Santa may be sure to see them and act accordingly.
