With the passing of Thanksgiving there is a certain very definite “ feel” of holiday» in the air. To definitely define that spirit is difficult, for it is an intangible, uncertain, innhte emotion which encompasses ng $ It is far more than the spirit of giving—the exchange of material things. Spiritual values, a glorified realisation that “ The ¿ f t without the giver ia bare” and the fuller realization of Peace On Earth, should be the criterion by which we should judge a worth-while Christmas spirit Especially should this be true of a Christmas spirit in our Community. We should remember in our “ gift list” that there ia the gift we owe our community—a gift of good citizenship. Good citizenship includes many things, an ac tive interest in affairs <of government, materialized by aiding the board of education and teachers ip maintaining the highest standards, by actively supporting churches,, taking pride in' appearance of homes, yards, streets, and parka—in short it in cludes the building up of the community in every way possible through cooperation. . And it would be well if the Christmas Spirit might prevail throughout the year—then each suc ceeding day migfet be fedped, hf^pie^dhan that of the day previous. * Do Unto Others Homan nature has ite weakness, but it also has its strength. There is mooh iu man’s daily record that makes unhappy reading, but always somewhere in the report there is a page or a line that thrills the heart, that is evidence of a vain of latent goodness beneath the outward appearance of badness, that makes us- suspect that after all the badness is more of an outward appearance than an ingrained reality. Se it is a pleasure to note that a very large number of men and women have either broken away from the brazen rule that reads, “ do others,” or have never recognized its forces, and are exem plifying the Golden Buie, "do unto others,” and are doing it generously. • The sf>ecific thing we have iu mind is-that phase of the Near East Belief now firmly establish ed and known as International Golden Buie Sunday. There are many other examples showing a healthy growth of the Golden Buie spirit, but this is perhaps the greatest single example; and it is timely because G o UU b Buie Sunday will be observed December 4, on behalf of the Near East Belief, and millions of persons will do unto other children as they Would like others to do unto their children if they had fallen upon equally evil circumstances. Such a «display of the true sentiment, not senti mentality, is highly gratifying for many reasons. It is one of the things proving our age not so gross ly material as the pessimists would have us believe it ia. It is commendable because in a larger sense than is found in most charitable enterprises the gift to Near East Belief is something more and finer than the mere giving of money; it is entering into the real spirit of the occasion and giving something of self in addition to the offering of money. There is no person who observes the day as it is meant to be done who will not be better in body and soul because of the observances. '/• ” " .
