The Spirit of Christmas.
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. '/•
