One other kingdom He rstabllsbed on this earth to make
glad the hearts of all at this blessed season Tbe Chil-Hwi'f
Kingdom of Christmas.
At midnight tbe portals which shut this magic kingdom
off from the workaday world awing silenty open. At dawn
the little people of the realm begin to troop Into it. Little pat

through the open gates of tbe Kingdom of Christmas and taice
possession for the day. ,

army. Chariots, carts, donkeys and automobiles speed across
the carpeted plains, and the reign of the children revela Itself
out to a sleepy end at nightfall, with dolls and swords clasped
in handa which cling on after tbe eyes have fallen shut in sleep.
It is a great day, a day of sweet foolishness, a time for
the baring of hearts too long screened from the eyes that long
to look into them and see love enthroned.
Make the most of It, the best of it and all you can of It.
It comes but once a year. Most people find themselves unable
to buy the presents they would like to buy for Christmas.
Some find tbe season a time of unhapplness for that very
reason. Try not to feel thus. It la not the presents bought
or received that makes the day of good. It is tbe love spent
and not the money t,hat counts.
The DAY should break down every barrier between hearts
estranged and be tbe starting point for better relations and
new affections end above all it should be the day of the
Children's Kingdom.
And whenever Christmaa Is made the children's festival
based on LOVE His gentle spjrit will be in tbe midst of !t
