Our homes exist for the children.
They afford us our best reason for the
incessant toll, which is less a curse to
the race than a blessing. Their in
Bistent claims on our care cannot tie
put aside. Their Joyful Irresponsibility
Is in contrast to our continual sense of
obligation. Like the birds aud the
flowers, they bring song and bloom Into
our lives, aud their dependence on us
is us simple, their faith ns sincere, us
ours ought to be on the great All Fa­
ther.
When Christmas comes their little
cups are full to the brim. Such small
things please them, too—the doll, the
train of cars, the toy elephant, the pic­
ture book. When we do not spoil them
by defrauding them of their share In
the giving as well as In the receiving,
how much pleasure they take in choos­
ing their presents; what wonderful
Ideas they have of the possibilities of
a dollar; how they select the biggest
and most beautiful things without a
thought of the cost! Money is nothing
to a child. He haa not yet entered
opon that eordld phase of being when
expense obtrudes Itself like a genie of
• r ll In the garden of roees. A child's
heart la aa targe as heaven. A child's
■ love la as wide as a child's life
At
Christmas we all dwell for a little
while under the beautiful scepter of
the Child in the M ld at-M arg aret E
8a ngster.

It Is not a mere figure of speech that
Christ, the anniversary of whose birth
we celebrate. Is to our moral and spirit­
ual what the sun is to our planetary
system. The dependence in both cases
is alike. I f the body has appetites
the soul has ambition, and both must
be satisfied or human equilibrium Is
lost We must possess the two. linked
together in some mysterious way, or
we shall fly to social and moral chaos.
Good government, good morals and ev­
ery orderly, well directed progression
rests on that concession.
To be Infidel to It Is to destroy the
Ideal, to shrivel the heart of the race,
to make might right, to enthrone selfish­
ness and greed and to displace and do
violence to the public conscience.
The Man of Nazareth and what he
represents are the embodiment of the
law of moral gravitation which holds
the world in Its orbit. He gave us the
ideas on which orderly communities
base their legislation. He furnished us
with the spiritual Ideal, crented new
motives, made quiet, humble endurance
a cardinal virtue and placed on the
brow of liereavement the radiant coro
net of hope
Others have «ought the same end.
the same crowning achievement. Confu
clus. Zoroaster. Mohammed and Bud
dim were of the royal family of souls,
but at most they were mere primes
in the iiresence of the King. They gave
much, he gave all.
