.If you knew you were to say good-bye forever tomor
row to the world and all within it, would you live as you
have lived, or would the Christmas spirit animate your
closing hours V
Would not this old world of ourssuddenly become most
beautiful? "Would not unseen joys and sorrows lurk with
in the sunshine and the shadows'? What pleasure would
dwell in the voices of friends; as you heard them tor the
last time, and what music in the chatter of children?
"Would the petty ambitions and animosities you have
spent your life in gratifying seem worth while? Would
they not all be cast aside as of no moment, in these your
closing hours? '
How small, how miserably, pitiably small, would seem
the ideals your have wasted your efforts to attain, in those
sunset hours of life how wasted in unworthy w6rship of
false gods, how worse than foolish vour efforts to' build
yourself by tearing others down in those final' fleeting

If today were your last day, and theuc is no reason tt

do not need new laws you do not need socialism or any
