There is a Christmas spirit that prunes to earth and makes men hip and (fencrous. It drives out the spirit of selfishness and preed and prompts men to wilder ilecds. Jt prompts friendly nets and inspires helpful ness. It causes men mid women to forget their sor row; to eease their worrying and lift, in part, the hnr tleinj of their fellows. It is a spirit of pood will. . It wipes away tears und lightens the grief ; it helps the falle to rise again; it puts courage into the heart of struggling humanity; it hrings the impulse to I'orpive; it helps to hear heavy loads; it0 iiuikos dark places lighter and helps lo fill the world with happiness.
