As the Christmas season ap-
roaches it is certain that there
will be a tremendous increase
in letter wrltting, Post offices in
every country will be deluged

Some have a happy knack
writting letters; to them it
never a disagreeable job to

thoroughly enjoyable , privilige.
Lord Haldane, who was Chancel
lor of the Exchequer during the
first World War always an ex
tremely busy man, wrote a let-
ter to his Mother every day for
forty-seven years. Frequently it
was only a few lines written
when he was sleepy, still it was
a letter.
A man confessed that one of
the severest disappointments of
his life was after writing a

was conscience stricken
throughly ashamed of his
lect.
Letter writing is important
first because of the vast amount
of encouragement that a cheer
ful letter can convey. If people
write simply and naturally, just
as they talk, their friendly notes
even when short, can bring a
sense of fellowship, no matter
the distance.
When Dr. John Watson—bet
ter known by his pen-name Ian
MacLaren — died several years
ago, among other things in his
pocket was a letter written by a
member of his congregation who
thanked him for help and en
couragement received from the
services he conducted. It is some
thing to remember that Dr. Wat
son had carried that letter with
him for months, and probably,
read it many times.
The famous novelet and play
