A. spirit of generosity pervades the Yuletide atmosphere. It is known and practiced at no other seasun of the year as at Christmas. It Is felt in every city, In every town, in every village, in the entire country. People are prone to be more thought- ful. Men manifest desires to spread good 'cheer; women weave little acts of love, kindness and devotion into Christmas good will; children cherish their companions and fortunes. Per- sons unconsciously instill into each other a desire to distribute happiness everywhere. It all comes on the wings of that indefinable thing under- stood by few, but referred to by many ns the Christmas spirit, It Is Invisible, but can be seen; it Is not material, but can be. felt. It comes every Christ- mas, but too often leaves to return perhaps nest year, when the real half- day`spil'It'agatn is felt. Why does this fellowship of love and good will depart from the souls of so many persons on the wings of tame? Why does notthe same spirit remain in the atmosphere after 'nen again as- sume their routine of work and wo- men become normal after their Chrfst- mus cares and worries? Would it not he a good thing 11 this same Christmas spirit could continue throughout the twelve mouths or the year? lvuuld it not be a goon thing for mankind if all stopped to thilclt of others as they do during the Yuletide season, if all 'endenvorcl to tilt the lives 01' their friends. aefthainta Imes and the less fortunate with gold cheer end happiness 1hron;hotlt wittier and snan- t mei•, spring. arid.I titItllil'7 'fl'y'I him for ne01 5elu• Rlnlce it rine I • • of your..resulottolls, ami il'-one resolves 1'0 do n11 In his lamer to ''mice ethers l ll ,pb :' throughout Ile, entire 1 wi!Ire t � 101111hs no oilier resalitttuus will be hr' I, nele•o.s:u y to lissur ono of III Ilm'st.
