stopped .at a .railwaycentre where
two wdrnen, got on. , They..
seated themselves immediately in.
front of me., and talked so freely.
I couldn't help hearingtheir.'con
versation. .
They were the wives of railway
men, travelling on a pass to do
.some Christmas shopping in the ,
big.city. As they rode along they
discussedtheir financial problems
wit'h'each other. Both.'husbands

-heard that remark.; and=
looked at that noble young moth-
er,. I thought I •was.seeing Christ
On that train. I was hearing His .
voice in :hers. I was witnessi'ng
the re -incarnation of the Spirit `
of. One who was ever giving of -
Himself for others.,. yet never
'looking for. anything for Himself.
I.was'seeing'the Word again being
made flesh in this noble woman.
I was seeing -exemplified in her
the spirit that really saves the
world. Lwas..wit.nessing the spirit
of the Suffering Servant who'wil
,ingly and gladly, gets,.'undern.eath
!the burdens of others, .and suffers
?with them. I was hearing the
?Christ saying: " Inasmuch as. ye
}did it unto one of the least of
these my 'bethren ye have done
`it unto Me" .
we'd like to •
help brighten your holidays
with our sincere thanks'

wishes for every happiness.
