Christmas, the finest of all family festivals! What
would the year be without this merry season? Tin*
night befoK* Christmas, how full of < ager . xpectation
on the p:|rt of the children! Then Christmas morning,
has there ever been an occasion oi so much j<«v, s0 full nt realized expectations. Then the time of homecoming
■nd of family reunion -were ever dear ones J.mg absent,
•o eagerly welcomed as on Christmas Day? How rosy
he children’s faces- ,Ilo\v those grandchildren have
crown since hist year! How manly tho<e I'oys are be
coming! Were there ever such girls since girls were
girls! And the greeting's from far and near! That
son away west or in the States! That married daughter
who sent her box <<f nice things, though she herself can
not. join the circle! And the deljeacies of Hie table!
Surely dainties never were cooked
did tiny tuMe so nice, and never did
every law of digestion!
The vacant chair? Surely, but it _ _____
m Paradise, and, no doubt, not as far away as some
times supposed. Then the quiet hour of Christmas ev-
* ning! The children are to bed and tile old folks sit
together thinking of other days and enjoying the sweet
memories of the festival passing into the quiet eterni
ties and pledging again their troth to Him who mek^s all
days full of good will to those who trust. Him and love
one another.
