I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The Spirit of all three shall strive within me. 1 will not shut out the lessons they teach." Scrooge saw the phantom hood and dress shrink, collapse and dwindle into a bedpost. The bedpost was his own.. The bed his own. The room his own. Best and happiest of all, the time before him was his own to make amends in! Scrooge spent Christmas visiting his nephew and saw to it that various charities provided food for their dependents. When Bob Cratchit came to work the day after Christmas, his employer greeted him: 'Wary 'Christmas, Bob! A merrier Christmas than I have given you for many a yearl I'll raise your salary, and endeavour to assist your struggling family and we will discuss your affairs this afternoon." Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man as the city knew. He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but ever afterwards, it was always said he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that truly be said of us and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless us everyone!
