What a bother Christmas i`s! One has to worry about things for weeks
before, getting up early, perhaps; •alid going to bed late; thinking-, 'plan-
ning, and in the end probably spending more money' than we can really
well afford. Is it worth the trouble; think you?
011, ,yes; It is worth ten times. the trouble. Did it ever deem to you
that when we ate doing, all this planning and thinking before: the Great.
Festival we are actually spending all that time and thought, not upon our-
selves, - (whish unworthy objects oceupy-altogether too moth`! thought
tbreughout the year),, but upon others? That in itself would, make it worth
while. For to get otit of; ourselves, get away from the notion that we' are
the only people worth considering, tends to develop qualities. 'which need
diyvelepniont and makes for fineness -at -id sweetness of character.
Then, miracle of miracles! when•, we actually forget ourselves in think-
ing of others, we find that we are really enjoying ourselves much better
testa we usually do when all our attention is centred upon ourselves, There
'is nothing taper thee. that "Ile that saveth his life shall ]use it, and lie': that
loseth ,his Iife shall find it." -
' Those who approach -Christmas with the idea of giving only where
they hope to receive and only, giving to the extent to which they expect a
. return get little ;out of Chrismas., To then the game le not wortli,,th°e
caudle: They' should go and buy what they want themselves, letting;:oth-
• ors dd the"same;' Tiut•i'f yen 'wish tb'eater 'into the joy of Chiisttti.as forget
yourself and give your mind to the task of trying to bring into some other '
life; whether; it be by some nieterial gift or the spiritual gift of good; fe1-
lowsitip, understanding, plain, clay -fashioned goodwill,- some of the tate
Cam/states Spirit. The true Christmas Spirit is unselfishness; thought fp/-
others. It is, indeed, the Spirit of Ilion whose advent we celebrate at this
time, the Spirit of the Christ.
It is well to'give ou1•selves up to the Spirit of Christmas, if only for
- a few weeks, a few days; or even for one day, in the year. It is that much
10 the good. But what we need to do le to let this kindliness and`goodadlk
slop over into the New Year, and run right along with as all the mento
through, . And there are hopeful,,signs that the world ; is coming to it, that
the "Peace, and Goodwill, ,proclamreci b3' the Angels' song is beginning
be fulfilled. The success of the'Loearno conferenee is pointed to as show- j
ing this! May it grow and prosper until the whole round world is ,Bathed
in its benign atmosphere. Anel then we should remember that we can each.
assist, in our small way, in bringing about this happy condition :of "Peace
on earth, and good will to all men of good will." 1
