CONTRIBUTING a poen to the To-
ronto Star, Howard S.'Ernst, former
Clifford boy who for several years
past has been a patient at Weston
Sanatorium, sends this touching true
story of an incident in the Canadian
West during his father's (Rev. N. B.
Ernst) pastorate there: "In that
neighborhood, it was the custom to
bring all gifts for the family and
friends to the Christmas tree in the
church. It happened that while some
were well-to-do, most of the families
were quite poor. There was a large
heap of presents around the tree that
night, and how the faces of the child-
ren glowed with anticipation as the
distribution began! The heap grew
smaller and smaller as child after
child was given his presents. And
reflected on one mother's face was an
.anguish pitiful to see. In her home
there could be no dolls, no toys dear
to a child's heart. There had been no
money for them; there was little en-
ough for food. Finally, the gifts had
all been presented. In a momentary
lull, a child's voice rang out, burst-
ing with disappointment, laden with
appeal: `Mummy, wasn't I good?' "
THAT IS THE true story Mr. Ernst
tells. And this is the poem he bases
upon the story:
Because a child's' heart once was
cruelly broken,
Because a festive time brought only
grief,
Because a promise that was fondly
spoken
Had failed and left a hurt beyond
belief.
Because such yearning turned to dis-
appointment,
And a bewiideredi mind misunder-
stood;
Because, when Santa missed that
year's appointment,
A plea rang out: "Mummy, wasn't
I good?"
I shall do all that lies within niy
keeping
That some child' Christmas may be
very glad,
And may the happiness he takes to
sleeping,
Atone for what another never had.
