Licensed Embalmers ?Home Circle i UIRRT CHRISTMAS. Christmas brings the remem brance of a gift so great ami won derful that ail who realize what it meant to the world, feci the desire to give something in return though it ma; be nothing more thau the expression of a wish for a Merry Christmas. No one was anxious to receive the gift at first. People do not always know the value of what is given them. The only door opened to receiye it led into a oattle stable. Hut now, whose door does not fly open at Christmas to send out some blessing, some word of good oheer? The old carol, sung to a few shep herds, has gone around the world now and the message of peace and good will has been carried every where. Somehow, when you Iky a new born babe in a man's arras, you are pretty sure to bring a smile to his face and softening to his heart as well. An infant is a great peace bringer. What has touoheri and softened the heart of this grim world more than anything else, is that Christinas brought a bleised ohild down to earth and laid him confidingly in the arms of humanity, brought him from home, and left him outcast, that the opportunity might be given to every man to take, hvn in sod give bim the love and tendernesk which is every child's birthright. This it is whioh moves us to strive to mike children happy at Christ mas. They may be like those who float along With the river know ^g nothing of its love sontoe high on the hills. But even if they do not know Why, most of us want to make it a merry time for the chil dren. It >s emphatically the cbil- 1 dren's festival. No one ever re- 1 grata it who goes out of the way to j make seine little ones happy at j Christmas time. Th.-y are the spe- j elal friends o- the Christinas child, ; and iu well to be able to entertain | the king's friends if not ths king himself. . It doas Us world geod to ops* | its doors and take in ^hj . season's greetings. Business goes on all the happier beoause there is a warm, charitable feeling in a man's bouI toward his employer or employees or acquaintances. We are all so busy we are ap'. to forget to be con siderate, forgiving and kind. It is well to let the brain rest and allow the heart to rule sometimes, or inen may lose the faculty of loving and being ohantable. . ? Centuries of experience have proved that it is -well to make a clei ring house of the season, to square accounts by wiping off all the old grudges and fettling old quar rels and listening once sgain to the message of peace and good will. Anger and malaoe never give a man happiness; nothing but forgiveness pnd charity oau do that. OI.D AOB. Young people frequently look upon aged people with pity, and think of them as deprived of moBt things that make life agreeable. Yet, as a rule, old people cling to life as earnestly as any other*, and that, too, not merely as shrinking from that that lies beyond death, but for the mere pleasure of living They are cot off, to be sure, from some sources of pleasure whtch they j have had, but others are open toi them. The ambition is less keen and j the cares of life bring leas anxiety i than they once did. There is tevtn a certain satisfaction in receiving that respect for age which is paid j to them by younger people, in ao | oordance with an impulse that is as | universal as^it is noble. To youth, "hjpe makes the future bright ? brighter often than events will make it; to the old, memory makes the whole past, stripped of its gloomier picture and fillec^ with pleasant pictures a part of the un changing present. someciikirtmas thoughts.
