"Do you contemplate getting nine hours of -uninterrupted sleep every night while your are President? me reporter asked. The question seemed to give the President-elect a shock. An involuntary Shudder appeared to run through his gaunt frame. "I I don't get as much sleep in the White House as I need." he replied. "I'll know tho reason why and put a stop to it." GIVING A!$D RECEIVING. What right have we to deprive our children of a real Christmas? What right have we to teach them selfishness, greed, the desire "to get," and carefully keep in the background and discourage all impulse or wish they may have 'Torsive?" 'I havSheard parents say to their little children?"You keep your pennies and. buy something for yourself, I'll buy | something for you to give to father* j or grandma, or cousin." I-ater in life these same parents will probably rompiaitt?"John is so selftrt,? He never gives, anything. He spends allJ his money on himself." And perbaps for the remalnder of life John hlmself has been deprived of a rtalisation of the blessedness of giving. What right have we to reserve to ourselves the great blessing of giving, instead of sharing it with our little children? We can teach our children to be as we are?Santa Claua' helpers. Tell them the old delightful story of Santa Claus as a fairy story. They enjoy it every bit >ea much and we parents will have nothing to regret later. As you value truth 1q your child's later life, So not neglect this. Aa you vaine his entire confidence,, in your word, he : may later make him doubt it. TO FHBACH AT COUNTY HOME. Rev. R. H.
