There is really no place like' the firm home for Christmas good times "Wl jollity and good cheer. Here, frvwhe"re. prosperity and plenty abound, and- in family gatherings nd in neighborhood reunions, with n abundance of the fruits of oUr la bor with which to spread our bounti ful boards, old friendships may be renewed, new ones made,-and ' even the stranger within our gates may fee added to the list. At Christmas time we may put into practice the real principles of neighboring. Living close together goes not always make neighbors, taking acquaintances are not., al ways neighbors. To be real: neigh bors we must have the spirit of upidiborliness in our hearts which piormpts us to get together once in iivhile. to gather around a well laden table and feast, and visit, and buih and joke and hare a, rousing rood time. To love our neighbor as Wdo ourself.we have to know him prettv well, and there is nothing like jiiese neighborly' reunions as a peans of getting acquainted. It raav be that some of us will tave to do a little mental and spir itual housecleaning before Christmas day dawns. We shall have to rid ourselves of all the old rubbish of erudces, dislikes, jealousies and ill feelings which we will find pigeon holed away when we begin to .over haul the acumulation of the years. You will have to throw all this into the discard before you can get into the real Christmas spirit, because the two will not mix. If you have vronged your neighbor in any way, Christmas' is a good time to make reparation.

It should be a time of reviving old as sociations, of renewing old friend ships, and of making new friends, and the peace and good will, the neighborliness and good felowship thus reivived should not be allowed to die out as the yule fires cease to burn, but should flow out in a plente ous srream to enrich our lives through all the days, of 'the coming year. . .
