QThere is a Christmas Christ-mas spirit that comes to earth and makes men big and generous, it drives out the spirit of selfishness and greed and prompts men to nobler deeds. It prompts friendly acts and inspires helpfulness. It causes men and women to forget their sorrow: to cease their worrying and lift, in Dart, the burdens of their fellows. It is a spirit of gooa win. It wipes away tears and lightens grief; it helps the fallen to rise again; it puts courage into the heart of struggling humanity? it wings the impulse to forgive; it helps to Bear heavy loads; it makes aark places lighter ana helps to fill the world with happiness. That is the spirit that makes us send gifts to one another; that spirit is Santa Claus. William L. Gaston |
