Rich and poor, great and lowly, good and bad, today stand more nearly on a footing of equality than they have stood since tlie last Yuletide. or than they will stand for another year. For this Is the Christmas season and Christmas belongs to the child, and untutored childhood knows no that caste. It Is only from grown-upthe little ones learn false standards of social place. In every human heart that Is not calloused to all Joy or sorrow, or dead to the finest emotions of manhood and womanhood, there is enshrined some child, either dead or living for child love is the universal emotion of the soul. For this brief season, then, let child hood take our gnarled hand of sophistry and beguile us "by the finger back to a fleeting glimpse of that lotus land M equality we once knew and can know only once.

Then conies Christmas morning with nnd Its beautifully Its surprises trimmed tree. The height of the day's Hen happiness Is reached wheu Uncle and Aunt Molly arrive with their children, rosv cheeked and rosy nosed, too, from the effects of King Winter's nl. After all pa's and ma's folks are furniture and there, the house is Just one lump of good cheer. The day slips by and evening comes. The 'part that Is al ways the most pleasing to me is when we gather about the fire and Sallle, seated at the piano, plays the Christ mas hymns nnd all the children sing them, grandfather Joining In the chorus In his cracked old voice. Thus It was. But last year It was different for me. Ma got the wreaths as usual; the same good odors came from the kitchen ; the crinkling of Sal-li- e and Mae's packages could be heard, same as ever; we were taken over town to see but here's where the sad part comes In. How heavy my heart was as I trudged on our way to see old Nick with Peg next to me, her little hand holding tight on mine. And when I thought of her joy when she should see Santa, I felt so old, so ex perienced. All Christmas day I went around In dream from the first thing- - in the morning until I was tncked in bed that night. All day there was envy in my heart toward all the children from lit d tle lisping Jack to Peg, because my day had lost Its joy for me, on account of the fact oh, killer of joy I no longer believed in Santa Claus.

This Is au Inscription engraved upon oue of the bells in a tower In Antwerp, In 1058, but, long before this jiutevvolcaiif bells had told to humanity their tales of gladness or sadness, of threatened danger or safety achieved, and always the worM understood and responded to mood or emergency as the case might have been. For centuries church bells have told old story of the Christ the ever-neChild. For weeksbefore the sucred day arrives a wild rush of preparations leaves little time for reflection.

When the bells of Christmas morn peal their tidings of "Peace and Good ytKIIERE Bel-glu- far-awa- Will" It will be to a world waiting to receive the message; a world that has been hurried and excited and interested, but which has all unconsciously been acquiring a spirit en rapport with the burden of their chiming. All the stress of living and striving, all the hurts and the sorrows are softened by the benediction of the bells. Deeper reverence for life and a fuller appreciation of the love that surrounds us Is roused by their Yule- tide music. They call to all that Is best and loveliest and we answer by an outpouring of Christmas spirit, a keener sense of human brotherhood and a closer knitting of family ties. While they have "neither speech nor language," they tell a marvelous story, a story that we understand, and wa live better for that understanding. Detroit News. ' Substitution.

KM FTER a year of strife and the world is about to declare an armistice for the observance of Christmas. It Is curious how the essence of Christianity gets Itself recognized and practiced In spite of the world, the flesh and the devil. In this time of good will everybody becomes Christian, for Christmas is simply the substitution of the spirit of giving for the spirit of getting.
