One of the most satisfactory days in all the -year is C&rlstiniis;hen ev everybody else, and especially the poor or unfortunate, and to, bring smiles and happiness in- to every heart and home. A Siting tribute to the memory of the blessed Redeemer Is to do some of the works He pent his life in doing; blessing mankind, ministering to the suffering, alleviating sorrow; promoting peace and follow ing his perfect example. Carrying out for one day in the year at least the precept "Do to others as ye would they should do to you." And in this way are treasures laid up in heaven; which Is another precept of the same great Teacher. Manylittle children think of Christmas only as a gala day, on which they are to have everything that Is good to eat (and lots of things that are not good for them) and everything done for their pleasure; and very often; forget to do any" one good' thing for any other person., Little children should be taught that on that day par ticularly it is proper,and Indeed a duty to minister in some wayto those who are not so highly favored as themselves. To make some little sacrifice for another's good. To divide something with another child, or aged person. A very pro--' per thing to teach children to do Is that of help-to-g to bring sunshine into the life of those who have lived on into "the eere and yellow leaf," and need the warmth of young lives to quicken thefr pulses temporarily. If more attention v . wa9 given to this matter it would be a source of great happlnees to the aged. Many of them have not grandchildren of their own crowding around their homes to wait upon and caress thejn, and they need tenderness and loving care for are they hot feeble and weak, and many years and much trial has made them weary. .. Encourage the children to show them favor as well as respect, and see that some tangible kind- ness is bestowed by the young and beautiful. . One of the most elevating traits of human character Is the reverence for age; above all children In the world the children of Zlon should be instructed in this pleasant duty. --The association of little children is specially delightful to people far advanced in years, not to weary them with noise and confusion, but a little gaiety and mirthful ness Is like an elixir to their drooping spirits. Christmas is the very time to perform i noble deeds, and mingled with festivity and song and the bounties of earth, will be the happy feeling that comes from blessing others. Keeping Christmas Is a grand custom, and one' which should be continued, but it ought not to be a strain upon the family for weeks before hand to contrive how to economize sufficiently to make expensive presents. This in the present day teams to be carried to the extreme. Moderation in all things is wiser than excess, and hap- - piness is not heightened so much by extrava- 7 gant luxuries and presents, as Jn that which pro-- " e I |
