Hp HERE Is always a place to which one may dee In time of need. Thai place is the inside of our own heads I Provided, of course, that the inside of our own heads is properly furnished with imagination and that the key is not rusted in the loch from long disuse. dis-use. If you are a little lonely on Christmas, eve, or n little unhappy, or a little anything that tends to tarnish tar-nish the glow of the season, why not climb up to that place inside your head, rattle the lock, be quite firm with the key no matter how stiu"r". it is, then enter into what joy ju may summon by your thoughts? Glad wishes for friends are the green wreaths we may hang in the windows of our Christ mas room. Hopes for anotbiT year are the candles can-dles we light on the table. New plans are the fruit to deck the hoard, and very likely there will be a guest or so to share tlioin. Think of the Fire of Purpose you may light on your hearth! Think f the glow and warmth It will cast over you ! Tiling of the castles and dreams you crowded out of your heart because you were too busy; the fine, adventurous adven-turous ones; the funny ores ynu have laughed over all to yourself; the shy ones you would not reveal to a ?ou! nt ar.y price. Call tneni all back and see what a splendid ret of hisoi, -aliens they are. You'll feel like a new person. And don't forget to put a present on the Tree of Faith for yourself; something you've wanted all your life. If you can't have It this year, waiting will make it more precious; and if yon can (oh, think of that!) you'll be all the better prepared. Do Fpenf, a little time in jou? Chrlst-rrr. Chrlst-rrr. 1 |
