Christmas la a burdon. Tho hig
thought back of i?uch giving is to 1
spend money (I'll the pocket book ie|
as flat as :t pancake and ability t<*j
'"think up things" exhausted.
Now, Christmas ougnt not to drain
'you and me of our treasure in any
'sucb way. That it does so is proof
sufficient that the Christmus idea hap j
grown wonderfully dim in our minds, j
So wo como back to t&e orginal prop-'
'oaitlon: ''What shall I give at Christ:mas
time?"
And there 'Is no l>etter criterion to'
go by than this: "What will most j
' nearly express the lovp of my heart i
as r gift at this time of the year?" j
niinniu mat ana it Will (five you the)
elue to all your Christmas giving.
'Whatever lovo says do, you can do
J without lying awake nights studying j
over. And whatover the cost, that
rono thing will bring happiness, happ iness
to you as the giver and to thol
'one upon whom yur gift'is bestowed. |
For the best we can ever give is an
'empty thing when love does not go
?with it. and tit is ust as true that a
very littlo thing that carries its argosy
of love Ts Just tho thing to make others
happy.
How much, then, do you love? Let
'that be the measure of your giving.
That was the thought uppermost in
the heart of Him who gave us the
first Christmas. No ono over thought
'out anything better. No one ever
' will!?Exchange.
