He had the first privilege— ; and every heart Is tuned to catch the message of love and peace that Is abroad. Men and women greet each oth er with added friendliness; little chil- ■ dren stand eager-eyed and radiantly expectant. All humanity Is filled deep with the desire to give, to serve, to love. A new bond of fellowship is en circling the world and bringing hearts ^ together; today all and was fifteen- hundred miles from home. However, mid the rush and tumble of sorting Christmas packages, stacks of letters, and cards, he hardly j had time to grieve. The postmaster could not under stand how Charles could turn out so much more work we are all • one great, big family, watchful and so licitous about one another's welfare. The ties of home and kindred grow even more close— friendships more dear— memories more precious. Our thoughts fly on eager wings to those who are absent—the va cant chair grows sacred in our eyes. The very air Is full of some strange, wonderful force ; that fills us with exhilaration and de- j light Youth grows more tolerant of ] age and age looks with new under- : standing into the eyes ot youth. Streets are crowded with happy throbgs—shops are filled to overflow ing with gift seekers. Thousands of Christmas stockings are to be filled— thousands of older hearts are to be made happy because they are remem bered. The gospel that it is more blessed to give than to receive Is In evidence everywhere, and Its practice is bringing radiance and beauty to every face. Christmas has come again—its star Is gleaming in the sky—its magic is mil over the land! The young and the eld, the gay and the wise have fallen under its spell. And every heart Is •tnging the song of the Angela—the song that "echoed over the hills of Jfldea In the long flgo—“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, •tod win toward men." <fe 19M. . • than the others. It was all very simple. He eager ly searched every card, letter, or package to see whether or not It bore his name, hurrying on to the next one. “I surely do get great fun out of this,” burst forth Charles. ‘‘This one is heavy as lead, slides around in the box like a cake on a plate. t Silence followed, broken only by the constant thud of the “good will mes sages.” "I say,” shouted some one across the room. “Your name Is Heller, Isn’t it? I was Just cussing this heavy,! bunglesome thing when I discovered the name.” _ “It’s heavy,” said Charles making a wild dash. “It rattles?” An hour later, the postmaster mak ing his tour of inspection, stopped open-mouthed, gazing at one cornel of the room. There, sitting on the floor, was the happiest boy in the world. The Captain, as the hoys ad miringly called him, understood now why Charles’ work had accumulated In the last fifty minutes. Around him on the floor was a sea of tissue paper, ribbons, stickers, and gifts. Riding the crest of each wave were smiles. His radiant face was a Joy to behold. The postmaster grinned. Charles felt some one ‘looking at him and glanced nr into the eyea of his employer. “It Is Christmas. Cap, from dows home.” ] (£. 19 M, Waatara Naprapapar Ualaa.) Christmas in Venice Is No Thriller for Yariks T HREE United States destroyers came Into port at Venice to spend the Christmas holidays. It was Christ mas Eve. The narrow, winding streets of Venice that lead off from the Piazza San Marcd were thronged with United States gobs. In almost every gondola one could see the small round cap of an American sailor. Out In the har bor were the three ships, all lighted with red and green electric bulbs which were reflected In the blue blackness of the water. There was a large Christmas tree In electric lights on one of the decks. It was a glorious sight—particularly to American eyes— these modern American war boats ablaze with Christmas cheer. “I suppose you are thrilled,” I said to one of the gobs, “to be spending Christmas at Venice?" “Thrilled?” he echoed. “Say, this Is the worst town I ever struck In all my llfe-r-no movies—no trolley cars— nothing! Believe me, ITl be glad to get back to good old Springfield. When I think of a real American Christmas dinner, the old log fire there at home, and the family—” There was a tremor In his voice and I turned away as I saw him reach for his handkerchief to danh his eyes.— Marion R.
