For our own projection, we hedge our- selveq around with distrust and armor ourselves with cautious doubt. We shut away in a secret place our more sensitive emotions anchpur impulses to affection and ready faith. We may come, indeed, to fear them lest they betray us in the daily struggle with hard reality and necessity. Yet simple trust and faith and af fection remain forever the chief needs of the spirit. Instinctively we acknowl edge this ip the warm welcome we give to the season of-good will. We are briefly aware of love’s essential and saving grace in the warm happi ness of thc:^Christma3 festival that now en^vel^pes the world. We pay an nual tribute to its ancient power for natural good and spiritual health when we wish our friends and neighbors the happiness of a New Year. n One six-room house, corner Ferguson and, :i * Owens Street.

She looked up eagerly into his eyes, tugged at his hand, and his hesitation vanished. Together they crossed the sidewalk and disappeared into the store. I stood for a moment looking after them, and I thought: “There is human history in a single scene. There is pro- i gress; there is the foundation of pros perity; there is the assurance of bet ter days. I “If the world were peopled only with adults it would quickly stagnate. Adults pause, and fear and figure. The wants of age are few and quickly satisfied. “Childhood wants everything. Child hood knows no hampering fqjirs, no fettering econoniTbs. It tugs at our re luctant hands and, to satisfy its crav ings, we find within ourselves greater capacities for production and expendi ture than we had suspected.” No one seems to know the reason. To E. D. Craig, the “Ford Man”— as he continues to help make Henry credit for the return of courage an(i hope. Actually, I think, the recovery begins earlier. It has its start at Christmas time. Sbeps are filled with Christmas goods. Trains run full and trucks and drays are loaded with things to be giv en away. When men will not buy for themselves even the very essentials, Hhey will buy for their children ynder the Christmas urge. So business begins to grow better at Christmas time; for every Christmas purchase helps to start the machinery of selling and making into quicker motion. “It is more blessed to give than-^to receive, said the Founder of Christ mas, and He uttered sound political economy as well as great religious -truth. Men misunderstood Him, and abused Him, and crucified Him. Children lov ed Him and basked in His smjle. It is fitting that His day should be their day.
