ions, our optimism and our faith. 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.

In front of a Fifth avenue store I

ing the cost. 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

economy as well as great religious
-truth.
Men misunderstood Him, and abused

fitting that His day should be their
