They bad ^ been busy doing so much- shop ping, keeping up Vith work that hud to be done, making pud dings and plea, cranberry Jelly. Oh, there was ao much for every one to do around Cliiiat- mas time. Kvery one was busy with something or other—rushing to get everything tlnlshed In time. And every one felt tired. IViit Just as Christmas ap- proHch«*d It seemed that new strength entered Into each one. It was the beautiful holiday feeling, the feeling of Joy and jj gayety, thankfulnetis for O friends, of thankfiilnemi for home, of rejoicing for families. C The fired feeling drew awa.r fj Into the background. In Its place ii came the holiday feeling—the feeling of g<K)d will to all. of nent over j peace and of contentment over the lusting posM'Ssions Ixdong Ing to mankind—the possessions on which one could never put a price. That holiday feeling brought all that wuH goinl Into the fore ground. No one would have inlssod it for aiiylhiiig In the world.— y .Mary Hrahum Itonner.

Hf course we cannot put aside tlie demands of life upon us nor evmhf'ts issues, hut we can take some time out of life for the delllierate cultiva Hon of a ixsice and contentment that will Increase our elliciency. enrich our heirigs, and make the wtnde of living more tolerable.—Farmer’s Wife.
