SMITH Member, Kiwanis Club of Ange les, California, in The Kiwanis Magazine. In the midst of the last minute Christmas rush when the town post office was crowded with those who were mailing Christmas packages of all sizes and shapes, he came up to the door with his arms piled high and with a none too amiable expres sion on his face. It was easy to.see_that this Ameri can busings Tnah looked upon the assignment of mailihg the annual Christmas gifts and greetings as something of a nuisance, if not an im position. He seemed to be such a practical person and Christmas was Btwh a sentimental business! Somehow, in manipulating the door open, he managed to start a stampede among the package.^, with the result that they started off in all directions, some actually getting inside the post office, some landing on the steps, out side, and a few disappearing in the snow piled high beside the steps. In that tense moment which follow ed, a bystander with tantalizing hu mor called out merrily, “Merry Christmas to you.” With that the business man stopped for a st^cond or two and .*5tart‘d.^ Then, with the fluency and fei-vor rent of profapity that utterly"Weii'iHl the spirit of the packagp.s he had just lost. .As other bystanders went off into roars of laughU^r, the angry one fumed and raged helplessly. He was in the midst of Christmas, but he had no jjart in it.z . - • It is so easy tOxga^^oa^^ through liss Christ; mas entirely^ One can carry Christ mas packages to the post office, buy beautiful gifts for friends and loved ones, send out artistic greetings to every one on the list, eat a bountiful Christmas dinner, and even give Christmas baskets to the p(H)r, and still miss Christmas completely. Christmas Is not a date on the calendar, nor a .season of the year, but a spirit within the heart. One can have all the w’rappings of Christmas and participate in §11 the Christmas festivities, and if he does not have that mystical spirit within his own soul which transforms and sanctifies he will miss Christmas altogether. Christmas is a strange blend of the spirit of a little child and the faith of an old man who has seen righteous ness triumph; a combination of faith, hope and tru.st; a forgetfulness of self ami a sense of worth-whileness; a faith in God and a confidence in man; ar experiment in the life of the spirit of peace and goodwill; a disdain for deficits and an indiferrence to thrift; a conservation of the loveliest and a prodigal spending of one’s best and holiej>t; an upw’ard look of the soul to God, and a downward reach of the hands to those who are in need. One reason why so many miss Christmas is because they do not be gin making preparation for it early enough. Those who get“tlm most out of it, and find the most in it, are those who begin getting ready for it the first day after the last Chri.stmas.
