THE SPIRIT OF THE SEASON M AitVELONS is the influence by which the Christmas spirit moves the hearts of men to joyful and enerous impulses. It seems as if in this era of the yeal' an unseen angel ouche:s the invisible spring of an un ised door in normal human nature and ills them with joy and sunshine. What i world of generous endeavor and what i summertime of happiness is nwhirl tround us! Those whom Providence has )rospered are busy with their loving levices to make home happy, to crown he waning year with goodness, to re yard fidelity, patience and love, to reap he joys that flock into Christmas sea on like homing loves from a far cir ling light. None would deny theni all I he riches of such experience of this eason whose glory is the advent of Him 'ho came to minister ;to the poor and ek and the downcast, and not to be ted and filled with costly gifts.
