THE LAGRANGE REPORTER. FRIDAY MORNING DEC. 18. 191-1. =^=.^—■. i ■ -gag9 F. M. LONGLEY, Second Vice-President. ROBERT HUTCHINSON, Assistant Cashier. HARDWARE CO. TELEPHONE NO. 204 Cbs Christmas Spirit Christmas! One dayspring of cheerfulness and freedom from cankering care and selfishness and envy in a year of toil and stnie and consuming unrest. Christmas, marvelous boon to human ty, springing legitimately from the brief, eventful life of the carpenter's Son, is a fixed institution. The twen tieth century could not spare it if it would; wouldn’t if it could. The Christinas spirit is everywhere pervading the world for this brief,,blessed day. Leveling ranks, silencing selfish ness, dwarfing ea.e, ignoring toil, forgetting creed and cult and birth and environment, it makes peace and good will not only possible, but inevitable. The gifts it bears are the spon taneous fruit of the omnipotent, all pervading spirit of Christ mas—a wellsprir.g in the desert, a sunbeam on a wintry day, a single exception to a steadfast rule. The spirit of Christmas never cloys. We cannot have too much of it. Morning, noon and night, for break! ast. dinner and supper, the first thing on awaking and the last thing on going to sleep, every hour of every day of every week of every month of the year we want the spirit of Christmas, for it is the spirit of ministration, of giving, of service, of doing for others. “Not to be ministered unto, but to minister”—this motto lived out on every day of the year would dispel the sorrows of the world, smooth out its wrinkles, abolish its poverty, soothe its pain, comfort its heartaches, heal its diseases, make it a heaven. This is what is typified by every Christmas tree and every grift it bears, by every bulging little stocking that hongs in the chimney corner, by every wreath of holly, by every greeting and merry wish.

Christmas Htiimls for one thing—our Father’s wondrous love to us, his erring and unworthy children, In send Ing Ids only begotten Son into this world to die for our sins nnd to rise again to be our Deliverer eueb day from sin and selfishness. Jesus Christ himself Is the great Christmas gift. The only true way to keep Christmas Is by first of all ac ceptlug for ourselves this wondrous gift of our Heavenly Father and then to show our appreciation of this won drons gift by giving ourselves and all that we have for others. It Is a true Instinct that leads us to give to others Christmas presents, but too often In following out this Instinct we give these Christmas gifts to the wrong persons. We give to those who already have too much and forget those who have not enough. Hod gave his great gift to the needy, to those wlto had nothing to return for his gift. Let us follow him. Let us find the needy and give to them out of our abundance. Every one who is in comfortable circumstances should find some family that is really in need. Borne family where there will be little Christmas brightness unless others come to their help and give to this family a real Christmas, Including a good Christmas dinner and some appro priate gift to every member of the family down to the youngest child. Don't do it through some society. What Is most needed Is living and sym pathetic- personal contact between rich and poor. Do this nnd you will have as merry a Christmas as you ever knew.— Rev. II A. Torrey. CHRISTMAS AGAIN! One* more the hallowed, graoious Christmas time is upon the earth. At last the long year of toil ovar tools and arts and industries ia all but ended. The Christmas fsatival, dedicated to happi ness and good will, hat come. This morning tha whole oity has wakened to quad ruple joy. The vary atmos phere of our earth is rosy, stained with the rich colors of the heart. All windows are bright with holly and ever green. Parents have discov ered that it it more blessed to give than to receive. Joy runs riot in the heart of little chil dren. Youth overflows with animal spirits. Suddenly the aged have shed their years and become young again. Be fore the light had fully dawn ed the carols had begun to be heard in the churches. And every passing hour will be hold larger multitudes throng ing to these templos of the eoul. All fool that no flowers are sweet enough, no songs bright enough, no gifte rich enough for the Christmas day. For once all strife and enmity have disappeared from the market place.—Rev. New ell D.
