Hazard TXTdlEN the boy passed the baker’s shop on his way to school, he used to look with longing upon the display of pies and cokes and resolve In his heart that If fortune should ] ever bless him with means he would' have enough of a feast for once. But when, in after years, he pussed the same old shop and looked upon the new treasures of the old window, now with a pocketful of money, he hnd, ceased to care for the goodies, and went on, jingling Ills useless coins. What do we want now? Not what we used to want. Not more pie, not more candy, not more toys, not even more money. The old ambitions have been realized, the old gouls have been reached, we have the power of which we dreamed, there doesn’t seem to be anything In sight worth running after, we look out upon a splendid world with a failing desire for It, we go on by an acquired momentum ruther than with zest. Still, we are unsatisfied. Yet we want something. What Is It? What do we want? What could the Christmas time bring us of satisfac tion? How would you like to recover that lost art of Imagination? How would a large Investment In hope pay you? What would that strange power of be holding the reality and the loveliness of a spiritual world, that mysterious power that some have, mean to you? If you could be a child nguln, just for Christmas Eve, perhaps, you would see the meaning of the stars that ride so gloriously upon the billows of space. You might feel called up and out by the supreme and satisfying Joy that Christmas signifies. After nil, we may have gained the world and lost faith, nn immeasurable loss. Only he who keeps his childllkc- noss—not his childishness—knows the eternal worth of time, the satisfac tion of that everlasting love that faith grasps. Whnt n Christmas gift that would be I Was not the old colored preacher right when he sang, “All I want, all l want; all I want is a little more faith in Jesus”? PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR Custom of Oriental Countries Is to Give Special Performances In the Play Mduses. /"pHE Oriental methods of greeting the New Year differ greatly from ours. In Japan, as well as in other Oriental countries, special perform* ances are given In the theaters. In the temples and shrines priests and attendants entertain the people with special dances. The Kugura, or Sacred Dance With Music, is the fa vorite, for while it Is being given prayers are offered for the continued happiness of the nation during the coming year. This very old daned Is performed by young girls, while the priests are the musicians. All are In appropriate costume. Another ceremonial, which has been handed down for centuries, Is the Shu- Sal, or Dance of the Ancestral Sanc tuary. This Is given within the palace by the Imperial family on January 3, and It celebrates the founding of the Imperial house, centuries i.go.
