\
Friends, Santa Claus and Love
By Thos. B. Meadows
Christmas day of 1934 finds me |
all alone in a large apartment far
from my friends as we measure dis
tance by miles, but my memory
serves me well as 1 reflect over the
past and find pleasant associations
lingering with me at this quiet
moment. Some where not very long
ago I read the following paragraph:
“A woman asked another why she
was so fond of a certain friend. ‘Be
cause. she replied quickly, ‘she
simulates to be my best self.
When I am with her my wits work
faster. I talk better, feel better and
faster. I talk better, feel better and
else.” The more I think about this
philosophy the mor* do I appr iatc
the soundness of it. Some people do
bring out the very best of our talents
and efforts, while others smother
and repress our purest and most
sin"cre impulses. Surely God has
intended that each of us should in-
mire "' Pe on'* to do things that we
cannot do. While pondering 'ever
the expression which I am passing
on to you, I was deeply impressed
with an impulse to put aside my
urgent work for awhile this morn
ing and to send my greetings to
some of my best friends. You have
inspired me by furnishing concrete
examples of a well spent life and
by an implied faith in me. May God
forgive me if I disappoint you for
lack of application to my task.
Christmas is a great time to re
member our friends. The atmos
phere is thoroughly charged with n
generous, loving, forgiving, and tol
erating spirit. This is the psycho
logical time for us to forget our
selves and to center our thoughts on
others. This method of objectify
ing life tends to integrate our
personalities. Friendship is renew
ed and our obligations to society
overshaddow our tendencies to.
ward self-centered personalities.
Christmas cards bring greetings for
a merry Christmas. Children are
made happy with an increased faith
in Santa Claus who so generously
remembered them. Yes, all intelli
gent people believe there is really a
Santa Claus. There will always be
a Santa Cl~us as long as love ex
presses a merry Christmas. Santa
Claus and love ore so closely linked
up together that no power on earth
separate one from the other.
Santa Claus loves us and nothing
gives him more pleasure than to
express his love through the many
gifts which he donates each year.
The more he loves us the more he
gives us. The more he gives us the
i hp loves us. Each of us should
give a worthy life of service as a
token of our love for Santa Claus
our love- for people. We love
people more when we do something
for them. That is why it is better
to give than to receive. We cannot
give Santa Claus presents and to-
and things, for he does not need
them. But we can be nice to people
and kind to those who are poor and
neglected, which will please Santa
Claus highly. The best way to be
nice to Santa Claus Is to be kind to
all people.
Another thought that comes to
me this day is this: “We should
•hankful for problems to solve.” The
individual who has no problems to
solve, or who is indifferent toward
problems, is approaching a psycho-
nathic type or stage of personality.
Fools may create problems, bait
people with wisdom will have to
solve them. Problems are not solved
satisfactorily by chance. Modem
medical authorities are unwilling to
allow a cancer run its course as na
ture’s infallibility doctrine might
suggest. We must solve our prob
lems in order to live normal lives at
our best We must solve problems
if we are to grow. One of the most
interesting characteristics of the
baby Jesus to me was his ability to
grow. He was so busy looking af
ter his Father’s business that he
failed to go home even for his meals
for several days. As we linger
around the cradle and the grave
of Jesus, let us remember the ser
vice rendered to the world during
those busy days and years of his
interesting career as the great
philosopher and teacher of all ages.
The birth of Jesus gave to the world
the greatest gift that has ever been
known. Christmas should be a great
day and we should be inspired to
more efficient service as we look
from the Cradle to the Cross and
review the noble deeds of our dear
est personal friend who gave his
life for our happiness and success.
