season are going out by thought wave to each one as we prepare to celebrate once more the birth of the babe of bethlehem gods great gift to mankind may i share with you ths story which came to me in a business letter received re cently from toronto though not new perhaps it contains a thought which i think we all are prone to overlook in these busy days john smith who can stand for any of us had become cyn ical about christmas just a racket he said inducing peo ple to spend far more money than they can afford just a lot of hypocrisy about good will that nobody whl show a month later we d be better without christinas at all it was in this mood that he fell asleep then he seemed to waken it was christmas morning and he was a young man again looked out on the street and saw people hurrying about their business there was no ngn of a holiday the stores were open the factories run ning he ran out and hailed the first person he met isnt this mm christmas he cried christ mas asid the other whats christmas i never heard of it just down the street was the orphanage surety the children would remember he burned toward it but there was no building there just a vacant lot what had happened to the town around the corner he looked for the familiar hospi tal buildings but none were there only a vacant lol al most in a panic now he ran the few blocks to the old church he had attended as a boy the minister would reassure him he thought but there was no church or pastor to be seen just vacant lots in agony of mind unable to adjust himself to a world where everything christian was gone he wrench ed himself awake thank god it has only been a dream he thought he sat bolt upright in bed the bells were ringing it was christmas morning thank gor for christmas he said right out loud yes let
