This is a declaration of having abandoned any of the precepts of Christmas as far as they, themselves, are concerned. And perhaps im- an attempt to set things right again, these sa-me grown-ups "rgo ail out-" for the chul- dren in their family circles, and their acquaintance. It's fine to "~go ail out" ' for chiidren, at any time, as long as it is in Proportion to the event, and if the children's well-belng is taken into account. But sacrificiai or ex- travagant giving can be harm fui to the children, give tbem a f aise sense of values, and of course cause the giver hardship, for no good pur pose. Let us take an aduit look at Christmas. Let us think of the strong, virile Christ when we think of Christmas, not merely the helpless Babe. Let us think of this ma- ture man-God, with bis aduit convictions, bis aduit compassion, bis aduit physical strength, and bonor these qualities. Let us Put- this true evaluation of Christ into Christ-mas. As aduits, it is we who must do this. And in doing this, we take nmot a whit away from the children"' p leasure. But we add signiicance, immeas- urably, to our own.
