Then you ean keep Christmas. Are you willing to stoop down and | consider the needs and the desires of | little children; to remember the weak- | ness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking whether | vour friends love you, and ask your | self whether you love them enough to bear in mind the things that. other | people have to bear on their hearts; | to try to understand what those who { live in the same house with you really | want, without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so that It will | glve more light and less smoke, and to carry It in front s0 that your shadow | will fall behind you; to make & grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate {| "pen--are you. willing to do these things even for a day?

Are you willing to belleve that love Is the strongest thing In the worid-- stronger thun hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death--and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago lis the image and brightness of the eternal love? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you can keep it for a day, why not always? But you can never keep It alone.--Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Soft Sugar Vanilla Wafers.

A well | known Bosnian legend offers a version of world adoration--they claim that | on the holy day "the sun in the east bowed down, the stars stood still; the |* mountains and forests shook and touched the earth with their summits, and the green pine tree bent; the grass was beflowered with the open- Ing of blossoms; incense sweet as myrrh pervaded upland and forest: | birds sang on the mountain tops and | all gave thanks to the great God." { In Bosnia on Christmas day a sheaf | of rye is put into birds' nests and bird | houses for the birds' Christmas. A stranger, stranded in a Michigan town 8 once startled to see a sheaf of rye in a bird box.
