It can be stated on authority that no Christmas-keeping person will be inclined to dispute the necessary elements of the Christmas spirit are peace and good-will. It is essential to anyone’s Christmas comfort that he should have a fair measure of peace of mind. If he lacks that, he should ï¬nd out why. If his disquiet has a ï¬scal basis, he should call a meeting of himself and ï¬rmly iesolve to pro-j cure a proper relation between his m‘-' comings and his outgoings at the cost whatever sacriï¬ce of pomps and vanities may be necessary. He may not be able to do that actually in a day, or a week, but he can plan and he can re solve; and if he has a tolerably ï¬rm mind he ought to be able to resolve with suflicient vigor to bring his‘spirit the necessary relief.
