"Why, bless her dear old heart," Mrs. White cried, "what in the world is it?" "Well," answered Henry, "she said she had mode some soap and that the batch turned out so weil she wanted you to have some; she said it made a fine suds, and that she wished you a Merry Christmas." And sure enough, when Mrs White unwrapped the clumsily tied package, there was a brick of home- made yellow soap, smelling strong- ly of sassafras. A friend of the family who was present was inclined to take the matter as a joke. sent you a . SANT SORSSSSSITEES SANIACL ran Fmaa "What a funny thing," she laugh- ed. "I didn't suppose anyone made soap at home, nowadays." But the bar of aromatic cleanser meant more to Mrs. White than mere piece of soap. It stood for friendship. It was a symbol of ser- vice gladly given. Grandma Cook's soap-was a real gift, something she thought was extra nice and there- fore wanted to share with one she liked. : Oh, when will we get away from the idea gifts must represent money, that we. cannot give unless we have the wherewith to purchase the glit- tering wares displayed in the win- dow and on the counter, during the holiday season? Last Christmas a friend happened to look out of a window and espied a neighbor's lit- tle bov coming in the gate; his sec- retive air and carciul tiptoemg up the walk made the friend step be- hind a curtain, where he could see without being seen. Cautiously the boy crept upon the porch and, his little face breaking into smiles, de- posited a newspaper-wrapped bun- dle at the door, then still tiptoeing, he hurried down the walk and out of the gate. Waiting until he was out of sight, so as not to spoil the "surprise," my friend opened the door and, up- on undoing the parcel, found a tiny basket made of cardboard and cov- ered with gaudy red and green pa- per, put on with mang a glaring stitch and smeer of glue. It con- tained several pieces of hard, strip- ed candy, a home-made yarn ball, some broken nut meats, laboriously picked out with patient little fin- gers and a broken-bladed jackknife, doubtless his most cherished posses- sion.--Frank Herbert Sweet. CHRISTMAS GREETINGS By Molly Bevan (From The Blue Bell) I love the dear old customs That bless our Christmas Day. The holly and the candles, The trees and ribbons gay; The carols and the laughter, The gifts from friend to friend, And best of all the greeting cards That kindly people send. As sweet as bells far chiming The joyous words they bear, The little simple messages That greet you everywhere; The wishes that they offer For "health, for wealth, and cheer For peace and glad contentment to meet the coming year." Bright with the crimson ribbons And painted holly spray, Their golden magic warms a heart That's half the world away; Wherever ship makes haven, By alien shore or tide, The little cards of Christmas go To bless some lone hearthside. I love this festive season, The roaring fires aglow, The song and feast and happiness The starlight and the snow; But best, of all I love the cards That kindly people send To voice a Christmas blessing From friend ta absent friend. A Nazareth Once they fetched Him gold and frankincense and myrrh -- Now on these low hills what fra- grant breath shall stir Save Lebanon's far sweetness of ce- dar trees and fir? Dark-browed kings brought Him there frankincense and gold-- Came they then in silken robes, with jewels manifold, -- Here are only yellow flowers for His young hands to hold. Yellow gold they brought him there, myrrh and frankincense, Phials of the world's tears, shed in penitence,-- Smoke of new sacrifice, lifting, whi- ther, whence? How doth He fare now in quiet Nazareth? Sometimes in the morning dreams He hath, But always in the evening He must dream of death. high Some they brought Him bright gold for birthday offering, One was a wise man, and one was a king, And some flew down to Bethlehem, wing on silver wing,-- And some will light a high star on a starry tree, But who will remember how lone- ly youth must be? Frightened and lonely 'on the hills of Galilee. For that gold and this gold, who will understand The dark fear on Him in the far, strange land ?-- Mary's eyes, maybe, young John's hand, Save and THE TREE AND THE CANDLE (By Martha B. Thomas) Said the little Christmas candle To the little Christmas tree, "We're both of us 'important But of course you must agree I'm twice as bright as you are, And if it weren't for me, You'd never make a hit at all In being Christmas Tree!" Said the tree then to the candle, And his tone was most polite, "Your gay illumination Is particularly bright, But allow me one small question Which seems both fair and right-- Can you not see you're merely meant To make me shine at night?" The candle softly twinkled, And then at last said she, "I guess that I am here for you And you are here for me!"
