A THOUGHT FOR CHRISTMAS.
"There are always many opportunities at Christmas time of showing kindness and sympathy to the lonely, the forgotten, and thie unlucky—a large class -who drop out of sight and out of mind, not from unkindness, but because we are too busy to think of them.
"Do not let us be too superior, Ofritoo modern, to keep. Christmas as'it has been kept for. two thousand years or moriei. Emotionally we axe very old; intellectually we are very young. The cynic who thinks he has outgrown the halfserious and half-playful observance of old traditions is a foolish and unlovable person. The wise man knows how to play the fool, and in doing so to give vent to a warm humanity of which he has no reason to be ashamed."
—Dean Inge.
