I have always thought oi' Christmas

time, when it has come around, as a good time, i1 kind, forgiving. charit- able, pleasant time, the only time I know of, in the ioiig calendar of tho year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely. And. therefore. though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good. and will do me good; and I say. God bless it.-» Charles Dickens. _ , _ _
