THE WIDER VISION.
In rc-rmer times, as Christmas near-
ed,
I was content with gifts that cheered
The little few I called my friends.
Whose thought to life Itse sweetness;
lends, `
Or those who nearest, dearest are,
Beneath the glowing mild Home Star;
For these I planned provincial fond,
Kin-bound, nor ever looked beyond. ,
My household circle, narrow street,
My native town, it seemed but meet
ln these should centre Yuletide joys.
Each year like other years before,
The circle narrowing, narrowing
more-
Giftgivlng, dull, perfunctory, slow.
A habit lislless. a more show.
Now l look out across t he world,
My snail-soul from its shells uncurl-
I ed! _ ._ -
The limitations of my purse
l mourn. as sadly I rehearse
The needs of friends I long to cheer
New kin of mine, this Christmas year!
And I would own the fabled gold
That Midas stored in days of old!
What matters race or skin or creed?
ce ` comfort millions iieedl
No more I count my street, my town,
But on my scanty means I give
That unknown kin of mine may live,
Aiid earn my cheer on Christmas Day,
By gifts sent to the Far-Away!
