OR many years Marelu had not
been exactly happy on Christ-
mas; somehow she had never
received the pretty things bestowed
upon other girls. "If they all only
knew how I have secretly longed
for those soft, dainty luxuries,"
thought Marelu, as she sat before
the fireplace, just three days be-
fore Christmas.
"There are those kitchen aprons,
for instance, from dear old aunt
Lucia. Every year, as far back as
I can remember, it has always
been aprons. I must have almost a
dozen by now. Then there is cousin
Marie, who has been sending the
irvitable handkerchiefs r i g h t
along, year after year. There must
be quite a collection of them, too."
While she had
• been grateful and
thankful for these
kind r e m e m-
brances, she had
not been exactly
thrilled.
,/p A happy Christ-
mas thought sug-
gested itself to
Marelu as she
gazed out at the
s 1 e nder icicles
shining like sil-
ver in the moon-
light. "I know
what I'll do. I'll'
start right now
and wrap up all
these things into
pretty Christmas
parcels and give them to someone
who really needs them."
When Christmas day arrived
Marelu started out with her basket
brimming full of beautifully
wrapped and tied Christmas gifts,
Every step she took over the holi-
day carpet of snow represented a
ldly thought of cheer.
"Merry Christmas," she cried,
as she handed a bright colored par-
cel to dear old Linda Larsen.
"The very same to you," said
she, with a questioning look of sur-
lrise. The next moment she was
proudly unwrapping a pair of pret-
ty bath towels. Marlene and Dolly,
two little girls around the corner,
danced up and down with joy when
they saw the snowy handkerchiefs
with colored borders. Marelu
iled happily as she left the little
girls =and proceeded to her next
Stop. Erie Lynn was overwhelmed
with surprise when a gift wm hand-
ed her. She explained that it had
been years since she had received
a Christmas present.
After several other interesting
calls Marelu started for home. The
street lights fiashed on and the
glimmering Christmas trees joined
in the ceremony on all sides of
her. As she drew near her own
home she stood still a moment and
admired the grandeur of the dark
pines encircling the house under a
white burden of snow. The varia-
tions of colors gleaming from the
windows seemed to be stretching
;out to meet the pines.
Inside the house was warmth and
joy and Christmas cheer as the
family gathered about the Christ-
mas tree, pointed
with the star
of Bethlehem.
Marelu was just
in time for the
celebration. Bob-
by had been cho-
sen to read off
the names upon
the gifts and all t
eyes were cen-
tered upon the
basket con-
them.
First on the
program," shout-
ed Bobby, "is for
mother." A I I
WO. Jlered what it
could be.
"A gorgeous
lp ade." cried mother, as she
held it up for all to see.
"Wli still admiring this thing of
beatlly, Bobby shouted louder than
ever, '.'Something for the governor,
himself. Get ready, pop, for your
surprise,"
"What can the strange package
be, for goodness sake?" said fa-
ther, his eyes popping with inter-
est. "Well, I do declare, if it isn't
a golf set. Just what I have want-
ed for a long time," as he tarted
W examine it.
"Oh boy, hold out your hands
and catch, Dot, a ducky package
you, all tied with silver cord.
ha1 is it? Open it quickV'
Dot removed the bright red tis-
Ime and disclosed a white wool
skating outfit.
Marelu had been so absorbed in
what the others were receiving
that she had forgotten all about
herself. For the first time in many
years she had received the things
she really adored. With a heart
full of appreciation and joy, she
ed "
suddenly shout , Merry Christ-
masl" The others did not quite
prehend the extent of Marelu's
enthusla=n, but she, herself, felt,
this had been the
merriest Christmas
The Geatest
Christmas Story

And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria,)
And all went to be taxed, every-
one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judea, unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem (because
he was of the house and lineage of
David.)
To be taxed with Mary his es-
poused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accom-
plished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in swad-
dling clothes and laid him in a man-
ger, because there was no room for
them in the inn.
And there were in the same coun-
try shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flocks by
night.
And In, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shown about them, and
they were afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not; behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be
said to all people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of David, a Savior, which is
Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
hosts praising God and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men.
And it came to pass, as the angels
were gone away from them into
heaven, the shepherds said one :o
another, Let ns now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing which
is come to pass, which the Lord has
made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad saying which
was told them concerning this child.
And all that heard it wondered at
those things which were told them
by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things
and pondered them in her heart.
And the Shepherds returned, glori-
fying and praising God for all the
things that they had heard and
seen, as it was told unto them.

Calculation of the Christian era ia
usually credited to Dionysius Exi-
geus in the Sixth century. However,
he was somewhat in error, as it is
believed Jesus was born before what
was January 1, in A. D. 1. The
phrase Anne Domini (year of our
Lord), of which A. D. is the ab-
breviation, was believed to have
been first used in 1219.
School for Santa
Last year at Buffalo, N. Y., a
night school to train raw recruits
into a crop of finished Santa Clauses
was opened. The time may come
when every jovial, red-garbed street
corner bell-ringer's whiskers mask
a Bachelor of Santa Claus Psychol-
ogy.
There is a lot of good, even in the
Scrooges.

There can be no blackout of peace tar
where the Star of Bethlehem shines.
"Star of Hope to souls in night,
Star of peace above our strife,
Guiding, where the ghtes of death
Open to fields of endless life."
Christmas is one day in the year,
which, more than any other, unites
countless people, throughout the
world in a bond of mutual under-
standing and rejoicing.
