Merritt Family Christmas Reconciliation Through Albert
Albert Merritt leaves Indiana after a harsh farewell and returns years later to find his parents and Helen Blake hopeful. A Kansas fire hero story in the town paper signals his courage, and a reunion at the Merritt farmhouse follows as Albert and Helen renew their bond. Sam McCorkle accompanies Albert west, then joins the homecoming.

A Christmas Without Spending Money in Christian Lands
The piece contrasts modern Christmas excess with older practice, recalling how earlier generations celebrated without gifts or trees. It traces the shift from penny savings to handmade presents, toys in the central west after 1850, and debates on generosity and restraint in holiday customs. It cites regional memories from Cincinnati, Louisville, and St. Louis, and notes environmental concerns from evergreen cuttings.
