fVWyVWYYTT7WTWWVWY?THOME AT CHRISTMASBy KATHERINE EDELMANW.MAT a jvy il is to come home \ at Christmas! What delightful anticipation the very thought of it brings during the busy, happy weeks * j that ,/eome before. In the street, in | j the office or shop, or wherever we are j during this time, Our hearts warm aJ jthe joy of all that it will mean.What pleasure to listen as the train thunders its way,across the miles:— to know that each moment we are drawing nearer and nearer to the old home place. What thrills surge over 1 US as we think of the gifts that we j are carrying home and the joy of handing them to those we love. What a rush of love and tenderness fills us as we think of the happy meeting that lies ahead, of the warmth of the welcome tlmt awaits us, of the joy thai our coming will bring 1 What if it was hard to get away— what though it entailed sacrifice and expense? Is not one hour of its gladness worth the price? Will not the memory of it cheer us over and over in the days that are coming—a shining pearl upon our chain of remem brance?ri 4 •• .It is good to come home at all times, and cold, indeed, is the- heart that does not respond to its thrill But to come home at Christmas, when bells are ringing* when heart Is call ing to heart across the miles, when the ties of home and kin have grown deeper and dearer, that is a happiness beyond all telling. To miss it for some small reason is to deprive ourselves of one of life’s greatest'joys.*(©. 1928, Western Newspaper Union.!
