ISTMAS time is Armful
time. Homes of Armfuls,
Cities of Armfuls—streets
for miles just streams
of humans, their arms
cramped with bundles
and pacKages bobbing
against their beating
Hearts. PacKages wrap-
ped in golden cords of
Love. And aching bacKs glad of the
chance to carry them—eased and
strengthened by Love.
Packages, big and little—to be GIVEN
AWAY1
Christmas time is Universal Spirit
time. When forthwith all the mean
and petty and'JtSfp^nd thought-affairs
of the^orld, g&h^med^nd head-
bowed
bachstep while the
lea has. its way. And

as time is
^^o^:^S|ne, too. When
piihK of tlie many hours
Pur© and Unhappiniss
andv Di«c^agement have shaKen us.
And' how ^e didn't care, because
we, Knew all along that Success and
Happiness and Encouragement would
come around, sooner or later, and
walK home with us. And yet-these
three last named great Friends of
Joy haven't walKed home with All.
And so, we are going to maKe this
Christmas, as far as we are con-
cerned, an Armful time to them.
This way. In—
Food, Clothing, Money, Smiles, Pats
on the Back—to be GIVEN AWAY.

Christmas time is
Impersonal time. Neith
poor nor rich, fortuna
nor unfortunate can
escape its sweetening
power, if they but
let it in when it
comes around. F
the whole World
must eventually
come to Know
the Armful Spirit
and spreads-far
humblest and m
it So that they.
jes, Lobe, FoodI Money, Clothing,
:cess—to be GIVEN AWAY!
For, ^Lffer , all, what are Feelings
and Thing§^i£nd Lives, if they are
not to be Expressed, Distributed,
Divided, and with free and happy
and lavish hand—GIVEN AWAY?
Everything in Life was made—to be
GIVEN AWAY!
This Christmas time, my Brain, as
we reason together, and my Heart,
as we feel our impulses out into the
wide world of life, can we ever hope
to get and possess if we don't con-
stantly GIVE AWAY? Don't you
Know that it is impossible to GET
without GIVING —that, also if you
don't Give, what you have will surely
leave you? And Don't you Know
that after you have GIVEN AWAY
all that you had and have gone
bacK home to your Heart, you will
id that you have more
there than you had
>m which you have now
GIVEN ALL away?

CHIPMUNKS GATHER NUTS.
"The Chipmunks were having a Fine
time the other Day," said Daddy.
'Hurry up, hurry up,' said old Father
Chipmunk to the younger ones. 'We
want all the Nuts we can get for the
Winter. There will be a long, long
time to Gat, and we must hunt now.'
"Mother Chipmunk was down In her
Hole In the ground. The Squirrels al-
ways have their Homes in the Holes of
Trees but the Chipmunks like tht
Ground better. She was teaching all
tfie very little ones that they must only
Drink Dew-Drops, For they are like
the Rabbit Family, and think that Wa-
ter which has touched the Ground is
very dangerous to Drink. They will
only Drink fresh Dew-Drops and Rata
Water from Leaves and Flowers.
"All the little Chipmunks hurried
and scurried about, and pretty soon
Father Chipmunk said, 'I will offer a
Prize for the one who gets the greatest
number of Nuts. Hurry, scurry!' He,
too, started to go off on the bunt.
"'Well,' said Mother Chipmunk a
she looked up from her Hole where the
Nest was hidden, 'I think that's a funny
Joke, Father Chipmunk. If you get the
greatest number of nuts yourself, what
will you do then? Keep the prize? For
you are going Hunting with the others
I notice.'
" Tes,' said Father Chipmnnk, Blink-
ing his Eyes and Grinning, 'I have a
very fine Prize. I would like bo much
to have it myself.' Mother Chipmunk
talked on to Father Chipmunk about
Winning the Prize.
"After some time had gone by a good
many of the little Chipmunks began
running back and forth with great
piles of Nuts. They each Picked out
a corner, so that In the end all the
Nuts could be counted and the Prize
Winner decided upon.
"And It was not until then that Fa-
ther Chipmunk saw that he had been
spending all his time Chatting, and
that he hadn't found a single Nut.
" 'I won't win the Prize,' he said In
a shrill Voice. 'What made you keep
me here Talking? Don't you want me
to win the Prize?"
'Certainly not,' said Mother Chip-
munk.
"'And so that Is why you kept me
here?' asked Father Chipmunk. 'Well,
you're certainly very Clever. I never
thought you were doing that. But why
didn't you want me to have a good
try for the Prize?'
'Because,' Scolded Mother Chip-
munk Softly, 'it would have been a
very bad Example for the Children.
The very Idea of taking your own
Prize. You didn't realize how it sound-
ed. Do you see now?'
"'Oh yes, yes,' said Father Chip,
munk. 'Now I see. What a bud Ex-
ample It would have been. I never
thought of It that way.'
"*I know,' said Mother Chipmunk,
•you were just a little Thoughtless and
fjr
think of Christmas
ARMFULS to
GIVEN AWAY—
V each and all as
is.able.

Selfish. All of us need to be told now"
and then, for we're all apt to get that
way.'
"'It was good of you to Help me,'
said Father Chipmunk smiling pleas-
antly at her. 'But I can go Hunting,
can't I, now? For I've certainly lost
the prize—which, of course, I don't
want when I think about it, but I
would like to gather Nuts, for I am
pretty good at It'
" 'Scamper right along,' said Mother
Chipmunk.
''fa,c,k forth. «fm!n and again
came the Chipmunks; and Father Chip,
munk found ever so many too, but
when he thought he was getting a lit-
wfth v!^rd™e WCUld 8top and
with Mother Chipmunk, or show some
very young Chipmunk where was a
good place to look for Nuts, as he was
ashamed of himself that he ever
thought of taking his own Prize. For
he was a good Hunter of Nuts and he
could very easily have won it
gattoS. aWh"e en°"Bh Nuts wore
"7e h *e plenty.- said Father Chlp-
h«n^" f it. ChlP,m,nks looked s
happy at the quantities they saw In

Unned Father Chipmunk, 'Chippy
Ohappy has won the Prize of « fine
House I made out of Nute-a nice lit-
tie House of special kinds of Nuts-
h *** ^ttt a Room whenever he
feels hungry! But now, all of yon
hurry, and hide your Nuts!' And off
