ISTMAS time is Armful
lime. 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.

Christmas time is
Impersonal lime. Neither < "/
poor nor rich, fortunate; ff > /jj|w
nor unfortunate can *y
escape its sweetening
power, if they but
let it in when it
comes around. Foi
the whole World
must eventually
come to Know
the Armful Spirit
and spreach4t~far ai

^Packages, Lote, Food, Money, Clothing,

For, afler^ all, what are Feelings
and Things, and 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 afler 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?
