Christmas has come and gone, we believe to the joy of every householder and parent and to the happiness of the children. We are one of those who believe that Christmas has been perverted in our county in the past seventy years from its original purpose and it has become not a religious festival, but a festival for the adoration of children. It is notorious that the uppermost thought is no longer the blessings which our Lord and Saviour conferred upon man-kind and for which we ought to be humbly thankful, but whatever will capture the fancy of the children of the household and gratify their wants and their
caprices. It thus seems to us that Chrismas has become rather the day of adoration for the children than of genuine and warm gratitude to the Giver of all Good for the blessings he showers upon his earthly children.
The consequence of this new fashion, for so we will call it, is that children re so much coddled by their parents and their relatives that it warps the tissues of their souls, and under this soft coddling both boys and girls so grow up that they rarely reach their full manhood and womanhood. It is the remark in all ages that boys and girls who grow up under a hardy early life and who are taught to expect and get little posses the real manhood and womanhood of the country.
Seventy years ago Chrismas was regarded as a good and holy day. The young were then provided with moderate but not excessive enjoyments. A multitude of presents were then sarcely know. children were thankful for what their fathers and mothers gave them but they did not grumble whe they got less than they thought they had a right to expect.
