\ WORD FOR TIE C.zsLDasES.

Christmas is coming very soon and
Sou@re looking forward to it with great
edSerhess, wondering what Santa Claus
VIII bring you. He has always brought
you something either in your homes or
In your Sunday Schools. Has it ever
occurred to You that there are chiden
10 Whome Santa Claus never comes? |
dont think he means to be partial, but
nave noticed that-he goes to the better
houses and leaves presents for those
VINO have always had presents, While
III some OF the very poor houses where
the very poor people live he dose not al
ways go. 1t may be that the chimneys
are 50 small in such houses that he is
afraid of spelling the great fur coat
that he always wears, for | imagine
That he is very much like common folks
after all. l have thought of plan by
Which each one of you can become a
little SAINT Claus and provide gifts for
those children who are generally forgot
ten. 1t is for you to look over your pre-
sents received last year and year before,
and select some that you are willing to
give away, such as dolls, games, picture
books, toys etc, and which VIII really
be in your way when the new Christ
mas gifts comes. Now in doing this
don't think it will Edo to send old brok-
en- things. They should be only such as
are whole, and nice to look at, and
right here let me tell you little secret,
which however you would find out your
selves when You have tried it and that
IS, the more you prize thing, the hap
pier you will be in giving it, thinking
how very happy some other little child
Will be to get it. Now l am going to
propose that you take such gifts as you
are willing to give to Mrs Perrys on
9Th, street, Saturday Dec. 18th, or not
later than Tuesday Dee 18th, and from
there they viii be sent where they Will
do the most good.
