pnSents for our friends. We spend

desperation select the most inappro-
pirate and useless thing that can pos
bibiy be found; for in this the gladest,
ErandeSt season OF all the year general
Eifs-giVin9 lever seems TO take posses
Sion of every one. In the midst of this
display of goodwill private anImOSitieS
bHd hatrcdS melt away and men become
brothers. indeed.

tie past week have the people of st.
1aHl selected and bestowed upon their
friends ana relatives the presents they
psght 20 have given, or have they given
tUSe things they ought not to have
EiSCp? On the theory that it's not vet
too late to do the proper thing the

tir needs Of some OF st. Paul'S worthy
cilzens. Let their friends read and
baStir themselves, ere il is too late.
