The holiday times are upon us-the
time whom those more highly iey0red m
tbe Good. of this world begin 20 look about
them To -ee If there il not suffering and
sorrow somewhere that they can reach and
sor little while, at least, relieve. In this
thcv but obey the words of the master and
follow the example of Him "whO went
about doing goOd.n The season should
ALWAYS be a generous one: the most self
f0reetful period of the year. All organi-
cations contribute their efforts IN money
and talent TO aid in the grand work OF the
relief of the needy. and the Church pougS
from is treasury to all forms of public
charity for the same end. and the glyer
always finds the promised blessing 10
those who thus fulfil the divine law.
But it is sad TO think that when all this
has been done there are still some upon
whom the hand of poverty has been lald
who cannot be found by any OF these
alms-giying people.
Now. here in our midst we have a class
who from year TO year have but few bright
spots in their lives from which 70 reckon
time. That these may have at least one
bright day. one hour from which the cares
and troubles that surround them may be
banished. an organization OF charitable
ladies have for several years past given
them a Christmas dinner at Old-Market
Hall Here from l.200 - l,jO0 have had
their wants supplied, the older ones with

bit Of Christmas which has come to them,
and the good ladies have in witnessing he
sight felt amply repaid for all the time and
trouble which the act has given them. This
year the dinner viii be given on Friday at
noon and the ladies who have charge Of
the matter request those who are willing To
help them in this blessed work to send
contributions Of money to Mrs. William H..
