house where, if the young lady wishes to %
upstairs, she has to be lifted out one win

wonderful tea service that will hold real
things to eatl And the stove in which
you can make a fire. The carpentersi
tools that will saw the legs off of chairs,

A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO GOD ALMIGHTY.
And can you give anything better than
thatE ! want you to get into your heart
the spirit of loving cheer and to make one
soul happy for the day. If every one of
us would do this, there wouldn't be many
unhappy people, And won't you be-
CHEEKY in your words and in your looksl
For after all, you have deal to be glad
about. Think out to whom you can give
pleasure and give it plentifully. Give it
after the measurement of the Good Book,
"Heartfull pressed down, shaken together
and running over" We ought to be gen
erous, you and l, for no matter what we
do, no matter what we give, it will seem
after all so little beside that great gift
that came on the first Christmas day,
And yet what we give is tribute to him
who came into this world to save sinners.
God bless everybody. God give every
body happy Christmas, is the earnest
wish of Bah.
