A HOLIDAY LETTER,

TO Young Men and Women who Thin K.
DEAR FRIENDS:-We want word
with Won. We feel that we are not en-
tire strangers to the young people OF this
community, especially TO those who have
hopes and ambitions for the future. We
want to help you, if you are willing to
help yourselves. We wish to pnt you III
fnll possession of yourselves, and arouse
you to a realization of your own power.
We want the attention of the young
people of this city and vicinity who have
not had, and cannot secure, the advan-
tages of a collegiate or a university
course, but who are anxious to make the
most of themselves, and are willing to
work for that end Especially do we
wish to reach those who have had
but limited advantages in early life.
Those who are backward in literary
studies, and who feel keenly their need
i'll this age of competition, of an every
day education, one that is useful rather
than ornamental. One that they must
have if they would win in life's race.
The learned professions are already full,
and no young man should aspire to
them who has not the time and money to
spend in years of closest study. In the
business world, however, il is different.
Here there is brisk demand for bright,
active, energetic, and wide awake young
men and women, who are thoroughly
qualified to do business. For these the
demand is far beyond the supply. Many
times has it been our pleasure to confer
upon such young men and women the
training which has enabled them to Sc
cure lucrative and pleasant positions, for
hundreds of others, there are still golden
opportunities. The question IS, will you
avail yourselves of themo 1t is our aim
to make this institution peculiarly a
peoples school" We find our most
satisfactory field in helping young men
and women of limited means and ae
quirements to preparation that will fit
them for taking position upon the lad
der that leads to success, In our school,
every effort is made to help our students
to get the most out of the time and mon
ey they are devoting to business training,
In our class rooms we welcome every one
who wishes to make the most of himself.
Our teachers are capable, scholarly and
generously alive to the welfare of their
pupils. Young friends, do you aspire to
develop your powers of usefulness, and
for making your influence felt i'll the
world? Would you be something more
than a mere ''hewer of wood and drawer
of water" for other people? If so, read
this letter again and ask yourself if we
are not right in advising you to enter at
once upon a course of careful business
instruction. If you are near by, come
and see us: if not, write to us. Tell us
your hopes and plans, and we shall be
only too glad to advise and aid you. We
shall be glad to give full particulars of
the splendid work we are doing i'll our
school, courses of instruction terms, etc.
May we not see or hear from you soon;
Since rely yours,

The Great Festival.

Our Jim says that the Christmas Holi-
day will be the next and greatest one OF
the year. 1t is time when all can re
joice with great gladness-t he old and the
young, the rich and the poor. The mani
fold blessing we are receiving from this
great Festival should inspire each and all
to gladness Let the little ones rejoice
give them presents that will cheer their
hearts, and make their coup Of joy run
over" The poor also should not be for
gotten, for they are entitled to our sympa-
thy at all times, and especially at this
coming Festival. You will feel all the
better by bestowing portion OF your
wealth to those who are in need charity
Remember that "lt is more blessed to give
than to receive" Those who act up TO tht
noble injunction will never regret il, ant
they will receive blessing for so doing
1t is the season of merry making in the
true sense of the word, and all who act
upon it will surely be "bl essed in thei
basket and in their store" This is tn,
way to make a happy Christmas.
