A WONDERFUL TREE.

Jared with fruitage of infinite variety

OTHER CHRISTMAS DOINGS.
Haiston Is noted for many good things,
VI for nothing more than her kindly,
rnerous people. Not only the churches,
urleties, the ever faithful Salvation Army
la other benevolent organizations, but
uodreds-nay thorsands-of individuals
I'VE helped to bring Joy to the world
IrcDnd them in the happy Christmas time.
Many whose homes are desolate ana
Nose hearts are doubly saddened With
Memories of happy days, have tried to
AVE given of their own poverty to aid
fAers poorer than themselves. One has
asted the prisoners in jail, another has
bthed hundreds of boys another-a soci-
uxoman--has iilied carriage with pres
Dts and driven from house to house
here he friends live, leaving real pleasure
her wake. She and her husband do
nA confine their gifts to their own circle,
hswever. but gave largely to the poor
nd needy. Thus is the great gift of God
10 man commemorated with countless
ITS throughout the earth.
