| In part as follows:
Once more the happy aYuietide is at
hand with greetings Of JOY and glad
ness.
The Woman's Relief Corps should
| remember this as the season Of good
will and Of gift giving not only to
those of our own household and to
our friends, but to the needy and help
less, and to the stranger within our
gates, who in the past offered his life
that we might enjoy the freedom of
to-day. Let each little token bear with
it some word of good cheer that shall
be as a ray of sunshine to some SORROW
ing one, for Outlines it is the CHEEKY
smile and pleasant word that is most
needed, and all can be generous with
these. .
Then the long Winter evenings which
will follow are especially suited to the
open meeting and campfire. and as we
encourage and promote these gather
iEgs of Post and Corps. let us by a
strict adherence to that text which
teaches us to do unto others as we
would that others do unto u.s. bring
about that spirit Of harmony which
shall make our Christmas holiday the
forecast Of a jubilee Of social and pa
triotic festivity, reviving and renewing
the bonds of Fraternity, Charity and
Loyalty, which unite the Grand Army
OF the Republic and the Woman's Re-
lief Corps.
Attention is called to decision Of Ma
tional Convention that special effort be
made by each Corps to contribute an
amount equal to five cents per member
toward the erection Of the proposed
monument to loyal women at Chatta-
nOoga Park, Tenn. This is for worthy
purpose and should not be neglected.
All inquiries for patriotic literature,
including leaflets, flag drills, etc, should
be addressed to the National Patriotic
Instructor, Eliza J. Crisier. Greensburg.
Ind, whose circular letter will be issued
very SOON This branch Of our work is
one Of great Importance. and We hope
in the year before us to advance the
work so ably begun and admirably car
ried on by our predecessors. 1t Is also
our wish to cooperate with the Grand
Army Of the Republic along this line in
all that pertains to the building up Of
good citizenship, which is but another
name for patriotism.
