Dear Junior: Tho beautiful Christ
mas season Is with US again and VIC
know that you all are anxious to do
some little Christmas work. Last
year we started the Christmas Stock
ing club. Many Of you will remem-
Der what a great success 1t was.
Feeling sure that the Juniors wanted
to assist Santa Claus again we sent
him letter two weeks ago and to-
day we have his answer.
You know that If we wish to give
presents at Christmas time and do
not want our friends to know from
whom the gifts come. Santa Claus
will deliver them for US II We, ASK
him. Then again Santa does not al
ways give useful presents, such as
stockings and mittens. Now the
Juniors who wait to Join the Christ
mas Stocking club need not confine
their gifts to stockings or n1ittens,
anything that you all wish to give or
that you all can conveniently give,
will. be acceptable, just so 1t Is given
in that beautiful Christmas spirit
which the little Child Jesus, whose
birthday we will celebrate December
25, wants us all to have. The world
is full of music at Christmas. time, as
it should be and then II ever should
there be that music In the heart, that
kindness and charity without which
one cannot really keep Christmas"
"For how suan we keep the Christmas
tide.
Or cherish it's founders name,
Unless that our hearts be open wide
To His peoples want and shame?"
Let all the Juniors carefully read
our letter to Santa and his answer
and then they will fully understand
the object of the Christmas Stocking
