Christmas, so near at hand, is tn,
birthday OF one who brought to tn,
world the greatest thing in the world
gift OF boundless universal love, That
gift SO freely bestowed turned back
the tide of history and changed the
worlds thought, Perhaps that is why
the thought Of giving is associated
with Christmas, From the very birth
of Christ, the spirit of giving crept in
to the heart Of the world, for the wise
men who followed tine star on that
first Christmas morning brought with
them gifts OF Frankincense and Myrrh.
So 1t Is that at Christmas more than
any other time of the year, comes the
desire to do something for others and
many an act OF loving kindness is due
90 this awakening prompted by gener-
osity and love, The good deed that
counts the most is the one done for the
less fortunate than ones self and the
spirit should continue through each
day Of the year,
