Cod" This means to live a life very
close 10 God. and a very happy life.
The only way TO do this is TO ever
Watch and Pray" Prayer is the
means whereby we get our strength
and our greatest consolation I'm time
Of discouragement I heard a man
who did not profess TO be a Christian
but who tried to lead n good life and
do the right thing by his family say
that at times he was almost ready to
give it up. 1t is an impossible fight
without the aid Of Christ. and some
times it seems very hard with Him.
without the help OF prayer we have
nothing to back us up in our pro-
fession of Christ. This is the way
we renew our zeal in the fight and get
new ammunition for the battle.
A life Of prayer doesn't mean 20 re-
peat q prayer in the morning and an
other i'm the evening. While we should
have morning and evening worship,
and should not neglect It above all
things, our prayer must not stop there.
Whenever we feel the Tempter COM
ing. then is the time TO call on God,
and He win listen to you. When you
see someone else needs help and you
are not in a position to render it, tell
God about it right then and there. and
you may rest assured that your prayer
win be answered. Make God your
boon companion and friend as well as
your God. He viii make an excellent
friend for you can always depend on
Him. and can go TO Him any time for
/ help and comfort
/ A pretty good way 10 live close 10
/ God is to emulate the example OF His
/ Son on earth. When you wonder
whether it would be all right 10 do a
thing. ask yourself what would
/ Jesus do2" If you think He would do
it were He in your position, then you
may go ahead and do II without fear
as to the outcome. You may think you
are stepping I'm a hotbed OF trouble
but God will take care Of you surely
IL you are doing His will. He has
never failed man yet, and it is hardly
likely He will begin with you.
A word as to New Year resolutions
II is a good thing to make good resolu-
tions the first Of the year, If they are
made with the intention of carrying
them out. otherwise they are worse
than valueless. If we make our good
resolutions, and keep them. then IL is
a good thing and then only Too many
make these New Year resolutions with
but little intent TO keep them, making
a mockery Of the custom. This does
much more harm than good. but If we
will decide to do certain things dur.
ing the year, and then do them, why
then they are worth something.

we afford to do without such help when
that help is free?
Dear Lord. we thank Thee for the
new opportunities this year win bring
forth. We thank Thee for the trials
a little too big we think sometimes,
but never too big with Thy help. We
pray Thee to stay with us during this
year and make our lives count for more

pray that Thou wilt bless the cause OF

CENTRAL SCHOOL
ENTERTAINMENT

Central Church Sunday School tried
a new plan at their festival last night
putting into effect the counsel Of their
superintendent emeritus. w. X Crosby,
that 1t was more blessed to give than
to receive After several Christmas
carols by the school and selections by
the orchestra, the scholars sang Merry
Christmas Bells" and to be sure bells
were heard in the distance. The sound
came nearer and at last Santa himself
appeared. He told the school that ne
had come to get presents from them for
some poor people he knew instead Of
bringing presents to the school as he
usually did. Then as he called each
class. a representative came forward
and laid their present at the foot Of the
large, beautifully trimmed Christmas
tree.
Santa Claus for some reason looked
rather startled when he heard people
addressing him as Mr.. Morgan"
Everybody knows that Norris c.. Nor
gan is the organist of Central church,
so there was a mistake somewhere. At
the close Of the roll calling, there was
a plentiful supply Of provisions and
clothing under the tree. Then the in
defatigable Santa called the name of
every member OF the school and gave
him or her a little Christmas Booklet
The evening closed in a very satisfac-
tory manner with ice cream and cake,
In the afternoon the little tots had
"a fine time" and many of them
brought their parents along. Some
Of the exercises given by the primary
and junior departments at the Sun
day anniversary were repeated, among
them the holly-wrsath drill. Miss Beu-
lah Whiteman. Superintendent of the
Kindergarten read them a warning
story Of the little boy who had the
misfortune to be bad at Christmas
time-but it did not apply TO the Cen
tral children who were just as good
as they could be. Candy, ice-cream
and cake were also on the Junior pro-
gram. The lecture room was filed boti
afternoon and evening.

hotel man yesterday. Il had an unusu-

told me that Christmas was to blame.
"It was this way. Lots OF people are
invited out for Christmas dinner. They

houses Of friends. Christmas came on
Saturday and market day was Friday
Many persons did a little marketing or

aged. Gray and MegoncEai devoted al
their time TO repairing the former To-
day they started TO work on the police
reporting system
