in these times would be considered most i'm

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Christmas brings the remembrance
Of gift so great and wonderful that
all who realize what 1t meant to the
world feel the desire to give some
thing in return though 1t may be
nothing more than the expression Of
a wish for merry Christmas. No one
was anxious to receive the gift at
first. People do not always know the
value Of what is given them. The
only door opened to receive 1t. led
into q cattle stable! But now, whose
door does not fly open at Christmas
to send out some blessing. some word
Of good will?
