To Christ, our King.
NJ. A. Patch.

Christmas Day has passed again,
bringing good cheer and gladness TO
the hearts Of many. We are most
-ateful to our friends. who helped us
to scatter sunshine In homes
Santa Claus would not have found
It was our privilege to do a great
Christmas work, over two hundred
dollars was expended in filling bas-
kets, in clothing and in remembering
children and shutins. Two hundred
Christmas cards, ice cream. fruit and
candies, were sent TO our local insti-
tutions
We wish to thank the friends who
sent us a suit of clothes for the man
for whom We asked In our paper on
Saturday. We cannot show our ap-
preciation sufficiently for the prompt
ness with which our appeals are an
swered, but feel that those who give
are amply repaid, for god cheer is
catching, as is happiness, good spirits,
melancholy or disease. Which would
you rather spread?
During this Christmas season let
US make anew some good resolutions,
especially let us pray for grace 10
forgive We must forgive even
though we are not asked to do so.
Do you remember the loving spirit of
Him whose birthday We have Just
celebrated, who, when dying asked
God to forgive those who wounded
Him, even though they were unrepent-
ant and did not seek forgiveness? d?
They did not know what they were
doing. No one who is unkind knows
what he is doing; he is blinded by
something outside Of love and cannot
see the sun of righteousness. ! for
give You owe yourself forgiveness,
as much as you owe 1t to another. In
remembering your transgressions you
are less able to do your best work in
the present and the future. Come up
and out of It and accept the forgive
ness of God. and forgive all and
every one and start the New Year
with a fresh, clean page. "And lead
us not into temptation" I'm order
words. guard us that he do not go into
the way of temptation. The answer
to this prayer depends on ourselves.
for God never leaves us without our
] guardian angels, thought oft we stray
from their side, always. He stands
-eady to deliver us from evil, since He
is Good. To Him be all the praise. His
is the power not ours. and with such
power TO guide us We need not fear.
The work Of our Society is not
alone to give aid to those who require
physical help, but we would give the
more important, spiritual comfort
and hope. oh, the Joy Of knowing He
cares. 10, am with you always, even
unto the end of the world"
Our happiness depends upon what
we look at. Why not then look for
the beautiful in everybody and every
thing? Why not form the habit OF
speaking only of the good? This is
not only philosophy. but good Chris
tianity. Jesus said Il came that your
Joy might be full" If this means
anything 1t means that we should be
joyous We cannot be the true dis
ciple, nor indeed can we know any
thing about the Christ If we are
gloomy, respondent, unhappy. Let US
throw it off once for all. Let us
breathe the pure, sweet air Of spirit
ual life and live in the sunshine Of
the spiritual sun, the love within us.
Then will our whole world be new,
beautiful, and we shall have the
abundant life which is full of Joy and
peace May this peace and iov abide

THE COLONEL
BY John NJ. DOrney.

Down where peaches and apples grow,
Down where an historic river doth
flow,
Liveth a man whom all do know
The Colonel.
His house is an inn, a place of rest,
And weary travellers from east TO west
Smile with JOY as they get the best

The Colonel murmured a gentle song
Nor day nor night is ever long
To the Colonel.
