Oh, Yes-Do It Now

While the advice, "Do your shopping
early for Christmas goods," is good
deal OF a chestnut. life Is full OF that
kind Of fruit and the newspapers ex-
pect to and do hand out just abnut So
much OF it every year and at all times
OF the year. For the human animal
is SO constituted that unless he or she
is reminded OF certain things about
every so often he or she fOrgets them
until the last minute, and then the
angels above weep bitter tears As
they look down upon a maddened mot
trying to do the work OF days In min
utes. Another thing is that people
should have Christian regard for the
people behind the counters. As a
usual thing, a clerk is So exhausted
by overwork by the time Christmas
arrives that he has no ambition to
observe reverently the natal day OF
the One who said, Love thy neigh
Dor as thyself." A little fOrethOught,
blended with small amount OF con-
sideration for others, would change
this state of affairs for the better.

comes to the number OF Instruments
