At this season OF the year We are

We are all affected by the Christmas
coming and there is something in the
vesy air that stirs US and makes US
happy and wish 20 do things. A little
poem runs:
Every day ~ a king birthday
When Love Il born.
And best OF all along lfe's way
The king comes To rest and stay,
When love il born.
Walter q. Doty in Puck.
This is too true and We should all
stop TO consider il and apply IT, Now
with the Christmas spirit p%ervading
the atmosphere We should all try to
celebrate the Kings birthday in n
way or another. With children in the
family it is impossible not to become
imbued with the joys which the com
ing of the Christ child brings. We all
wish TO be children and hang up ou-
stockings and dream Of the days when
Christmas seemed more real to us.

Presently a volunteer novice "tore.
