bring cheer to those who are not
able to provide sufficient for them
selves. Everyone was especially de-
lighted as the little folk in The Be-
ginners' Department each brought an
orange, or a banana, or an apple,
and deposited it beneath the great
Christmas tree. The stereopticon
was used to show so splendid Christ

given rather than in the gifts receiv-
