 While very sorry a number ots our mem oers are laid up by sickness we still are glad 1t does not prevent them from writing uncommonly good letters to The Social Corner Lest we hope the afflicted ones catch a glimpse of the silver lin1ng' that is in every c1oud' in the sympathy expressed for them, by so many, and l am certain felt for them by all

REASONABLE THOUGHTS FROM
 FAYE VERNA

My dear Sisters in the Social Cor ner:-What a busy time of the year this is for the most of us housewives and mothers; and, yet, I believe that most of US are thankful to be able to give a little of our time and strength to help make others happy at Christ mas time.
 I am making a number of Christ mas gifts and find good use for every mOR1ent of my time: but l want to come into The Corner long. enough t. say Good-morning to all the Sisters, that they may know l have not for gotten one of them in the holiday rush
 My Christmas shopping is about done. You see I followed the advice avoid the rush and l am hurrying now with my work that l may also post early and thus have mercy on the postman.
 Let us be careful lest in our efforts to do for others we ourselves be- of the holiday season. Perhaps more work is already started than can be easily finished by, Christmas tina. Then put it away and let it be a re- hinder to begin earlier another year, substituting more simple gift that in its preparation.
 There has been much said about handmade gifts so that where one has the time many pretty and useful gifts can be made with small eX- penditure of money.
 For the encouragement of the Sis ters who may not have the time or skill to make these fancy articles L would remind you that some of your friends who are obliged to subsist en- tirely on bakery food will appre- ciate a loaf of home made bread nice pie or fancy cake. Some friend with a sweet tooth will appreciate a dainty box of home made candies, This will make a change from doing so much needlework and will convey just as much love from the giver.
 If a Christmas gift does not convey the love of the giver. it loses half it's charm, and neither the giver nor the receiver are made happy by it.
 Do not let us in our Christmas work and play lose sight for one moment of the real purpose of Christmas. Let us endeavor to spread the spirit of Christ mas and a knowledge of the founder of the Christmas season which is Christ our King. Let us also accept his Christmas gifts of love, pardon, peace and joy.
 With best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
 FAYE yERNA.

A TIMELY WORD FROM AUNT
 ESTHER.

Editor of Social Corner: I do not wish to crowd anyone but would like to come into the Social Corner and add my mite once in a while just to show my appreciation of the interest ing letters and of The Bulletin as whole, as I have been an interested reader for more than forty years.
 Frank of Moosup in her last letter says we can make our work seem easier and lighter if we will sing or have pleasant thoughts, while thus busy. 1 know this IS very true from my own experience. If we look OH the bright side of life and seek for the good there is in everyone we come in contact with. we will be much happier than if we look for the unpleasant side that will come to everyone. A cheerful spirit is a beautifier and preventive of wrinkles and premature old age.
 Crimson Rambler: Your words in your last letter are very true, that there is more real Christmas spirit in a kind and thoughtful act than in many expensive gifts. How many during the past few weeks have been so busy preparing Christmas gifts that they have so tired their eyes and fn- gers and robbed their brain and nerves of needed rest and become ner- vous and cross. all to make an extra nice gift to someone who did not need it near as much as the inmates of hec home circle needed the cEeery, loving smile and kind attention that the busy mother or sister was too tired and ner- vous to give.
 Oh may we have the true Christ mas spirit instead of trying to outd someone else by giving nicer gift than they did.
 If there is room for me, will write again.

A BUSTER FOR FURNITURE.

Dear Sisters of Social Corner:- Did you ever use a rag dampened with sweet oil and turpentine, parts oil to l part turpentine for dusting. If not try it instead of scattering the dust from one piece of furniture to another to be all wiped or brushed off again. The oiled rag holds the dust and leaves a beautiful polish on wood

Burleson of the Episcopal cathedral
and Rev. 0. e. MeCracken, took hold

not much money in sight, but they got
along in fairly good shape, and there
was some talk in regard to the earlier
days in the work.
Governor Hanna was present and
talked Of the necessity which was
everywhere apparent for organized
charity work and he told of matters
that had come under his present OBJ
servation and believed that such work
should always be continued. Rev. r.
