The Greatest Gift.

Christmas stands for one thing-our
Fathers wondrous love TO us. his
erring and unworthy children, In send
ing his only begotten Son into this
world to die for our sins and TO rise
again to be our Deliverer each day
from sin and seldshness.
Jesus Christ himself Is the great
Christmas gift The only true way TO
keep Christmas is by first Of all &C
cepting for ourselves this wondrous
Gift OF our Heavenly Father and then
- show our appreciation OF this won
druus gift by giving ourselves and all
that we have for others.
Ii is true instinct that leads Us 10
give 10 others Christmas presents. but
too often In following out this instinct
we give these Christmas gifts 10 the
wrong persons. We give to those who
already have too much and forget those
who have not enough.
God gave his great gift to the needy.
to those who had nothing To return for
his gift. Let us follow him. Let us
find the needy and give to them out
OF our abundance. Every one who Is
I'm comfortable circumstances should
find some family that is really In need.
some family where there will be little
Christmas brightness unless others
come 10 their help and give to this
family real Christmas. including a
good Christmas dinner and some appro-
pirate gift to every member OF the
family down to the youngest child.
Don't do IL through some society.
What Is most needed Is living and sym
pathetic personal contact between rich
and poor. Do this aud you will have

Women did not shrink from engag-

ported goods to France, Spain and 9TH

sell Of Coventry, is mentioned In no
less than three different existing docu-
ments. Her business must have heen
on q fairly large scale, for she was
robbed Of merchandise worth S4. 600
by some men of Santander, in Spain.
In order to recoup herself for her
losses she obtained letters of marque
that empowered her to seize the goods
belonging to countrymen of the offend

Margery apparently took more than
was due her, for two Spanish mer-
chants lodged complaints against her.
She was ordered to restore both ships,
