CHRISTIANS GREETING
By Mary Margaret Clark

If we only knew the heartaches
OF the many, many poor
We would do with less for Christmas
And peep in the needys door.
Just to see where we might gladden.
And make bright a home or two;
We'd be surprised for we could spare
And never miss things nice and new.
Have you children? If you love them
Here's lesson you can teach:
Tell them of the many poor
Then practice what you preach"
From the bunch of nice new TOYS
Your loved ones could but spare
One or two. They'll never miss them.
Thus others pleasure sure will share.
With dear children and their parents
who don't have enough to spare
To buy gifts that gladden. childhood
But FOOD and clothes they must share.
There is not one human being
But would bless this Christmas time
If he shared with some poor needy
such VIII ne'er forget to pray
That Gods love and fullest blessing
May ever help each one to feel
loosened purse-strings for the poor
VIII richly reward them when. we
To thank God for our many blessings
Ana ask FOR guidance from above
Our hearts will throb. our souls will
feel
\ glad glad Christmas. God is love"
Loving neighbor. dearest friends.
Let us try this Christmas time
For surely each and every one
Can spare some gift or a kindly line
For the rich are often hungry.
Not for gifts that money would give,
But for love and good kind words
That help us all in faith to live
Just get busy. every one,
Time is short. we soon will hear
Christmas carols. Christmas music
Ringing through the wintry air.
Let us all be ready waiting
For joy and hope, to Al again
All our hearts. then feel Gods presence
In Peace on earth, good will TO men,
