CHRISTMAS
Ought to BE Devoted to the Family
Home.

1 remember as a little boy how We
children looked forward with pleas
ure to Christmas evening. There
was something sacred and devont
over the whole evening. Dear moth
err used to give all of us a bath and
dress us in clean clothes. After a
good Christmas evening meal came
the big event, the Christmas tree.
How we did enjoy 1t. The small pres
ents and holding each other by the
hands, walking around the tree sing
ing Christmas hymns.
Now we are going to have the
Christmas tree in the church Christ
mas evening. That will be coy for
the mother sitting alone at home
with her little baby. while the hus-
band with the rest Of the children
and the hired girl go to church. COM
ing home in the middle OF the night.
A Christmas evening in the family
circle will fasten deeper in the little
hearts. 80

At a regular meeting of the rest
room board ii was voted to publish
with the yearly report a list of the
business men solicited and amounts
given to help support the rest room
the past year. The most expensive
season of the year is upon us, so
those business men whose names are
not on the list are kindly asked to
help when solicited in the new year.
The rest room hours are from 10
a. m. to S D.. m. each week day. A
matron is always in attendance. Mrs.
Sarah Noble has most a~cceptably fill
ed this position during the winters,
using her time as will most serve
the patrons and making numberless
articles which are sold at a small
price to grateful mothers. The Wis
itors are women and children who
i are in the city between trains or from
l the country and neighboring towns,
in for treatment, business, pleasure
II or necessity and many city shoppers
/ all find a comfortable waiting room.
| Pleasant days and Saturdays the rest
/ room is a veritable panorama OF live
l pictures, often so crowded there is
/ hardly standing room. A rummage
| room is connected with the rest
| room, where almost everything is
| found to meet the needs of its num-
| erous patrons. There is always a call
for cast off shoes, stockings, %rubbers,
| coats, skirts and underwear. The
wants supplied and appreciation
shown by patrons and visitors prove
| the necessity of a rest room. The
board thanks those who have so sub
| stantially aided in its support by
money or articles for the rummage
sales or otherwise and respectfully
asks for continued cooperation. 1t is
hoped plans may be developed to
make the rest room more forceful in
meeting the demands of a progressive
city.
