the initial attempt to raise $25, 900

ed in the completion of the present
building at cost of about $125,000.

5000, has all been raised. But you
know that times have been hard and
the wheels of industry have not
turned as rapidly as they should. SO
many who would undoubtedly have

pledges. But, my friends, the glory
of it all is that Notwithstanding the

MAKE CHILDREN
. OF POOR HAPPY
CHRISTMAS EVE

Have you realized what an Ideal
time has been fixed for the poor
children's Christmas celebration at
the Ditmas theatre? 1t Is to be held
Thursday afternoon, December "a,
the day before Christmas. That is
within a few hours OF the very time
that Santa Claus actually arrives,
In fact he must be already on the
way.
AS the little ones file out of the
theatre after the entertainment 1t
will be Christmas eve. The Christ
mas spirit will predominate every
where. People will be doing their
last shopping and all will be hustle
and hustle.
Have you ever paused long enough
during this final squirt to watch some
sallow eyed, puny faced, thinly clad
youngster looking wistfully into a
window fun of toys, or gazing long
ingly after some fur-clad person hur-
rying along with arms full of bum
dies? Perhaps sense OF pity has
touched your heart, as you realized
that the fervor of expectancy OF a
Christmas eve meant nothing to that
little one.
How appropriate it is, then, to
give the poor children their Christ
mas treat at time when Christ
mas is in the air. Going home in
the gathering darkness OF Christmas
eve the little ones OF the poor Will
for once Join the others In realizing
the joys Of carrying bundles OF
Christmas cheer In the shape OF
candy and toys.
1t all depends on the people OF
the city whether these tired, peaked
faces of thinly clad children are to
wear a happy smile on Christmas eve
or not. We sent whole shipload
OF Christmas gifts-6, 100000 of
