Christmas stands for love and for
charity, for hope and for Joy at the
| fruition of that long-made promise OF
the prophet of the coming of one who
should brin gpeace and good will to
earth; so the churches hold their SER
vices and the people congregate to
join in singing or to listen to the rem
dition of carols, some of which have
come down from the early ages of the
church. The children have their
Christmas treats, and they are the
very merriest of the merry in their
participation of these annual schoos
festivals.
