giles the Good Fellows I'LL their
stockings, which by chance were
Christmas gifts from the city mis-
sion. The Campfire girls in 'accord-
Ianue with the reiuvenated Christ
mas spirit are seeking to revive an
lold beautiful custom. Here 1t Is:
"On christmas eve a candle light,
ITO Shine abroad through Christmas
night,
That those who pass may see 1t
glow,
Ana walk with Christ . mile or 80"
OLD, very old, in England is The
custom Of setting lighted candles IN
the windows on Christmas eve to
give hdliday greeting to the passDr-
by, but little use has been made OIL
this charming idea In our country
We ask the people Of Abilene IN
ltry this beautiful custom Of placing
LIGHTED candles in the windows ON
Christmas eve. Think what pleasure
It will give the passerby to see the
small candles light wishing him
ioy and love. This plan has been
tried successfully in other cities
