mas for every boy and girl in Rich

the heart of every child in Richmond:
rich and poor, sick and health, enjoy
some of the pleasures which gave joy
to our youthful years, and to en-
courage them to sing with thanksgiv-

strains,
Silent night! holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly host sing Alleluia.

Joy to the world!
The Lord has come;
Let earth receive Her king;

Joy 10 the WorId!
The Lord has come;
Let earth receive Her king;
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing.
On Christmas day thousands of chill
dren will join their voices with the
angels chorus to give praise and honor
to the new born King in Bethlehem
crib.
In their hearts will glow happi.
ness such as no adult feels and nc
poet has yet been able to describe
And in the heart of every man and
woman watching the full-orbed joy OF
youth, will be confirmed the convict
ion that on this Day sorrow, disap-
pointment and regret must be Danish
ed from the heart Of every boy and
girl in the world.
Some Are More Fortunate.
And yet, not every child of the thou
sands in Richmond will sing with free
abandon and childish glee on Christ
mas day. Many boy or girl, seeing
how fortunate is his playmate next
door, will wonder why Santa Claus
passed him by, why he left toys at
Billy's home and overlooked him en-
tirely, or left only small gift.
Shall one child in Richmond exper-
fence such grief this year? Shall the
heart of one of them be sad? Shall
thousands Of us. with selfish hearts
and unconcerned minds, turn deaf
