SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Tomorrow night, FRIDAY, Decem-
Der 81, the Sunday School will hold
their Christmas entertainment, be-
ginning at 7:30 o'clock. Everybody
coming is asked to bring some gift
suitable for a girl or boy. The
reader will, perhaps, have a Happy
Christmas, but think of those poor
girls and boys of our community who
have no happy Christmas, who
only get enough to keep them alive,
and then have nothing to spend on
anything else that might make them
happy. How nice it is for the girls
to have their dolls, the boys their
drums, horns. etc. So If you can al
ford to bring something that will make
someone happy, what a happy Christ
mas it will be for you. Just think,
not only being happy yourself, but
making someone else happy also.
However, IL you have nothing in this
line and you would like to contribute
you will have the oppor-
tunity. Now, finally, IL you have
nothing to give we do not want you
to remain at home. We want you
to be there and enjoy the program as
