Santa Will Not Forget
Is Little Boys at Y.M.C.A.

Is Little Boys at Y.M.C.A.
Juniors will surely be glad to
know that there are a lot Of Big
Brothers who live in the "Y" dor
mitory. brothers who are fond Of
little chaps and who love to make
them happy. They want to help a
lot of little fellows who are to be
chosen by the Social Service bu-
reau to have goo time and to re-
ceive gifts from Santa Claus, no
matter how busy Santa may be on
Christmas eve, which Is the great
est children's night in all the year.
So, then, to be sure that these
boys may not be missed by Santa,
in the great rush of Christmas eve,
Mr.. VIM. Friede, who lives at the
Y. NJ. C. A., has engaged Santa to
be at the "Y" at $50 next Mon
day evening. w. H. Allen, l. w.
Coffin and August Wagner will
meet all the youngsters who are
present and will tell Santa just
what presents the boys want from
the big tree, and will also arrange
a lot of games for the boys to play,
SO that they may have the best
time possible.
OF course the Big Brothers may
not know all the BOYS who are 70
come to this Christmas party, but
a lot of nice ladies who 40 Know
every one of them are to bring the
little fellows, just at the right
time, so that they may not miss
thing on the program for the even
ing. The Big Brothers met at the
"Y" on Friday night, nearly fifty
of them, and after the supper they
sat around the tables and talked
about making children happy at
Christmas time. and all the time,
whenever they could. The Juniors
know that there are some little
boys who do not have so many gifts
as other boys do, an there are
many little girls, too. whose let
tiers do not reach Santa Claus in
time to be answered with the pres
ents they so much wish for. OF
course we all hope that every little
boy and every little girl win be re-
membered this year and that each
may get just what they want in
their stockings or from the Christ
mas tree on Christmas morning.
We ehave no doubt that the kind
ladies who are to take the boys to
see Santa at the "Y" on next Mon
day evening, will also see to it
that all the little girls are remem-
bered with gifts on Christmas. be-
cause they want to see each of
them happy.
The Bible tells us that it is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. And that is true. We are
always the happier for making
others happy; for giving to those
who need; for being kind and
and generous, not only
at Christmas, but on every day in
the year.
We are sure that all the Big
Brothers at the "Y" are happy over
their plans for Monday evening, and
will enjoy every minute of the gift
giving and playtime with their
young friends who are to meet
Santa, who will also be happy to
see them. The Christmas spirit
IS one of love, of hope and of hap
piness, and it should be our great
est pleasure to share our gifts and
happiness with those who are less
happy and fortunate than ourselves.
We hope that every Junior will do
Ill that he or she can to ma Ike every
poor little boy and girl happy ON
Christmas day, if they happen to
know any that live in homes at
which Santa may forget to leave
presents from his wonderful pack.
