joy it was to peep in at the parish house last Wednesday afternoon for slimpse of glistening tree lighted with Christmas candles. and at 3S pairs or brown and blue and gray eyes shining with the Christmas happiness of the children whG attend the free kindergar- ten of the Church of the Advent.
 Every little pair of arms filled with useful gift, and toy, and with bright colored fat stocking bulging with goodies over which the children were Oh! Oh- Ching! while the girls of All-Saints suild were flying around like young fairy godmothers, or pretty Christmas angels that had just come down from the top of the Christmas tree to make these babies happy.
 FOUR-FOLD LIFE
 It seems that the girls of All-Saints guild were born to make everybody happy with whom they come in contact
 Haven't you heard about the things they do?" inquired Mrs Ned McDavid Upon receiving a reply in the negative, she warned: Well, you've missed some thing splendid then, and I just want you to go to one of their meetings and listen awhile" I went, l saw and I was im- pressed with the beautiful spirit of the 30 young girls, members of All-Salnts guild who are cultivating the ideals ot the four-fold life-social, physical, men tai and spiritual-that they may be fully equipped for the highest service to others.
 The director of All-Saints guild Mrs Florence Tarrant-by the way, the giris adore her-was entering into the plans the members had made for Christmas like "a sure-enough big sister. and all the little 'teen-age sisters were volunteerlnS service for church decorations, TOT the Christmas carols and for the care nec- essary to make the parish house bright and comfy for the Christmas parties
 COMMUNITY SERVICE
 Though Christmas parties come put once year, the Ali-Saints girls are busy all the year with special committees for hospital work, for Northside Community house and other lines of community service They meet every Saturday The only objection to this time, as one bright girl expressed it. is That Saturdays are so far apart
 Miss Mary Privett, the girl with the golden heart, is president of All-Saints guild, and her efficient co-workers on the executive committee are Miss Dove Whitfield, vice president; Miss Norma

Warsaw, December 18.--Camels hauling long trains of small carts are frequently seen in the streets of Warsaw, one sol . dier acting as driver, with other sol diers looking after the vehicles. The camels are used by the army authorities

The Joy lthat Christmas week brings is in think ling of others.
 This was the spirit of the programme that was carried out at the Third 'rts- Ibyterian church. where the santa Ciaus lman is pastor. This was the spirit or the service on Christmas Day, when lie lpreached on the birth of Christ and en Christmas night, when an old-fashloned tree was filled with gifts for the Mer- lcy Home children and the Presbyterian lorphanage at Talladega. The offerinSs 1 of today's service will also be directed
 to the orphanage, and the sermon Will be on the Christmas spirit.
