important calls come to them to
make Perth Amboy a happier place
in which TO live, they will not be
unmindful. They viii have the COM
munity conscience Weakened and
somewhat trained for service and
minds opened to the needs of their
neighbors. Grownups do not change
much-the hope of any community
lies in its children. That is why
this bit of work is SO valuable. This
Christmas work is being financed by
the same group of friends who have
financed other Christmas parties
and so the circle spreads its happy
influence.
II is estimated that some three
thousand children and few grown
ups have had a hand in this one
thing Of making a gift for every
child i'm kindergarten. Such service
is a gift twice blessed-it blesses
those who serve and those who are
served and the group Of teachers
who have carried out this work arc
indeed to he congratulated. They
have seized and used a great oppor'
tunity.
