And her table cloths were a sight to

She wanted scarfs and a towel rack,
And a good plain, useful dressing

Some kitchen spoons and a box for

A pair of scissors and sewing thread.
She hoped some practical friend

And figure out that she'd need a

Or bath room rug or a lacquered

Or few plain plates for every day.
She hoped and hoped and she wished

A china thing for receiving hair,
Some oyster forks, a manicure set
A chatting dish and a cellaret,
A boudoir cap and a drawn-work

the realization of their fondest hopes.
Christmas as we know was built up
around the Birth of Christ to offset
pagan festival, Let not man Or
child among US make this Christmas
pagan festival. 1t will be pagan
festival if we leave The Christ-Child
out of our thoughts. Let us honor
Him on His Natal Day by worshiping
Him in His Holy Temple, and, where
possible, meeting Him Spiritually at
The Altar. Let us remember that the
Spirit of Christmas if the spirit of
giving, whether it be something ma
.erial or that which is far more val
lable-joy, gladness and happiness
Thus, we say Merry Christmas to
all. Christmas is for you-and you
none too young or too old; too rich
or too poor, Christmas is yours if you
have Christ in your heart. God
Rest You, good neighbors!"

membership of the church. The serles
Of services were begun on Sunday,
December 4th, and continued for a
fortnight. 1t was remarkably sue
cessful meeting. and the pastor and
his congregation are entitled to con-
gratulations.
One of the notable things about the
meeting was the fact that the prearh-
ing was done by the pastor Of the
church. Those who >were converted
will thus be permitted to make their
spiritual growth under the same lead
er who pointed out to them the way
of salvation.
While the Rev. Jesse ID. Franks did
all the preaching, he was assisted in
the song service by Mr.. Charles But
Ter, who not only sang a number of
solos, but who also directed the choir.
Mr.. Butler had as his accompanist,
Mr.. Klintworth, an able performer on
the piano. These two gentlemen aid
ed materially in the success of the
meeting, although it was the clear,
forceful, earnest, illuminating SER
mons by Brother Franks that opened
the gates Of heaven to the gaze of
the unconverted.
On Tuesday night, Brother Franks
baptized number Of the converted
