MERRY CHRISTMAS

e1lnl4 HETHER we shout it
VIV6 or sing it, we must be
sure to mean it; for If
we really mean it when we
say, Merry Christmas, every
body" we viii do all in our
power to make Christmas day
Of unsullied joy for all those
4 within reach of our influence.
Christ came into the world to
bring light which brings JOY. He
came to bring deliverance to
men; to solve theil. difficult
problems; to inspire a higher
hope in the spirit of men. That
is the cause of the deepest joy
to mankind. Yes, Christmas is
joyful day as well as sacred
day.
It is day for doing good
deeds, as well as thinking good
thoughts. It is not day for
receiving gifts only. There are
so many opportunities for doing
4 good, that we may receive joy a
hundredfold, with the expendi-
\ ture of just a little time and
thought. There are many who
have little; many who do not
know the meaning of this day as
you know it; many whose spirits
are crushed by disaster. Re
member them Boys World.

If windows are, washed when the

there is time to polish them, and look
streaky. Always dust windows before
washing them. Add a little ammonia
to the water to make the glass shine
