In the National Santa Claus associa-
ton which will be a Joy not only to
the children but a benefit also to poor
people everywhere"
For four years Elizabeth Phillips
continued her work. The Santa Claus
association grew with each succeed
Ing year. 1t came to have many as
sistants with q feet Of automobiles
and an army Of givers In the cause Of
Christmas giving. The movement
spread to other cities and thousands
came to know her name and love It.
But the results Of her work, though
great In the estimation Of others,
seemed small to her. And as the re-
suits became greater and the work
increased the goal seemed farther
away than. ever to her. Her work
was halted BY illness. and she was
forced to watch the Christmas Of 1909
draw nearer and nearer without being
able to keep on. Despair took hold
Of her and she ended her life.
But the spirit of Christmas that
animated her did not die with her.
She had done her work too well.
From her inspiration, directly or In.
directly. have sprung the Christmas
givings Of the Christmas clubs. Big
Brother and Good Fellow movements
and Needy Cases campaigns and the
Christmas activities Of municipalities.
community centers. newspapers and
business concerns.
For example: A New York news
paper took up. three years after Eliz-
abeth Phillips death. the task Of sup
plying the Christmas needs Of "tha
hundred neediest." The task, TOO
great for one Individual, one organl.
zation, was distributed among great
body Of those best able to shoulder
1t, just as Elizabeth Phillips aimed to
do. and as the givers increased in
number so did the receivers multiply.
Organized as a clearing house for
the benefit Of all the many charitable
organizations, concentrated as a focal
point for the contributions of all the
many previously unorganized and
aimless givers. the ''needlest" cam
paign began Its career in 1912 with
the Christmas distribution of $500.
Each year 1t spread to greater
breadth.
For such was the success Of this
movement that newspapers In other
cities took up the idea. And such was
their success that still other organi.
cations copied the plan. others and
still others. first in one section, then
IN another. all over the United States.
Philadelphia has similar movements

Denver, San Francisco.
