GIVING CHRISTMAS

The First Presbyterian Church
Sunday School of Seattle makes
Christmas for others. SO do each
of her twenty five branch schools.
In other words, the pupils and their
classes are required to search out all )
who may not have a good Christ
mas and provide one for them.
Weeks in advance the pupils and
the workers are put to work visiting
and ascertaining the conditions of
homes where Santa Claus may not
go unless we make him.
The baskets are then prepared
with everything necessary for a per-
feet Christmas and a bounteous
Christmas dinner. These baskets
are prepared at the church, and the
name Of the family put on each
basket. Then machines are provided,
and with each machine some mem
bers of the class, the school and
Session go to that home on Christ
mas Rye with blessing and the
basket.
The givers of course receive the
greatest blessing
Those homes discovered and thus
visited are visited again after
Christmas and throughout the year
and assisted to their feet in order
that they too may next Christmas
be givers and not receivers. In tn
way we make the giving Christine
an opportunity and blessing throuel
out the year. So can you and yonr

At luncheon as any other meal the
knife is placed on the right side OF
the plate and the forks on the left.
2. Any spoons used are laid beside
the knife on the outside. 3. A wine
class stands directly beside the
water glass on it's left side. 4. The
knife and fork should be laid side
by side across the plate. It Is very
poor form to let them lay separated
on the plate.

most sacred dance. The Sun
Dances of the Shoshone and Arap

that surely it was no worse for u
Indian to hold the rites which WEI

their women took part. and which
meant nothing but newspaper no

, 1923-09-05

serted itself and the dance was
held.
Thirty-fve warriors were initial
ed at sunrise Friday morning and
until Monday at moor these people
danced without food ar water.
The Sun Dance is a continuous
aver to the Sun and to God to
ire the sick.
\ week later the Arapahoes un.
Ttook their Sun Dance. which
sted three days. but is not a con-
nuous performance. Thlrty-two
warriors took part in 1t. The old
people OF the tribe say that 1t is
not for the sick but for the whole
tribe that they pray.
