Milton Letter

We are approaching another an
niversary of the birth of the Christ
child-the greatest gift of God to
man. Let us not forget the poor in
our community, especially the chill
dren. Milton is fortunate in that
there are so few destotute folk in
our community, but we have some.
While it is true that this is brought
about, in some cases, by plain lazi-
ness upon the part of parents, we
must not let this Christmas time
pass by without making these chill
dren happy. They are innocent, help
less and so placed that very few
necessities of life are given them
and no luxuries. At this season 1t
would be pleasing to the Master II
those in better environments would
remember the poor children with
warm clothing, good dinner ana
some play toy. Giving to such is lay
ing up treasures with the Master
against that day when we shall be
rewarded, not for the wealth accu-
mulated here, but according 10 our
account in the bank OF Heaven N
asmuch as We have done it unto the
least of these, my brethren, ye nave
done it unto me-" A.
Cus Pride. near Milton, on Mon-
day killed a hog that weighed 4Vv
mounds. It was just ten montns Olu
showing a gain of more tnan d
Mound each day of its life.
