A GIFT
SUGGESTION

The greatest Christmas gift
Of all is free. It's yours for the
taking. In fact, you will have
missed the purpose, the beauty,
and the Joy of Christmas, m-
less you DO take it.
For God so loved the world
that He gaze His only begotten
Son.. that whosoever believeth
In Him should not perish but
have everlasting life"
Christmas is the anniversary
Of Gods greatest gift to man.
To a world that was lost in sin
He gave His Son. And He gave
Him for definite purpose.
This is a faithful saying, and
worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners"
II this Christmas finds you a
penitent sinner who rejoices
over the unspeakable gift of
full and free salvation which
came to all men through the
birth, life, death, and resurrec-
ton Of the Son of God-yours
Is going to be a happy Christ
mas indeed.

a Real Hit
BY AnseImo Kruger

(KNS) 49, Boston sometimes
hears the word Mud-Kicker; but
few really know the meaning of
this expression. If you really
want to know what is meant 90
and see Anna Lucasta at the
Plymouth Theatre. There you
will see as fine an enacted play
as has reached this city in many
a day. This is not a play for
the youth of the city, but one
for groWn-ups; and while it is a
sordid play about a street-walk-
er who kicks up mud as she
walks, thereby getting the name
of mud-kicker, and her troubles,
