CHRISTMAS AND A new YEAR

To many of us, the week of December rs comes much
faster every year than do the other weeks And 1t Is COM
conversation during this to hear the question
asked care you ready Christmas?" The almost unver-
sal answer is "No Pm never ready" Usually this question
and answer is followed with few words about how fast
Christmas and sometimes leads on into a
discussion that those must be growing older be-
seemed like eternity between Christmases
Why does Christmas seem to come more quickly than
the other 81 weeks the year? Primarily quickly
because beings prone put off things that do
have be done right the moment and Christmas
carries with it the obligation to make number OF Pur-
chases for friends and loved We always seem to
until that last moment to get those chores done and
are left with feeling that 81 doing this thing

But the shopping complete, and we feel that we
have done just about all that do to make this
Christmas more enjoyable for everyone let down our
hair Bit From that time until the holiday
son is past we dare say, practically all of have
most pleasant days of the year.
We feel that it noteworthy celebrate this religious
holiday by making enjoyable event Perhaps
don't insert enough humbleness and sacredness into
occasion and perhaps we are bit selfish about Christmas
but largely time of giving time of charity and one
in which we believe God is pleased with his earthly
ton
And following right the very heels of Christmas,
the beginning of new year There's tendency
among us to halt just when January shows
the calendar to think for an instance about what the old
wear held for u.s. and speculate the prospects of tho

be even tragedy On every January since the be-
ginning OF time it safe statement that thing was

Use tina. there will be another January l.
&c. perhaps we have for more humility and more
wholesale recognition of the Heavenly than
before as we go about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ
on this December 25 1852.

activity. The contractors have
promised to complete the structure
within 90 working days but will
make every effort to have it fin

availability of materials seem to
be the only obstacles that could
delay the completion as long as
go working days.
