I Christmas tide, a second tree
stands straight and tall. 1t is the
Friendly tree with it's branches
showered with gifts for the Inner
City Protestant Parish. The pur-
pose of this Friendly tree is to
strengthen the Protestant Church
in the over-crowded and deterior-
ating areas of Cleveland, deserted
by many churches despite a popu-
lation growth. It's primary objec-
tive is that people might become
Christians through united
Protestant Belief, the Parish board
points out.
The children will bring their
gifts on Sunday, December 22nd
at 400 p. m. Gifts such as tooth
brushes and toothpaste, combs,
soap, coloring books, crayons, new
or still good toys.
Early that evening the gifts will
be boxed and taken to the mission
center.

With stripes of scarlet gold;
