house. We don't owe cent on
it any more" the treasurer re-
Ported with a pleased expression.
The thirteen women in the
group at Christ Episcopal Church
here decided last November to
have a bazaar in November 1861.
With the help of other women
n the church, much determine
ton and hard work, they cleared
enough to pay off the remaining
note of $494 ard interest.
A note for $1,000 was made by
the vestry when oil heat and
asbestos siding were added to
the house. This was gradually
reduced until only the $494 was
left when the women decided to
do something about it. Some
money in a memorial fund given

ing a parish house was used
by the vestry to help reduce
the debt.

This little dog is confused. Many Of us
arc in the same dilemma What is Christmas
anyway? What does it mean? Do the tnsel and
decorations obscure the true meaning?
Christmas decorations, Christmas trees, Christ
gifts have their part in this greatest day of
all the year, but back Of them is the manager and
the Christ Child, Gods gift to mankind
IN the Church you will find the true spirit Of
Christmas in all its Joy, beauty and sacredness.
The Wise Men will become SO real you will follow
the star with them. With the shepherds on the
Judean hillside you will hear the song Of angels.
You will go to Bethlehem where you will kneel
before the King Kneeling, you will find the true
meaning of Christmas
