Nothing would be more appropriate at the Christmastide, when the hearts of men should radiate peace and good will, than to look around and find out who of your neighbors are in need then bless them by providing some of the things they lack to makej their lives at least comfortable. With the misery and suffering that is being endured by millions of poor people in Europe, who cannot change their condition, it would truly be a reproach upon we of this goodly land if any in our midst have, to suffer. Let. us all remember that it is far better to give than to receive and Christmas will be all. the more: merry if we have, ourselves helped Jo make it merry for some one in need.
