Te Observe Christmas as
Only a Ferm of Habit
touching only the pocket nerve, at this
particular time of the year, is te lese
sight of the sky lines that led the wise
men te the thought of gifts and te the
bringing of them in person te the little
Babe in the barn.
Te make a real happyfying Christmas
for any one there must
Be a Christmas Heart
somewhere near.
A very little thing from one man te
another or from one woman te another,
that shows the feelingef the giver, means
mere te the recipient than can be put in
words.
Our Stere, se roomy and comfortable
and full of pleasures, seems te be trying
te show
A Christmas Heart
by the stars bright red shining through
the green trellis work of the Grand
Court, and the mighty organ every
morning floods the big building with
Christmas music.
These are days of enthusiasm and joy
te the young and old, both being welcome.
