The Wonderful Hospitality of the Poor to Each Other these Christmas Days is beautiful to see, when, moved by the spirit of friendliness in the air, they divide their meals with the poorer ones and share with an incoming immigrant their last handfuls of meal, potatoes and bread. If we only had a neighborly world and knew for sure that it was more blessed to give than to receive, what a wonderful Christmas 1920 would be! The unnoticed or perhaps careless wastages of our homes would be gratefully accepted in the little back streets and light up. a dreary, lonely day for some who feel that they have been forgotten. Your priest or pastor or the Church nearby you would gladly be your servant in distributions. Signed Dec. IS, 1020.
