Laughter and shouts of joy
| liiiiy be heard evci.v wheie.
The old man and the old wo-
man are young again and they
I look for presents just the same
they say they don't but we kiovv
(they do. They have a right to
do so- trod bless tin* old folks.
I This woulil he a foolish and
sorrowful world if there were no
j old folks here- Let the young
tolks not forget the old folks
Now as we enjoy the blessings
j of this ('hristmas season let us
| not forget wlmt it means to us-
| Oh, what a dark day it noiiil
be if we knew there wei'c to be
no more ('hristmas days. But
thunk God as h ug as Christ lives
we will have a ('hristmas. i
would like to whisper this to
each In art. W hen yon o to

your eyes and think of what
Hus all means, why this < luysl-
iiins time* Think of a time when
tljcgc was no ( hrisfuias da.v.Tlien
think of a babe in a manger. No
room n the inn for the yo ng
Christ, no place in thronged
and tired city- Then ask your-
self this question: Have I made
room for .lesus in my heart? As
tar as I am concerned dot's lie
still live in the manger’ Is my
heart and life so crowded with
the world and business that 1
have kept the .Master out of
my heart and life? Please ic-
metnber this one thing, No Christ
no Christmas day* If you will
answer these qiicstioiN rightly i
believe many hearts will hear
the sweet song the angels sung:
"Pea......ll earth, good will to
ini'll'”
O 1 wish to urge every
thoughtless and wayward man
to live the day pure. So many
fellows think that they must get
a little “tipsy” during Christ-
mas time. If I were going to
get drunk, I would rather wait
till my precious mother says good
bye and as she lies cold in death,
drink and get drunk, than to
diooe the day when we celebrate
the birth of .Jesus our Christ,
Oh, I pray you Hive pure during
this sacred season.
“Unto you a Child is horn, un-
to you a Son is given.

body a glorious and happy Christ-
