A CHRISTMAS SONG.
At the break of Christmas day.
Thru the frosty starlight ringing.
Faint and sweet and far away
Comes the sound of children, sing
ing,
Chanting, singing.
"Cease to mourn.
For Christ Is born.
Peace and joy to all men bringing!”
Careless that the chill winds blow,
Growing stronger, sweeter, dearer,
Noiseless footfalls in the snow
Bring the happy voices nearer.
Hear them singing,
"Winter's drear.
But Christ Is here.
Mirth and gladness with Him bring
ing!”
“Merry Christmas!" hear them say,
As the East Is growing lighter,
"May the Joy of Christmas day
Make your whole year gladder,
brighter!"
Join their singing,
"To each home
Our Christ has come.
All Love's treasures with Him bring
ing!”
—Margaret Delnnd.

fjrfetmag
O N this one day we all realize that there is something better than mere cold
business—something more inspiring than the pursuit of dollars—in this
good old world, after all. The Christmas spirit which is abroad in the land is
everywhere softening the hardest natures today, and carrying that feeling of peace
good will And good wishes that make all mankind kin.
In the spirit of the day it is fitting for the Kress Stores to proffer to their hosts of
friends sincere good wishes and earnest appreciation of their hearty suppbrt and con
tinued patronage.
Merry Christmas 1
And may the New Year bring to you every possible joy and good cheer with
many happy Yuletide seasons yet to come.
May that Christmas Spirit so heartfelt and soul-warming be with you the daylong
and may you feel that blessedly human inspiration so well summed up by Charles
Uickens liny Tim in the words: “God bless everybody!”
A Merry Xmas to All! We
wish to thank our many
friends for their liberal pat
ronage for the most pros-'
perous year in the history
of our business.
