Miss Erskine, who had charge of the rally, announced the donations made by the Spelman College faculty, Mr. Davis and workers and by High School boarding stu dents, while Thomasine Duckett and Bernice Smith announced the contributions of the V.

Her guests were graciously received and set at ease in her homelike living room. After a short exchange of intimacies the guests were ush ered into the dining room where a variety of sandwiches, cakes, and excellent tea awaited them. After refreshments a radio entertainment followed. Every guest ex pressed pleasure to her hostess for the en joyable affair. Sunday School Activities Air. Jenkins’ class, instead of the regular lesson, had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving program superintended by Aliss Ruth Cor- rithers. We wish that we might have en joyed it with them. On the third of December, Air. Bullock took some of the members of his class for a, visit to a rural church about thirty miles from Spelman. After the service, they were served dinner at the church. A if limit a doubt, this was a very welcome experience in spite of the rain. Airs. Willis and her class are planning for a delightful Christmas party for about sixteen little children of the city who would have no Christmas otherwise. Aliss Pearlie Reed has promised the use ot the Nursery School play room. She will also leave the children’s tree with the decorations on. One of our good friends has promised five pounds of hard candy for the children. Dolls are being dressed and each member of the class has the name of one child to whom she will play the part of Santa Claus. If all the plans work out, it is hoped that the children will have a very happy time. It most certainly is a pleasure to those who are making the attempt to bring joy and gladness to the children on ( hrist- nias Day.

Getting The Christmas Spirit (Continued from Page 1) pie make a. list of persons to whom they these respective recipients to return gifts are to make gifts based upon the ability of in kind. Tn this respect, Christmas presents are frequently used as a means of com pensating for a kindness done or a medium of soliciting favors by persons in high places or in high social positions. This is still widely practiced and is, in very large part, the custom of people of all classes. Today, the more ideal method of portray ing the Christmas Spirit is the custom of giving to the poor and less advantaged, toys and baskets of food, and of decorating Christmas trees, singing carols and other wise reminding the community at large of the real mission of the Christ Child. While it is not so obvious, there are still a great many people actuated by the spirit of giv ing, not as a matter of the medium of ex change with the hope of receiving in kind, but with the desire to bring cheer and sun- shim*, hope and peace, and goodwill to the multitude of those who would other wise be neglected because they have no social position, or financial prestige. Christ, whose birthday anniversary wo celebrate, commands that we love one an other, as He has loved us. It we have the Christmas Spirit we will help and gladden each other, not harm nor cheat each other. A man and woman waiting in an elevator were talking when a second woman entered.
