To these people, then, tails the duty of making olh ers a little happier Christmas Day. Many needle.-s gifts will be made to people who won’t appreciate them: the money invested in these could be used to fill a basket of food or buy some clothing for others of our race who do not know where they shall get their next meal. It is not difficult to find a host of people here whose Christmas Day will dawn bleak and dark, who are without even the barest necessities of life. It would take but little to change these unfortunates’ outlook on life and rhat little most of us could supplv with only a very small cost. What will you do?

Regardless of the depression there’s a different kind of feelin" that conies over one and the most grouchy person seems to be saturated with cheer at this time ol the year. The spirit of giving fills the air and though we have not found the "corner where pro sperity is" we can give friendly greeting and give thanks to our MAKER for letting us live to see this Christmas.

"different" program of Chris tinas carols given, as the one at Spelman Sunday night. Nor did it lose an iota of reverence or spirit ual beauty—for where can one find a greater depth of feeling than in those marvelous carols wrung from the sorrows of a down-trodden people? D'world reel but I git in glory. Oh. when I git in glory. Glory be to the new-born Baby.” sang the Negro fishermen as they braved the storms and dangers of the sea in their nerilous calling. And who can say that their voices wee not as sweet or their hearts as rever ent as the Englishmen of the cen turies gone by who sang in more etooio'nt language of "The First Noel." Hoxv many motner-hearts the world over will be singing, in tune tothe bronzed, toil-scarred mother of slavery days, who sang "O Mary, what you goin’ to name that pretty little baby?" And Mary's answer. "Some call him one thing. I think I’ll call Him Jesus." Ir reverent? Ah. no .just the opposite, because the cry came from the pri mitive heart of Motherhood-—that the mother was perhaps rocking lie:' own dusky infant to sleep in a hut on St. Helena Island, perhaps only arguments the color and beauty of the carol.
