Many have already given to zid those laid low by hard times: vet there are few who cann: t spare a little more and there are some who have as vel oivon nothing at all. To these people, then, falls the duty of making oth ers a little happier Christmas Day. Many needless gifts will l-2 made to people who won't appreciate them: the money invested in these could be used to fill & basket of tood 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 that little most of us could supply with only a very small cost. What will you do? Will you make this a real Christ mas for the many who need or will you spend it all to ap pease your vanity by giving to friends who could afford to do without ?

The Negro today in the South is never safe from an at tack by prejudice-crazed Caucas ians. Nobody white or black knows when he will fall a viectim of a bandit's gun. Killing has been speeded up with and new forms invented; it takes less skill to slay with a gun P.on with a spear and the murder er may stop perhaps a mile or more away from his victim. Auto, train and airplane deaths take t h o places of attacks by wild animals.

Spelman College, on Sun day evening, was one of the high lights of a season replete with - music of the highest order. All ov er: the couniry, in almost every church and chapel in the land, students and worshippers of the infant Jesus had gathered on this Sunday, to sing His praises and to tell the story of the miraculous birth. But at perhaps no other chapel in the country was the uni que, “different” program of Chris tmas carols given, as the one at Spelman Sunday night. Nor did 1t lose an iota of reverence or spirit ual beauty-—for where can one find a greater depth of feeling ihan in those marvelous carols wrung from the sorrows of a down-trodden peonle? “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 théy braved the storms and dangers of the sea in their nerilous calling. And who can say that their voices were not as sweet or their hearts as rever ent as the Englishmen of the cen turies gone by who sang in more elocvent language of “The First Noel." How many mother-hearts the world over will be singing, in tune tothe bronzed, toil-scarred mother of slavery days, WwWhe sang O Mary., what you goin’ to name that pretty little baby?!' And Mary's answer, ‘Some call him one thing, I think Tl ecall Him Jesus® Ir reverent? Ah, no .just the opposite, because the ery came from the pri mitive heart of Motherhood-—that the mother was perhaps rocking her own dusky infant to sleep in a hut on St. Helena Island, perhaps only arguments the color and beauty of the carol. The old French "Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabelle,” the "14th cen tury. chorale.

Don't you expect a man to be grouchy when he knows he is to be a cripple the balance of his life and the state or city has fmade no pro “sions to keep him from beggin on the streets.
