( Within the limits of prudence pend and give. Few o! us impover- i h ourselves by what we give away. Our extravagances arise from what we spend upon ourselves or from our .peculations, and not from our gifts. Christmus is essentially the time of i ivlng. Thought of others, sharing yourself and your possessions with other., giving joyously, is the Chris tian part of the Christmas spirit. The coming of Christmas reminds us that a full and happy life is not measured by the extent of our ma terial possess iona. The happiest at Christmas arc chil dren and their joy and gayety do not depend upon the richness of their •gifts. The spirit of the home, wheth- ’ er luxurious or poor, makes or mars Ciurage for the future, good will toward men, peace on earth, sober enjoyment of the good things of the earth, generous giving to those close to ue and to those in need, reverence f< r things of the spirit; these are -•ome of the gifts of Christmas which all may hove and share.—Collier’s Weekly. a woman 40 years, a boy 5 years and i baby boy 7 months were found by the officials at the Stevens Pottery, the FARMERS CLUB MET SATURDAY Mrs. Chas.

GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS Give thank*, that Christmus is so close at hand. This year, more than in a long time, we need the hope, the good cheer and the generosity of the Christmas season. We are fortunate in our holidays. Each in its separate way represents the age-old wi-dom of the race. Out of their struggles and their experi ences our fathers set apart certain days as peculiar. Of them all, Christ mas is happiest and most ireful. Christmas is old. Far back in the misty past you have to travel to un cover its origin. Is>ng before Christi anity spread from Palestine the day that became Christmas was cele brated. Christman absorbed and enriched and made something new and infinite ly valuable out of an uncient pagan festival. We are the heirs of that wisdom and that achievement. Christmas fundamentally is the time of renewed hope and of cour age. As the days grew short and dark and the trees lost their leaves and their fruits, men feared for their future. The friendly sun seem ed to move away and the earth be came cold and inhospitable. Thtm observant men perceived a change. After the solstice the sun began its return journey. Men dar ed to feast without fear of future starvation. Ceremonies were in augurated. N'ew fires were lighted to signify the promise of another warm and fruitful year. We per il ive vestiges of *.hii nniccnt rite ia our Chri-tmuH candles. Into the very fibre of ,«ur race the midwinter festival was taken. Christianity could have found no better day with which to celebrate the birth of the Master. For then indeed wa f lighted a new fire which illuminates the world and touches more and more of us with its warmth of lo •; and fellowship and charity. To lee old pagan faith in the re- ne.vi I generosity of the earth was r ' leu the finer doctrine of peace an j good will. The coming of < hrirt madi nun themselves promise better for the future. Human nature has always needed ruvh a recurrent occasion. Use it well this year. 1 ' ,ORe who have experienced hard- sh ps are reminded by Christmas that good times will return. Those who are fortunate are given the oppor tunity to share their comfort and their security with others. To all comes the message of cheer and of courage. We have passed through a time of extravagance. Some of us hoped to biconu rich without effort. Mnny gambled when they might hnve work-! ed.

We have the following from Envoy Edw. P. Sco- vill, officer in charge of the work. The Army’s greatest need in Mil ledgeville at this time is that of a house in which to live .and use to carry on the work here, a place of four, five, six, or seven room* will be very acceptable and not only is th‘s a need, but as fnr a? I see it, it b:ts become a necessity on the whole.
