\Ladies of Good Shepherd to Give
Afternoon Tea
The ladies of the Church of the
Good Shepherd, wishing to extend a
cordial welcome to all visiting ladies
who attend the Episcopal church of
The Hill, and are temporarily sojourn
ing in their midst, have decided to ex
Tzvo Views of Christmas Gifts
Christmas! Christmas and a merry,
jolly happy one to all, is in the at
mosphere already.
The stores are clad in their usual
beautiful holiday attire. The windows
are decorated with gifts to cheer the
hearts of both the young and the old.
Tinsels and gaily-colored ornaments
with bells, horns, dolls, wonderful me
chanical toys, climbing vine-clad
mountains, hold the w-ee tots spell
bound for hours before the windows.
The Christmas flower, so suggestive
of the season, the poinsetta peeps out
from amidst ferns, holly, johnquills
and hyacinths. Even the delicate hot
house roses of pink and gorgeous
American beauties all come to add to
the beauty and cheer of Christmas.
But lets i*ot forget the violet with its
message of sweetness, too.
Now let us put our heads together
and think of the gifts that are suitable
and appropriate to make every one
glad. Tie them up prettily in tissue
paper and seal with Christmas tags.
Oh, but it helps these simple and in
expensive wrappings.
/ A very sweet and touching story
cVimes to mind which seems worthy of
repetition. A sweet old lady who had
married young to a poor man whom
she loved. Although he loved her ten
derly and most devotedly, he had nev
er been able to give her more than the
actual necessities of life. She had rais
ed a family of good children and now,
a widow, was living with a daughter.
It was near Christmas; the family
were discusing what to give mother
and grand-mother. One said, “I’ll give
her some wanm cotton fleece-lined
stockings,” and another said, “I’ll give
w'oolen gloves,” and so on.
The young grand-daughter saved
several dollars. She created quite a
stir when she said, “I am going to give
my grand-mother a lot of beautiful
pink roses just like a bride’s-maid
would carry.”
The family were shocked; thought
she had lost her senses and said, “No;
the idea; give her something sensible
and useful,” but Miss “Young Ameri
ca” said, “No, that is it it; anlways
and forever something sensible or use
ful. She is going to have roses, roses;
a big bunch of beauties too, I will se
lect them.”
Christmas came. All the sensible
warm- presents came, too; and were
put in grandma’s room and the roses;
pink, sweet and beautiful; were there
in a vase beside the rest. When the
family went in to see her to wish her

Weed, Walton Way and Milledge road,
where they may meet and get into
closer touch with each other.
a Merry Christmas, she sat with the
roses held in her arms caressing them.
Tears were rolling down her withered
cheeks and all she could say was,
“Roses, sweet and beautiful roses, I
have wanted them all my life, but your
papa couldn’t buy them. My heart has
always yearned for them. I’ve dream
ed of roses just like these. Now I am
happy—so happy today—God bless my
little girl for my roses.”
Now- let us, in giving our presents stop
and think, that perhaps the necessary
homely warm gifts might be accepta
ble, but maybe roses, or some gay and
pretty gifts we have planned for a
rich friend, would make the heart of
the poor friend happy too. Just be
cause people are poor does not signify
they would not enjoy the gifts usual
ly given to the rich.
Eet us make this the best and jolliest
Christmas ever for our dear ones, the
poor ones, and especially the wee
ones.
