I: Perhaps, not for many years has ' the true Christmas spirit been so manifest as this year. Those who` have enough and to spare of this world s goods are sharing in a largerl measure than ever before with those who have little. This spirit embodies truest Christianity--it is the spirit which Christ sought to establish in the hearts of men--race, language, creed, position-these things mat-l tering not to Him who gave us the Christmas spirit. It is the spirit oil optimism, of charity, of tolerance-I this spirit, which when nding lodge- ment in all people throughout the, year, as well as at Christmas, willi banish the clouds of war, crime anu misery, which have for so long cast shadows upon What should be al happy world. Let us then endeavor} to foster this spirit of good will! throughout the year 1931. , Phone 82 DR. N. W. ROGERS PHYSIQIAN AND SURGEON Special attention to Obstetric: .
