The spirit of Christmas is abroad our town. But certainâ€"it is that it is here in the very air we breathe. It has touchâ€" ed all our faces till they smile, It has touched our hearts too, as we give. Christmas grectings, kindly feelings, generous imnulsesâ€"all are flowing from the touch of the Spirit‘s hand. It has been seen in the schools, in the churches, in the clubâ€"rooms, in the homes. it may have been as a Santa Claus in red tunic and grey beard that we yaw it. It may have been in ordinary attire as a humble person doing a kind action for a neigbour, that we caught a glimpse of it. And Peace of heart and mind comes to "Men of soodâ€"will." A very happy Christmas to all, is the sincere wish of your local correspondent. SE CIL. AP. L. Z2 L IL P P fl@?
