TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1927 FOR THE CHILDREN m wi While in the mere matter of total the | \d Christmas Cheer Fund is already imposing, Yt requires only a little searching of the in- eo dividual conscience to show that the bulk cof this year's gifts come from a few who, | Jin sharing their wealth with: the needy, | "justify their stewardship, But, at the same time, their leadership should be a challenge to all others. For it isn't the gift, it's the giver; the of the offering in the name of charity measured only by the willingness to serve There are scores of needy cases in Oshawa | ° this year, The number is due to the great increase in population, The letters that thave come in tell of bitter hardship amongst children, : No-one should hesiiate in this matter, First, because each of these cases are earn- estly but very kindly investigated. There is \ vino likelihood under the Christmas Cheer $8 Committee, of the unworthy benefitting at {' A the expense of the generous. There is however, a danger that many will be overlooked this year unless those who w 020 spare a little to make some child's "I Christmas happy get the Christmas Spirit before Friday. That's the second rcason, the more im- portant one. The appeal is in behalf of Children, It is their innocence that ap- peals; their miseries which wring the heart; their needs that should bring out a thous- | and dollars.of voluntary gifts from those ! not already hcard from in the next two days, AL He] HHT aril | iat HTH £2 sia HH I!

The half-empty church of today may indi- cate greater liberality of thought. But the world was a safer place to live in when men believed in hell. DIGNITY OF W( .K D, M. Tod, head of Tod's Bread Limited, gave a Christmas season banquet to his staff on Saturday night. Those who were there testify that it was a good banquet in every sense, There was fun, amusement, and an old fashioned "groaning board." But there was something of particular in- terest in the speeches, delivered for the most part by executives of companies with which the local baking company does busi- ness. Most of them spoke without prelimin- ary thought, but as they talked, the outside listener began to get a new angle on the commonplace matter of making bread. The spectacular was evident. The au- dience was told of aeroplanes carrying yeast into Vermont towns, beleagured by floods, so that baking could go on. Each man contributed something, the net result was to show that bread making isn't commonplace at all, but a great indus- try and a vital one, The lesson here for other business is that » | Hit 2 ~ i ARE (Hamilton Spectator) Il soon be as popular | gor 51a Dobbin, bug in the open ;ork without a salary or even He was heedless and forgetful or he'd surely have been there. it 1a predicted.

Bit of Verse CHRISTMAS CRADLZ SONG Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed! Heavenly blessings without number Gently falling on thy head, - Sleep, my babe, thy food and raiment, House and home thy fhiends provide; All without thy care or payment, All thy wants are well supplied. How much better thou'rt attended Than the Son of God could be, When from heaven He descended, And became a child like thee! Lo, He slumbers in His manger, Where the horned oxen fed; Peace, my darling, here's no danger, Here's no ox anear thy bed! Mayst thou live to know and fear Him, Trust and love Him all thy days; Then go dwell for ever near Him; See His face, and sing His praise! ~Sir Isaac Watts. Symphony Orchestras A Superb Olt!
