The clerk smiled indulgently. “Are

“Oh, I don't want it for myself,”
she replied. “It’s a Christmas present

party though, untii they have
presents. They must be nicely gift
wrapped, too.
Children enjoy giving presents as
much as they enjoy receiving them,
They have not yet become sophisti
cated and are as natural as can be.
At Christmas adults become children
again. They take off their wrappings
and unashamed do natural, childlike
things. Looking for appropriate gifts
becomes a national passion. We get
a lot of fun out of making others
happy and by giving gifts to all sorts
of good causes as well as to our
friends.
Christmas is the time of the year
when we can be supremely happy. It
commemorates the great event in his
tory, the birth of the founder of
Christianity. It is a birthday holiday,
and a time when the child spirit
reigns supreme.
Through the years certain customs,
practices and goings-on which have
no connection with Christmas, have in
the public mind become associated
with its celebration, These have often
obscured the meaning of the Holy
Day. But more and more, thoughtful1"
men and women are coming to realize
the religious significance of the cele
bration. Make Christmas Christian. Be
careful of your habits and avoid ex
travagances. Drinking is dangerous
and might easily be the cause of un
happiness and sorrow. What a
Christmas for the family if parents
are sleeping off the effects of a
party when Santa comes.
When all is said and done Christ
mas is basically and profoundly a re
ligious experience. It celebrates not
only the birth of a child but the birth
of an idea. Peace, the greatest need
in the world, is in short supply. So
is unselfishness. Christmas can be
Christian without being stuffy. Our
churches will be telling us to put
Christ into Christmas and
Christmas Christian. Well, why

Saint Nicholas Was
Bishop of Myra
Saint Nicholas lived some 1600 years
ago in Turkey where he was for 17
years Bishop of Myra. Today, the
place is known as Demre, province
of Antalya, where his church may still
be found and one may yet hear of
the generous acts which made his life
a great legend and gave him the
“.Santa Claus” character we all know
today.
It is said that Saint Nicholas, a man
of great virtue and piety, became the
patron saint of boys when he restor
ed to life the sons of a rich Asiatic,
who had been murdered by a robber
innkeeper while they were enroute
to school at Athens. It is said that he
was warned, of the crime in a dream
but was unable to reach the, inn in
time to prevent the murders. He re
stored the boys to life through prayer
and the murderer confessed his crime.
“Good King Wenceslas” was born
in 1907, son of the Christian King
of Bohemia, He met his death on
September 28th, 929. The incident
in the well-known Christmas carol
was typical of his Christian works
of mercy.

You will likely pay more for
your Christmas tree this year.
Demand for Canadian trees in
the U.S. is greater than ever
before and that is sending the
price of trees here up by 25
cents or more. But if two or
three dollars seems a high tag
for a tree, look at what is hap

American and European families
there have already paid $35 each.
KIDNEYACIDS
Many people never seem to get a good
night’s rest. They turn and toss—blame it
on ‘nerves'—-when it may be their kidneys.
Healthy kidneys filter poisons and excess
acids from the blood. If they fail and
impurities stay in the system—disturbed
rest often follows. If you don’t rest well
