And so we give gifts. p� Men and women of Ontario l We who stand for good will among men, and nations; we whose men fight that there may at last be real peace on earth—let us make this a Christmas worthy of the day it commemorates—let us lay aside a generous proportion of our Christmas money for the families of those who are fighting the good fight. Give to the Chnadian Patriotic Fund the fund that guards the soldier' families from want. Great as the result will be among the families of our soldiers, greater yet may the blessing be among us, the givers. Christmas will have a more vital meaning for us than perhaps ever before, and asior the children. who can measure the impression they will receive and keep of that Christmas Day when they shared their Christmas with the loved ones of the men who saved their country! Let each Canadian boy arnc1 girl get a lesson from this historic Christmas which will go with them all through life. Good men and women of Ontario! Can the need of our soldiers' families cry in vain for the relief which this Fund alone makes possible? Can we --can we, in the face of it all, again give lavishly among ourselves? Shall we not this year, with hearts full of the spirit of Christmas, lay .aside a generous proportion of our Christmas money for the cause which so urgently needs it? "Somewhere in France" he is fighting the good fight. Somewhere in Ontario all that he holds dear is depending upon our decision. Truly **k is more blessed to give than to receive." Ontario will be ask- ed in January to as- sure the Canadian Patriotic Fund that it can depend on having six million dollars in 1917 for the families of On- tario's • s"oldiers. AN- PATRIOT Four mitlion of these dollars must be secured from individ- ual subscriptions. If there is no Branch of the Fund in your town or county send your subscription di- rect to the Bead Office, Canadian Patriotic Fund, Vit- toria street.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE The Baspital for Sick.Childreo COLLEGE ST., TORONTO. Dear Mr. Editor:— Thanks for the privilege of appeal- ing through your columns on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the great Provincial Charity. Our need of money is measured by the children's need of help, and you can judge how great that need must be when last year 3,045 sick little ones were treated as in -patients, and as will be seen from the 1916 figures, 592 patients were admitted from 242 places outside Toronto. Last year 271 in -patients were treat ed for deformities, such as club feet, bow-legs, knock-knees, Pott's disease of the spine, lateral curvature of the spine, dislocations, infantile paralysis, tubercular disease of knee, hip, ankle. Is the Hospital for Sick Children to take dollars out of your pocket, or is death to take babies out of their cradles? That is the question. One gift more in the Hospital's trea- sury means one coffin less in tha LITTLE WHITE HE ;TSE. The Hospital must be digging up help for little children from the soil of human kindness, or sextons will be digging graves for little children in the soil of many a cemetery.. The Hospital for Sick Children can only volunteer its mercy 1st so far as you friends of little children volunteer your money for service in the Hos- pital's never-ending battle for the lives of the little ones. Let your money fight in the trenches of some mother's trouble and rescue some little child from the dugout of pain, disease and death. Can the Hospital leave children to die because the fathers of those chil- dren have left home to fight for lib- erty on the British battle line, and can the Hospital help the children of Can- ada's soldiers with its care unless you help the Hospital with yo*r cash? You have money .enough to help every other war fund without keeping back a dollar from the Hospital's war fund—the fund that helps the Hospital save the lives of little children, includ- ing the soldiers' little children. Do not let the little children pay, in the loss of the Hospital's care, the con- tribution that should be given and must be given to the war funds. Your money can send a message of cheer to some father in the terenohes— yes, send that message" from the cot where the Hospital nurses some little child back to life, the child of the father who is fighting your battle in the trenches: Every dollar kept : from the Hos. pital's power to serve the little chile dren is a weight added to the burdens and a griefadded to the sorrows of this war. - You can bear to have your pocket emptied of, a little, money easier than some mother can; bear, to have her' home emptied'. of a little child. Will you send a dollar, or more, if. you -can, to Douglas .Davidson, Secre tart' -Treasurer, or J. ROSS ROBERTSON,' Chairman of the Board of Trustees, -- i he engagieinppt is announced • of Fl rr Eva lyp ,lypn, ,o1. Loadesboro, to A Mt. • rthur . E.
