'A PARADE OF 79,410 CHILDREN
PASSING THROUGH ONE DOORWAY
lust try to visualize over seventy -
give battalions of soldiers passing in
single file.. , or think of the popula-
tion of a city bigger than Brantford,
Peterborough and Kingston all com-
bined.
Now you have a basis for compari-
son because that's the number of
individual visits made by children to
the Out -Patient Department of the
Hospital for Sick Children last year.
This huge total represents the need
of babes and youngsters for medical
treatment ... help which could not
be afforded if parents were asked to
pay more than a small part of the
cost. In fact, many parents cannot
afford any payment at all.
These little ones need your help.
The revenue from Government and
Municipal grants, plus whatever
parents may contribute, covers part
of the expense, but the balance must
come from charitable citizens.
Please mail a donation today ...
no matter how small, The need is
greater than ever before,

the Christmas Sunday morning ser-
vice music repeated at the morning
service last Sunday. The anthem was
entitled The First Christmas Morn."
It was so well rendered and so well
received that many wished to hear it
given again. The choir was in full
strength for the morning service. Rev.
A, Lane read the story of St. Paul's
journey to Ronne iri which he exper-
ienced shipwreck, and chose for his
sermon text Paul's admonition as the
seamen were about to abandon ship,
"Except these abide in the ship ye
cannot be saved " During the coming
year, said the minister, every one will
require faith and courage and unless
these abide in us we shall be over-
come. What may happen to us dur-
ing the year is of less importance
than what happens within us, was a
key thought in his discourse. It was
announced that on Sunday next at the
morning service the sacrament of the
Lord's Supper will be administered
and: that pre -communion service will
be held on, Friday evening at.8
