E iwish you u ipierrjf W Christmas with the hnpe (hat the gifts ynu receive will in- clude Health, IVealth and Happlnesa through Ihe years to come N hat a wonderful spfnt Is this which meets us dmvn on that margin where the years pass each other--one going and the other coming! It laughs at distance, for the mind then can &ving its &vay over continents and seas that divide us. It starts pilgrimages in fancy, and real- ity. to the nld home. it calhe its roll aml from faded pages it brings names that were almost, forgotten. Indeed, names are called then that one scarcely mentions from one year's cnd to another. It stnps processions on the way to the cemetery of for- gotten things. It awakens memory, and digs in the ashes of the past. It breaks on mankind with the sound of bells, and lets in a flood of feeling that carries down the barriers of selfishness, and our little boats are loosened from their moorings. It is an earnest of redemption, and a reminder that the world is not altogether bad, for there is scarcely a &loor- &vay anywhere then in Christen- dom &vhjch is not entered by a messenger of Love. Indeed, 6 channel has been worn in the world's year, and for these few days at least, the spirit of Christ fills it to the brim. Christmas should mean more to the surging tide of humanity than a day is which to receive gifts and favors; a day in which the home table is adorned with bounteous supplies of rich food and relishes; 6 day in which the homes of the fortunate are warmed by glowing fires and blended into warm colofw by ap- proaching decoration. Christmas is nothing to you if this is what it means. The Christ gives all, without hope or promise of receiving Shall we receive all and give nothing? IVhat about the unfortunate brother near rnuqfn whom Dame 'ortunehas not smiled? Offer the comfort of your fireside and the fruits of your labor to him on this, the Day of all Days. IVhat about the helpless, un- defmourishe&l infant to whom the cost of a cigar would mean a quart of wholesome milk, hap- piness and comfort? What about the widow, lab- oring to keep life and health in a large family? It might be your wife ten days or ten years hence. The pfdce of a quart would bring happiness to her home and fireside. Go out on this day; seek out the fallen, the poor and needy; comfort them as best you can. If it is only a good dinner you can give, give it freely and giveit gladly. Give without thought of re- ceiving in return; the gods will not forget you. They never do. Make it not a "Merry Christ- Inas," Brother, but a good Christmas for all mankind.

On &Vcdacaday night Hoiiyburn Theatre waa filled with children aad parents on the occasion of the com- bined concert of the West Vancouver public schools. There waa also an afternoon pcrformaocc, meant apc- ciaBy for the benefit of the school children wbo were not taking part in the programme. The concert this year waa an ex- tremely good one and showed that much caro and &bought bad been given to the &raining and preparation of &bc children. The youngatcra gave a goad account of themselves, and, whilst there were a fcw amusing incidents, these only tended to give Cur&bar ca- joymcat &o the interested audience. It ia fust about a year since the Holly- burn Theatre waa fiffcd with ao much joyful noise, aod, when the stage waa dark, the boys and girls certainly did their utmost &o prove their lungs were in good condition. Two per- formances in one day, ending as iato as 10 p.m., must have been somewhat of a at&cia far children of such im- mature years. However, they accmce &o enjoy it cquaBy as well if aot morc than did the grownups. Their per- formance must have been very pleas- ing &o the teachers wbo bove trained them for this big event & f the year. guneriil QIEectnrs North Vancouver Parlors 122 West Sixth Street Phone North 134 Vancouver Parlors 55 Tenth Avenue East Phone Fair. 134 NA VIGABLE 1VATERS PROTEC- TION ACT R.S.C.
