Ju s t here and there an impression w hich ior some reason or other, qpite inexplicable came to stay with us throughout our , earth ly days, lit may have been a certain summer sunset in which we received a faint glimpse of eternity, the look in a woman's eyes in -a crowd, some holiday' celebration, a chance meeting with an individual hever'"rftet'befdre or s i n ^ dhe of "the ships th a t pass in the n ig h t/' a m other's kiss, o r a g rea t sorrow. These are the things Which return to us now and again, recalled by some incident of the day, . , ' ' A CHRISTMAS APPEAL Fellow, Citizens/-- The Christinas Season is again upbn/usp the time when we should, not. only be happy also But strongest of all are memories of childhood,, when ,we dreamt "long, long'thoughts," and of them the clearest are those of Christmas;.. God send. th a t , these .last are happy, ones, for nothing good which may afterw ards come to'Us will quite make u p 'fo r sadne^is then! , ' Christmas bebngs to children;:. I t is the one day in the year when we, grown-ups become or should become onlookers, while, the little ones have their, day arid their play, and the' house resounds4o.their,happy laughter at.the,new ...toys. as . well as the good things to eat. Bad as_ human nature is, there are very, very few parents who would "willingly,deny the ir children the joys.of. Christmas, but unfortunately in, these days of 'depression many find it . almost impossible to even provide' their families with fhe bare necessities of food and clothing. , There are children in„ W est ̂ Vancouver who will have'^ none of these joys except of your providing, no new toys or none of those.,little ,extra dainties, which bring Christmas home to childish; hearts. They will not a sk you because they , , do not know,' haying nothing but their fa ith i n Santa Claus; r Christm as memories! • You have^ them;, And,„. be they bright o r sad, but most of all if they be sad, you m ust give in' order th a t Christmas Day may bring joy and. hot heart­ break to some unfortunate little .ones in W est Vancouver., .
