SINCLAIR SAVES SANTA
"Twu the night before Christmas and on in the North
The folks were all stirring to send Santa forth. ?
This trip would be different?no sleigh or reindeer.
Would be hsuling St Nick on his ronnd of good cheer.
He chose for his travel a handsome machine
Bat he wasn't so choosey about gasoline
In a mood optimistic he stepped on the gas.
This '52 Blitaen." he thought "is real class."
Bat BUtsen had fits, 'n she moved mighty slow.
She coughed and she spattered?she needed a tow.
"Confound it" said Santa "we most get along.
To Joe's Sinclair Station. He'll know what is wrong.
"Hey Joe boy." said Santa. "I'm In a tight spot.
It looks like my whole fuel system Is shot
The gaa line is rusty?so bad it wont feed."
"In that ease," said Joe, "I have Just what you need."
"This Anti-Bast gas of Sinclair's Is a pip!
A tankfnl wtU give you a trouble-free trip.
No rust or egression will keep back these toys
From being delivered U good girls and boys!"
"Now step on the starter-hold on to poor cap
And here, by the way, is a fine Sinclair map."
"Tm grateful," said Nick, as he drove eat of sight.
Christmas to all and to all a good night"

to take a walk ...
Where are you going this time? Could it be .: i
to church?
That's the ahorteet long trip in the world. Perhape
only a block or two. But H can lead all the way
to Peace of Mind.
Your mind may nbt have been at peace in many
ways, with one particularly disturbing thought
returning time after tin&e...
Tht little ftUow...starting to grow up...starting
to grow up without formal religious teaching
... without training in knowledge of God.
What would the world be without God?
What will our children be, without training
in knowledge of God? If we lot thia happen,
face them in their hour of need?
So thia week, you and he together are taking thb
first step. Your greatest gift to your children ig
faith in God.
