“And the angel said unto
them, Fear not; for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all
people.”
Christmas is a season of gaity
in decorations of the home and
garden. Now that cold weather
is here, the berries are really
appreciating the weather. They
will be very pretty as outdoor
Christmas trees, or for trees for
birds.
The flr trees will be pruned,
as everyone wants to buy,
borrow or steal a sprig of

evergreen. It is well to prune
firs now, but it is wise to prune
them yourself and give the
extra away. Sometimes pruners
don’t respect the part they
leave.
Most doorways and windows
will be decorated for Christmas,
as well as the interiors of
homes, and few will forego an
indoor Christmas tree. Be sure
to appreciate the effort people
go to in providing scenes in
spired by the birth of Christ.
Because of the fuel shortage,
some citizens will use less
elaborate lighting this year.
Remember to carefully observe
safety rules in setting up trees,
strin^ng bulbs, or making use
of various electrical appliances.
These things do create fire
hazards.
There are a number of ways
to preserve green decorations.
For example, they can be
soaked in sugar water before
you use them, or sprayed with
plastic. Turn off lights when
you are not at home, not only to
preserve fuel but to reduce the
chances of fire in your absence.
For this week’s Buds and
Blossoms poem, we bring you
these lines by Edgar A. Guest.
There’s a little chap at our
house
That is being mighty good.
Keeps the front lawn looking
tidy
In the way we’ve said he
We should pray with as much
earnestness as those who expect
everything from God; and
should act with as much energy
as those who expect everything
from themselves.—Colton.
Praise has different effects,
according to the mind it meets
with; it makes a wise man
modest, but a fgol more
arrogant, turning his weak
twain giddy.—Feltham.
We shall have to fight the
politician, who remembers only
that the unborn have no votes
and that since posterity has
done nothing for us we need do
nothing for posterity.—Inge.
should;
Doesn’t leave his little wagon.
When he’s finished with his
play.
On the sidewalk as he used to;
Now he puts it right away.
When we call him into supper.
We don’t have to stand and
shout;
It is getting on to Christmas
And it’s plain he’s found it out.
He eats the food we give him
Without murmur or com
plaint;
He’s seated at the table
Like a cherub or a saint;
He doesn’t pinch his sister
Just to hear how loud she’ll
squeal;
Doesn’t ask us to excuse him
In the middle of the meal,
And at eight o’clock he’s willing
To be put away to bed.
It is getting close to Christmas;
Nothing further n^ be said.
None are too wise to be
mistaken, but few are so wisely
Just as to acknowledge and
correct their mistakes, and
especially the mistakes of
jwejudice.—Barrow.
It is our relation to cir
cumstances that determines
their influence over us. The
same wind that carries one
vessel into port may blow
another off shore.—Bovee.
If I can put one touch of a rosy
sunset into the life of any man
or woman, I shall feel that I
have worked with God.—
Ge(H^e MacDonald.
Nature knows no pause in
progress and development, and
attaches her curse on all
inaction.—Geothe.
Indulge in Procrastination,
and in time you will come to
this, that because a thing ought
to be done, therefore you can’t
dd it.—Charles Buxton.
The TRADEMARK -
a little thing to
look for, but a big
thing to find.
