Last Sunday failed to bring out the
expected number to Sunday School
About ten less rtian last Sunday and
about twenty-five leas than the first
Sunday. In all attending Sunday were
159.
It was decided after almost every
night last week had been chosen to
have the Christmas Social Tuesday
night and elected Miss Pearle Gupton
chairman of the Social committee and
Mr. G. M. Raynor chairman of the con
fectionary committee.
Owing to the growth of the Bright
JewelB this class was divided, and
Mrs. W. P. Leonard elected as teacher
of the new claBS. which was later
named Rose Buds. Mr. W. J. Gallo
way was unanimously elected teacher
of the Albert class.
As next Sunday Is the last Sunday
before Christmas we are very anxious
for each member to bring as large
contribution as possible next Sunday.
It was very gratifying Sunday to see
how freely the Calvin's contributed ?
*8.31.
These men are wonders. They can
and will do things in a way no other
class does. So everyone of you. each of
the Sunday school members bring as
much as you can next Sunday to help
us have a good social and buy new
literature.
We are wishing for each member of
the school a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

tel! r.bout Jesus.
There- ire so many things for which
v have to be thankful. m?y we not
rt !ve that r.ot only Thanksgiving
D ;? but each dp.y of our lives may be
a day of thanksgiving.
Already. I am sure your thoughts
an running ahead, and reaching out
towards Christmas. And as the birth
day of the Christ-child draws near,
may each of us have a deeper realiza
tion of the wonderful love of God,
which made possible the first Christ
mas.
Just as the shepherds on the Judean
?hills heard the song of the Christmas
Ar.gols. on that night so long ago, may
you hear the angel's song in your
hearts, and may it ring so sweetly and
clearly, that some other heart less
happy than yours, perhaps, may catch
the music of love and peace and take
up the song.
If we are not as close to our Mas
ter as we should be. may we. as the
wise men who followed the star and
carried Him gifts of gold, frankin
cense. and myrrh, follow the bright1
star of His love and bow our hearts
in reverence before Him as we offer
to Him our gifts of love and service.
May the coming Christmas be the
happiest one you have ever known.
Lovingly,
I NEVA HARPER.

Dear Girls:
On this Thanksgiving day, my heart
is truly thankful for the Joy and privi
lege of having known and learned to
love each of you.
How I should like to bo one of you
as you gather to thank tho Giver of
every good and perfect gift, for the
manifestations of His love to you,
during this year. May there be in
your hearts a spirit of thankfulness
for the privilege of worshiping God
as your conscience directs you, for we
know that all people do not have that
liberty. One of our Training School
sisters Is a Hungarian girl who has
undergone persecution on account of
her belief in Christ. Once she was
locked up by a priest, who tore her
Bible from her hand, and also snatch
ed her hymn book from her hand and
threw It across the floor several times.
Each time he threw the book down,
she picked it up and sang again. But
the next morning the priest took his
entire family In to hear her sing and

Did you go hunting? Perhaps you

He ilea a bush on bis head and lies
face downward on the ground slip
ping along until he gets close to his
animal, which he then shoots with a
poisoned arrow. The animal keeps
going, after he has been hit, for three
fourths of a day sometimes, with the
bushman following. When he falls
the hunter runs to blm and kills him,
cutting out the part of the flesh that
has been blackened by the poisoned
arrow
N'ow\would you like to go with the
busT&ian on an ostrich hunt? You
say you would. Very well, get you
an ostrich skin and throw over your
body, as the bushman does and graze
among them until you are close enough
to them to kill one.
I am eager to know a whole lot
about what you R. A.'s are doing. Can't
some of you write me all about it?
May each of you. spend a happy

VIRGIF/S CHRISTMAS SOXCS
(By Bonnie P. Griffin)
It was a cold bitter, raw day in De
cember. The clouds were high and
gay. the winds were sharp and bitter
and howled moanfully as they roared
around the large buildings in Boston.
It was about 5 o'clock in the after
noon. The shadows of evening had
already begun to fall on the streets
and avenues making them appear more
dark and dismal than they had through
out the dark and dismal day.
A tall slender woman of about 30
years came out of one of the large de
partment stores on main street. She
walked down the street a little ways
then turned up a side street walked
on about four blocks and paused be
fore a large building, one of those
buildings where so many families
make their home. After a moment she
opened the door and entered, walked
on down the long hall and began to
mount the long stairway at the farth
er end of the hall. At the top of the
stairway she opened a side door en
tered a small room and ascended an
other Jong flight of stairs at the top
of these she opened a door which led
Into a small but comfortable looking
bed-room. A bright fire was burning
In the grate. A large white cat was
dozing on the hearth, while in a large
rocker pulled close to tne Are a little
girl of about 8 years sat fast asleep,
her long black curls hanging about
her face and a large picture book waa
lyin^ on the floor at her feet.
When the woman hac removed her
wrap and scarf, she came 10 the fire
warmed her hands and bent down and
kissed the ruby lips of the fair, little
sleeper, who suddenly Jumped up ex
claiming "Oh. mama! have you come
at last? You have been gone so long."
A soft smile played around the pale,
aad but beautiful face of the woman
as she bent down and took the little
one in her arms and aat down with
her.
A long conversation followed be
tween mother and baby, related to the
events of the ddy, then Mrs. Moore,
'as we will now call her, arose and
j went Into the adjoining room, where
' she began to prepare supper. Virgie
soon followed. She busied herself all
the while, trying to help mother all
she could, all the while chattering in
her childish language and the great
est subject of her conversation was
"Christmas" and "what Santa Claua
would leave for her tomorrow night,"
for tomorrow was Christmas Eve and
little Virgie's heart waa so flUed with
! this happy thought that she could talk
I of nothing else.
I There was a sad expression on Mrs.
Moore's face and alho;:gh she spoke
I no word, she was thinking deeply and
jot'ten when Virgie would mention to
I morrow, her eyes would fill with tears
she knew that her financial condition
was such that it would be impossible
for Virgie's dream to come true, and
what was still worse she could think
of no excuse why Santa Claus should
slight little Virgie and while she
knew it was impossible she kept sN
