Originally the holly grew wild in the United States over a range from Massachusetts to Missouri and south to Florida and Texas. But too much harvesting in northeastern United States has destroyed much of the natural growth. Today most holly Is grown from Norfolk, Va„ to Florida within 50 or 60 miles of the Atlantic coast, and westward in the Gulf region to Louisiana. Current popularity of the holly is a continuation of the custom of the Druid feasts which honored the mis tletoe and holly in pagan rites. In Europe the tribes under Roman rule sent holly branches to each other as COAT HANGE 1 C UT OFF ENDS^ MARK, '//ZZZZX ' ' R IG H T S ID E MEM ENDS 4 ^F O L D STITCH AND xzzzzz >>/ > 5 T R IM MAKE SECOND STITCHING OF FRENCH SEA M — 6 PLACE HANGER INSIDE T 'H IS bag has been a great suc- cess.

Unfaithfulness The lines of suffering on almost every hum an countenance have been deepened, if not traced there, by unfaithfulness to con science, by departures from duty. To do wrong is the surest way to bring suffering. Those sins which are followed by no palpable pain are yet terribly avenged, even in this life. They abridge our ca pacity of happiness, im pair our relish for innocent pleasure, and increase our sensibility to suffer ing. They spoil us of the arm or of a pure conscience and of trust in God, without which we are vul nerable by all the changes of life. Thus, to do wrong is to inflict the surest injury on our own peace. No enemy can do us equal harm with w hat we do ourselves whenever or however we violate any norm al or religious obliga tion.—Channing. OUT OF SORTS?
