THERE is no sympathy w helpful to a
family that is bereaved as that of true
friends and no help so reassuring as that of the
gocd funeral director.

Acting in your stead, he understands that he
must act in your spirit, performing each task
with the reverence and tenderness with which
your own hands would perform it if they could.
Sympathy which cannot be gracefully con
veyed by words is revealed through his acts of
service which bring the comforting assurance
that every attention has been given
with thoughtfulness and skill.

The Community church Christ
mas program) was held on Friday
eve. Santa Claus was somewhat
late hut. finally came with a little
remembrance for each.
Four now members were re
ceived into the fellowship of the
church at the Sunday morning
service. In the evening the ser
vice was quite in keeping with
the season, being taken from
Dickon's 'Christmas Carol."
Monday morning, however, was
reserved for the most inspiring
and helpful meeting of tho year.
riio Christian Endeavor was in
charge. Though the time set for
the service was 7:111, trio attend
ance was good and all felt that
the day had been started right.
Sunday morning, the pastor s
topic will bo "Pressing On
ward." In the evening "Man's
osolution."
The Community church is not
so much interested in a creed as
it is in striving to learn the will
of Christ.
On Tuesday. December lflth.
the annual Christmas party of
the Altruistic I'luli, Pythian am
ors, was held al the homo of
Sister Lillian Walker, on Wil-
ametto Boulevard. The rooms
were tastefully decorated in red
and green crepo paper In keep
ing with the holiday spirit, and
dinner "like mother used to
make" was served at noon. All
present wore kept busy making
and filling bags for the Christ
mas tree, Friday evening, Doe.

Tho Women 'c Protective Divi
sion is not n dectcetsve agency as
JiiMiy people arc prone to boliovo
but rather organized i'jr the pur
posc of protection and prevention
not prosecution nor persecution,
although protection many times
requires prosecution to more
than one person, according to
Mrs. Q. 1J. Nickorson, who spoke
at the Y. W. C. A. regarding this
department of tho city's work.
This woman's department hns
seen 17 years of continuous ser
vice in Portland, having been re
tained through the administra
tion of five mayors and six chiefs
of police, which speaks well for
the efficiency of the department.
At present there nro !) women
known as operatives, all of whom
are educated women tinder the
civil service, but they are not po
lice women as they arc some
times erroneously called. For
this department the city provides
a suite of fivo rooms in tho Wor
cester" building, not at the police
station. These rooms nro kept
open from 8 :',!() a. in. to midnight
including Sunday and holidays
and hero women nnd children
may go for protection, not perse
eution. Two well furnished,
well heated, comfortable rooms
are maintained where often
mothers with children seek re
fuge from n drunken husband
and father, or delinquent, girls
are eared for pending the time
for her ease to be called. There
is splendid co-operation between
the police officers and the wo
men of tho protective division
each calls upon the other as oe-
casion requires, miring tuo year
important, in
made and 2212
eared for,
and offices
Every day the women opera
tives of this department nro in
the police court and never 8 week
passes without eases in tho cir
cuit and federal courts. One
operative is assigned to depart
ment and office work and an
other as dance inspector. Tho di

cases by Santa Claim himself.
Other organizations and clubs in

nished Chrlstmns dinner for sev
eral families and Iho Camp Firo
girls who nintle "Puss in Hoots"
amounting to $30 which they
presented to the Communily
Club for distribution, assisted in
making this the very best Christ
mas that tho St. Johns children
have ever had. Churches and
lodges held Christmas trees with
programs and many distributed
candy and nuts which also added
to tho happiness. And now tho
glittering trees, heavily laden
wilh bright colored ornaments
and candles, the joyous happy
shouts of the children are mice
more a memory for Christmas
