Is Restoration of Self-Reapeet to Fel low Being; Held His heat of Ideals. miscellaneous (tr et s - and say to yourself. charity go you pros perous man, In this Christmas season: I will devote my energy to taking one particular family that Is defeated in life's struggle and In restoring It to the self-respect and the outlook on life that I enjoy,' " was the plea of the Rev. J. H. Boyd In his address at the Christ mas luncheon of the Rotary Club at the Benson Hotel yesterday. It Is the easiest thing in the world to throw your money Into a basket or to throw your basket of supplies through the door of the poor on Christ mas morning, but the service that real' ly counts is the service that comes from the heart and with the heart. The prosperous business man stands at the gateway of human opportunity and determines in a large degree who shall be permitted to pass through. This Is one or the greatest responslbui ties that a human being can bear, and it can be borne properly only by a man who has a big human heart in him that Is willing to give itself for the service of fellw-men.
