That Grows With The
Child and The Years
This would sooti become« dreary old world
if we didn’t stop once every year and allow
the best there is in us to have full play.
At Christmas time we put aside the sel­
fish motiyaYions of our lives and give ourselves
the pleasure of self-determination under the
beneficent influence of the spirit which
prompts us to think of others.
Il’s a strange trait of human‘ftatdre that,
realizing as we do how much happier we are
when so governed, we still drift, back each
time
into the'habits
of selfishness.
. >, ■

. Phillips Brooks puts it this way :
It’s the prompting thought that gives to the gift its
real worth.
Your loving interest in the child of tender years — in
what finer way could you express that sentiment than
through the opening of a Savings Account?
It’s the gift that lasts, grows and becomes the nucleus
of financial preparation for meeting life> problems
and opportunities when the child reaches maturity
Make that Gift a Savings Bass-Book
with an tniriai deposit of any
amount you wish.
“Th« earth has grown old with its burden of care
But at Christmas it slwsys is young;
The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair.
And its soul full -of musfc, break forth oa th« air
When th« song of the Angels is sung.’*
