Before we go to press next week Christinas Day will have come and gone. The Advocate is very thankful that it is still here, to again wish all its readers and friends a Merry Christmas 1 It is regrettable that not all peo ple will have a merry and prosper ous celebration of this annual event. But it is incumbent upon those who are enjoying prosperity to remem ber in some tangible way, those who are less fortunate. Some people will entertain and be entertained—they will enjoy all the blessings that go with Christ mas Day, while thousands upon thousands, like Jesus, when He was on earth, will not have a place to lay their heads. We hear much about prosperity, yet all around us we see men out of work—homeless, penniless, friendless and hungry, Christmas is a time when true charity should be practiced toward the poor and needy. As long as there is variation in mankind, just that long will Christmas have a dif- ferent meaning to different people To some, it will denote a time when religious zeal can mount to a high pitch; to others, it is merely a time of year when social activity reaches its peak; to still others, it has a two fold meaning, a time to give and a time to receive gifts.
