tho thought that Christmas day will
bring forth nothing mure than pirns

is exerting every effort to cheer these
people, it wants them to feel that
Christinas Is truly a day of enjoyninit.
Kvrry citizen of Salem sh.iuhl do liko
wise. If they learn of n family which
will lie lacking the ordinary rmufuil
and joys of Christinas, notify the Sal
vallon Army or, better still, allow
their Christmas spirit to go outsldr ol
their own homes nnd lend a lntlr
cheer to the poor people.
