IETH EDEN ITES. Boys and Girls, A Christnias Mes sage -Personal and 0:h rwise. Beth Eden, Dec. 19.-Dear Boys nd Girls: A merry Christmas to you. I know that your little hearts hrob with joy as loved ones tell of Santa Claus and, that your last ought at. night and first in the morning are about what you shall wish for and expect. There is one little boy, four years old, who has dressed himself each morning and washed his own face and hands. He tries hard to remember to say "Yes, ma'am," and "If you please," to use his knife and fork at the table and to keep his temper. I hope Santa Claus will bring him and all other such children many nice toys. If you~r gifts are not just alike or so fine as those of some other child whom .u .:know don't let. it make you unhappy.. The dear old man will give .ou the best he can af ford and he has many little ones to please. Be careful with your- toys. Do not break or destroy them.. If you are careless with these small gifts now you will show the same dispo sition with- more - valuable possess ions when you are older. Keep some of the prettiest ones anyway. In pfter years when you have grown to mahhood and womaiihood they will recall these happy child hobd days. There are always little ones, poorer and less fortunate than you. Can you not divide with. these? Per haps you haye some toys or books which you have enjoyed.during this year and have grown tired of. Pass them along and gladden another child's heart. After each Christmas we read of so many accidents to the bodies of children by toy guns, pistols and fire crackers. Life is often de stroyed by them and through care lessness the life of many a promising boy and gentle maiden is .b&Ehted 'at sh. season. It al ways reminds me of these verses by F. M'. Lamb: "I walked through the woodland meadows. .Where sweet the ~thrushes sing, And found on a bed of mosses A bird with a broken wing. I healed its wound and each morn ing It sang its old, sweet strain; But the bird with the broken pinion Never soared so high again. , I found a y-oung life 'broken By sin's seductive art. And touched with a Christlike pity I took him to my heart. He lived withNa noble purpose And struggled not in vain; But the life that sin had stricken. Never soared so high again.", Let us not forget that Christ is the first and most precious Christ mas gift wvhich we have received from our Father and that it is' his birthday we are celebrating. Bu1 for this gift we would not have this enlightened Christian country and could not hope for a home ir Heaven.' Mrs. Lillie Shoppaut and son Herman, are spending the week a1 Mr. A. C. Sligh's.

It is i hoped his health may be restored so that he can again labor in his chosen profession. Your friend, Nita. In Memoriam. Whereas our Heavenly Father, in his infinite love and wisdom, has seen fit to remove by death one we loved so well, Mary Magnolia Hiller, we bow in humble submis sion to God's divine will. Mary was gentle, sweet and kind to all. No one knew her but to love her. She bore her last sickness with pa tience, waiting the summons from on high. A precious one from us has gone, . A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in her home, Which never .can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon.His love had given, And though the body moulders here The soul is safe in heaven; Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O'er the spoil! 'that Death- has won We would at this solemn meeting Calmly say Thy. will be done.* Though cast down we are riot for saken, Though afflicted not alone. Thou didst give and thou-hast taken Blessed Lord, Thy will be done. Mary's Aunt. General News -A firm at Graham, N. C., has contracted to. build forty mill houses at Spray, N.
