To the Children of Skagway:? On the
evening of Holy Innocents, Thursday,
December 28, at St. Savior's church at
7:30 p. m., will stand with huge branch
es of light and beauty a Christmas tree.
This pretty emblem will have its own
yearly story to tell you, of the truth
and childhood of your blessed Lord and
Master, who became a little child that
you might grow from buds into great
branches of th9 one Great Tree of Life
Eternal.
This tree also has to tell you of the
greater blessings which are laid up in
store for all those who love our Lord;
blessings far greater than these little
tokens of love which we have to offer
you; and also has to teach you by the
gifts which lie at its roots that every
one of you should offer yourselves as a
gift to your heavenly Father and cling
to His strong roots, which grow in the
heavenly places and in even a more
beautiful world thaa this.
A merry Christmas and a bright and
joyous Now Year to you and yours.
