cheer for the children and the
poor. Then let us be makers of
sunshine in our own and the
homes of the less fortunate
about us. Like all other good
deeds, the doer shares the bless
ing. It makes his heart bigger
and his soul-life more active.
We have all much to be thank
ful for and the Independent i
appreciative of its friends and
for many evidences of support
and kindness in the year closing.
