The Approaching Holidays.
About this time every year the peo
ple commence talking about Christ
mas and the gifts they will bestow.
It is but little trouble for some to
make selections: others find it very
difficult to select just what they want
By looking through the show windows,
it does seem like the desires of both
the young and the old could be satis
fied, as many handsome and useful ar
ticles, suitable for gifts, are on dis
play. A mistake is often made in
buying for children. Instead of se
lecting articles that are soon broken
and thrown into junk piles, buy pres
ents that are useful, something they
can keep nice books and articles that
will not break from a slight fall.
Another thing should, be strictly
kept inviolable. Do not tell a child
that old Santa is going to bring it
certain things, and then have the
child disappointed when the time
comes Stick to your promises, there
by making the little ones happy.
Columbia, like all towns of its size,
has within its borders poor children,
some of them orphans, hence arrange
ments should be made in due time, by
the five Churches, whereby every
child wjthin the corporate limits
should be remembered. Christian
talks and Christian promises do but
little good without action. Help the
poor and when you lie down at night
your conscious will be at ease and you
will be blessed with peaceful sleep.
We have never known a man who
practiced real charity giving to the
worthy unfortunate, whom God did
not prosper.
