PERTH AMBOY EVENING NEWS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1912. REFLECTIONS By WILLIAM N. BAWDEN, THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. The old Christmas ditty runs: "Christmas comes but once a year, But when it comes it brings good cheer." But does it? It may for those in comfortable circumstances, have wherewithal to clothe and teed' themselves; inaltho, even for such it may bring peace and joy, because of some trouble in the life. It scarcely will for those living on the ragged edge of poverty, who live from hand to mouth and know not what a day may bring forth; altho even for such it may bring much of peace if there is a care free spirit.

Nevertheless, altho contentment of mind solely upon outward circumstances, the latter so largely influences the former, even against our best intentions, as to handicap most of us seriously. Statistics reveal to us that ten million of the population of these United States live either in absolute poverty, or so near to it that the loss of a day's work would plunge them into it. That means that there something for the other ninety lion to do, of us are to have at least the outward concomitants of lof good cheer. Accepting the population Perth Amboy as 35,000 in round numbers, and observing the same proportion, it means that in our own there are at least 3,500 men, women and children who are not likely to enjoy a Merry Christmas unless the remaining 31,500 of us "get busy." The newspapers of some cities are publishing lists of worthy familles, relating the circumstances of each, without names and addresses, of course, offering to act as the go-between for any who wish to contribute toward a Merry Christmas for any individual family. But there are agencies in our city who will see to it that any amounts contributed are used in this direction, or who will bring those who desire it into personal touch with some family to whom they might like to serve as Santa Claus.

Our Salvation Army, for instance, is collecting funds to furnish Christmas dinners to many worthy families of whom they have knowledge. Miss Widerstrom always has a list on hand those who are both needy and worthy. The minister of almost any church also has such knowledge, which he would gladly share with those benevolently minded. Some of our lodges, moreover, seek to address themselves to such need. So if the reader is included among the 31,500 referred to above, and is actuated by the Christmas spirit toward the other 3,500, there are ways and means at hand.

He in whose honor the day is celebrated once said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." There is no better time than now to know this by experience. SCOUTS FAINT AT A DRILL. Poor Ventilation Cause of Boys Being Overcome at Review. Jersey City, N. Dec.
