Our sabbath study: Greetings to you, loyal friend of Gods Book! -- You who would cleanse yourself from the corrupting customs of the heathen. Unto you are here poured out the purging tidings of the truth of gifts! May they make room in your heart for the blessings now waiting at your door to fill your heart, your life, your home, as the new years wait to take the place of the old. Indeed, may every day find your life abounding with health, happiness, prosperity, and all good things for you and yours, while each of you rejoice in the glorious prospect of the soon-coming Kingdom, and make ready for a home there. Some books are much bigger And say more, its true; But none could WISH MORE Than this WISHES YOU -- Showers of blessings At once and for long, To revive and keep you Wise, happy, and strong, Today, tomorrow -- eternity through!The whole Christmas institution consequently being but a species of heathen worship that is demoralizing the nations, the Lords servants will invariably shun the exchanging of Christmas gifts, shun the evil attendant upon the occasions pretentious spirit and spurious humanitarianism.
