CANDLES TONIGHT WILL HELP PERPETUATE CUSTOM.

In commemoration of” the birth of the Christ child and in the expression of joyousness of the Christmas season a number of prominent citizens are asking that candles be placed in the window of every home in the city this evening. This custom of placing candles in the window is one that has grown rapidly in the past few years, and is meeting with general favor wherever it is introduced. In the simple little custom is something that is indescribably beautiful, not only in the lights themselves, “shining forth into the darkness of the night, but in the significance that lies behind the lights—the symbol of the star of Bethlehem that guided the wise men in their search for the Savior, and in the spiritual light that has been shed into the world. In previous years many enthusiastic comments have been heard regarding the observance of the custom, which is one that is altogether worthy of continuance. Put a candle in your window this evening.
