THE SPIRIT OF LOVE
As a resident of Bellwood, I was
given the privilege of looking in on
the splendid work of the Excelsior
Fire Company and ladies of the
Auxiliary, who of course, are a part
of the organization.
Fore (more than a month prior to
Christmas season the people of the
community, on the invitation of the
Firemen, brought toys of every
conceivable type that had in other
years boon the gift of Santa Claus
in the various homes.
Same of these gifts were worn
and broken, all of them needing to
bo rejuvenated. Broken ones were
repaired, all were painted and striped by the artists of the company,
until every thing shone la brilliant
colors .
One hundred dolls were reproduced with smiling flecea, aad dressed
by the ladies, who also filled a 1st
of stockings with cakes, candy, fruit
nuts and small toys. The ladies also
furnished a schedule for the delivery by Santa Clause, the night before Christmas, to the delight of
the Utile folks in the homos to
Iwhich they wore intended to go.
All    this    was done with    glad
hearts, fully  anticipating the hap-
Ipiassa aad Jo* least sj_fc waast
bring to the children of the  community.
Why did the men and ladies do
this wonderful thing? There is but
one answer—t'was their love for the
little one, a love touching the love
of the Infinite.
May this spirit of love stay with
them all through the coming years
—stay with the firemen in their
noble duties, calling them, day aad
night, la stoqm and sunshine. They
are always ready for action,' these
cheerful laddies of Excelsior Fire
Company of Bellwood.
