Once a year this opportunity of rendering Christian help to children is given to the Guardian readers. Human beings often commit. sins of omission through inability to see their duty, but in this case the path oi duty is clear, and without the slightest dis- comfort anybody can become a Santa-Pal and help make some lit- tle one happy on Christmas Day.
Attention is directed to the fact that the list oi needy children this year is open only to (hose of ten years or age and tinder, and that candy and toys are the bnly arti- cles to be distributed.
