WILMETTE LIFE 61 Christmas and Wilmette By THOMAS H. WEST Wilmette is a village of homes, a community of home lovers and therefore a place where childhood is nurtured and cherished. What message can Christmas - the Children's Festival, centered as it is around the story of the Christ· Child- bring to such a community? What, but the angel-old tune of IA>ve, which we must teach our children that it may set ringing in their hearts the Christmas Bells of the Soul. One of these heart-chimes is named Peace; one is Good-will; one is Faith; one is Hope. Play them together and they mysteriously melt into one strain-the . sweet old song that God is Love. If we set not these heart-chimes a-ringing during childhood, they will be too often silent and unheard in later life. May these chimes be set a-playing in every heartyoung and old~in Wilmette this Christmas! Come to Church with your family. Do not send the children alone. It will mean much to all of you. Congregational Church Vere V. Loper, Minister Elizabeth B.
