A CURE FOR DARKNESS If the heart is filled with hatred, There can be no room for love. If your mind is set on vengeance, You can't see the sun above. Life is dark around you, With vengeance angry plot. Madness burns within the soul, Room for happiness, there's not. Tho' love is kind and gentle, It's more powerful by far. Then all the hate and venegeance, On the spirit there's no mar. cure for hatred, - • Is loves firm, gentle hand. It is a magic armour, A strong, embracing band.

The kids have played happily and noisily with their toys all day. Our tummies are all full of Christmas gpodies and now the day has come and gone- the pretty wrappings are torn and only cookie crumbs and candy wrappers remain. But the most real and important gift will linger on-the gift of Love. A baby boy was born long ago and remembered more than any king or emperor in history! The message He brought of lore, understanding, and compassion continues to reign in the hearts of many. Let the gift of Love we share during this season be reflected each day of the year.
