ORONO WEEIZLY TIMES, THURSDAY, 'DECEMIBER 14th, 1967 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES (AuthorJzed as Secoïid Cla8s mlPt Office Departmenit, Ottawa) Published every Thursday at the office of publicatiaoe Mwain Street, Phone 109, oJrono, OinLario F~1ahs i -1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Edttor and Manager Now is the season when we sing Peace on earth'. An inséparable part of the aceless Christmas message is the angels' exhortation to the shepherds outside Bethie- hemn; ". . . on earth peace, good wilI toward men." It is a goal which men of goodwill have sought through all the centuries of Christendomi. The quest has been beset by almost constant frust- ration. Wars have grown in scope as the world's population has grown and their destructive ferocity has increased with the increase of man's scientific kniowledge. d Nearly 2,000 years after the first Christmas, when the Son of God came to bring peace to the world, there is no peace. Even though there is no ominous nuclear flash on the horizon, no gunfire sound in the streets, we know peace is stîli not with us. There were wars and rumors of wars, social unrest and injustices of ail kinds when our Lord was born, and this condition ihas mnaintained. There are times when it seemns we must surely conclude "times of trouble" is here to stay. It may be asked-what this has to do with Christmas 1967? Howevcer Christmas is the season of the year whcn our thoughts, by the very nature of the event we celebrate, shouhd cause us to think of peace and how best we can fulfili the mission that the Christ came toearth to perform.ý Too sombre a themne for the Christmas season? We think not. l3efore we becomne immcnrsed in Yuhetide pheas- antries shouhl we not give sincere, thought to the true meaning of Christmas? The least we can do, if we profess tQ be men of goodwill, it to honor the Christmas message andç its Author. When we do this, we will then have every right to rejoice and be glad and join' the heavenly throng, in sirAgjng: "Ghory to God ia the highest, and on earth peàce, goodwvill toward men."
