Triumphing over all the pain and suffering, greed and brutal- ity of the centuries, Christmas still stands as the symbol of hu- man kindliness and abiding faith in the ultimate triumph of good. | Best of 'all, Christmas is a personal Feast. Its spirit enters every home. Its teachings in- spire courage and fidelity. - The blessings of Christmas cannot be bought. They are not dependent upon wealth, Humble homes, where simple living and daily industry are the rule of life, find happiest expression in the joys of Christmas. Those joys are so simple and so close at hand, for they are the joys of the heart. They are the Joys of friendship. Never has -the arrival of Christmas been more timely. It may not be "Merry." It ought to be thankful. It points the way to lasting peace. Force and destruction may seem to triumph for a time, but the type of "NEW WORLD" in ~ which we long to live can only . be built by kindly co-operation. It is not easy to keep the Christmas spirit as the-guiding power in the rough and tumble of daily life. Sometimes our an- ger at injustice and greed flames out in whirlwind destruction of existing conditions. In such a time we are living now. But the struggle cannot last forever; and the day must come when our cause will win, because it is founded on kindly co-operation and justice for all. ~The Babe of Bethlehem, the Youth who was subject to His parents; the Young Man who drove the money-changers from the Temple: the kindly Teacher' who went about doing good; the Divine Martyr who suffered on the cross for His principles; the Divine Son, who conquored death and lives in the hearts of His followers. He is cur great Iixample and Inspiration. Cv Ky or ert ~ The Editor and of the 3 PORT PERRY STAR Wish You Every Happiness for Christmas and Health and Prosperity for the New Year
