R. A. LONG Choirmon

The emblem of Christmcrs is the sicrr of Bethlehem. And just qs it led the wise men of old time it cqn crnd does leqd men todoy. Its rays ore bright, but to see it one must look up, not down. Forwqrd, not bqck. It rewqrds those who seek it with new hope, new foith, new courqge.

Somehow ot Christmqs time the world inclines its heort to such thoughts os these. Thot is the wonderful thing obout Christmos-this universql mood, this deep ionging for greqter foith, hope, qnd couroge. Todoy the world is hungry for them. Yet, not oll will look of their own cccord for this stor of Bethlehem. Let you qnd me ond oll of us who know its blessed grqce, point the woy. Whot finer gift thon this to q wcriting, groping, bewildered world!

I know full well thot greot stqtesmen crre endeavoring-ond with success-to untangle the snqrls which hqve enmeshed mcrnkind everywhere. They need ond well deserve the cooperqtion of everyone. Thqt, too, is o Christion duty. But my pleo todoy is thot the spirituol side of existence be recognized qs well, lest sight be lost of the greoter thing-the octual brotherhood of mon qnd the fotherhood of God which, qfter qli, olone con bring to fulfillment the hope of the world: "Peoce on eqrth ond good will towcrrd men." Of such, to me, is the spirit o{ Christmcs.

Sincerely,
