Editorial Christmas Christmas is many things: show and sleds; sunshine and palm trees; a holiday from work; the light in eyes; the J laughter of friends; the |oy of a feast; a time of sadness for some who remember seasons past Christmas is even more: a time for prayer and worship; a time of meditation about the Story of the birth of a child in a distant land we are unlikely ever to see. Christmas is a combination, of all these things, but we feel that everyone, regardless of religious beliefs, should celebrate the occasion in some Way or another manifesting love for our fellowmen. St Francis expressed this Christmas spirit in his prayer: ’T may not so much Seek to be consoled as to console; to be under-1 stood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are bom to eternal life.** With these thoughts in mind, let us take the time tp give thanks unto Him for His many blessings; let us reaffirm our faith; let us ask for His guidance. As individuals, and as a nation, let us on Christmas day pray for the less fortunate people of the world that they may find new hope; let us pray for peace and that the nations of the earth may dwell in harmony. Pray that we may find this Christmas new vision, courage and inspiration to face each tomorrow. Henry Van Dyke wrote inspiringly on keeping Christmas: “It is a good thing to observe Christmas Day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make merry together is a wise and wholesome custom. It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. \ “Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much your friends love you and ask yourself whether you love them enough; to bear in mind the things that other people have to bear on their hearts; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings, with the gate openare you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas. “Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world—stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death —and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem some 1900 years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas. And if you keep it for a day, why not always?’’ | Wfe leave you with these thoughts and our very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
