Because of the Wonderful Event tomorrow commemorates Christmas Day will be the red-letter day of all the year. And this will be true throughout the entire Christian World, for all timejust as it has been for Nineteen Hundred Years. The Christmas Spirit, which pervades the very air on the day of all Jays, is the gracious wine of inspiration. It is the spirit of joy which blesses and brightens our lives and adds to the happiness of all Christendom. After four years of devastating war the Angel of Peace once more broods over a saddened and stricken world. For this great mercy we have cause to be especially harjpy and grateful. We should not only enjoy the holiday season to the full, but also look forward in smiling hope to the coming year. It is in this Christmas Spirit we are speaking to our many friends, and to all who may read these lines this Christmas Eve, 1918. A Merry Christmas to All
