lcivilization and TO a great heritage
in the knowledge of the divine
truths, which in their visions these
wise men saw were 10 be conferred
upon he sons of men.
The star OF Bcthlehem, the Star
in the East. that the wise men Of
old saw. still shines. The wise men
and the wise women and the chill
dren Of today feel IT'S influence, and
behold its increasing glory.
The Star of Bethlehem still shines
in the hearts of millions who this
Christmas day oner their homage
u the Lord and testow Their gifts
in His name. The star of Bethle-
hem still shines in the spirit Of
Christmas which inspires the hui
man souls and human hearts ot
millions all this year. and the graces
of which are exemplified in thci:
lives.
It would have been strange in
deed + the wise men. when they saw
the Star in the East, had not rejoic-
ed with exceeding great joy. Their
vision was not confined to the mo-
ment. but in the light of the Star
they saw the picture of transform
ed world.
1t would be strange indeed if the
millions who see the Star of Beth
ilehem today and feel its Inspiration
in their souls, do not rejoice with
exceeding great Joy. The Christmas
spirit should prevail on this day OF
all days. Friendship and love. be-
lneyolence and charity bring man
kind together in brotherhood. The
gifts that are given and received are
tributes to the power, the grace and
glory Of the Star in the East.
Let las, therefore, be glad and re-
ioice on this Christmas day. Out
Of the seeming little or the album
dance that our Bountiful Benefac-
tor has bestowed upon us, the spirit
of Christmas which shines in tho
soul will direct the heart and the
hand in gifts to others. Thus may
each Christmas be made the best Of
all Christmascs in our lives. And
to the picture which the wise men
saw in their vision may be added
some touches which will increase
! its grandeur. And we will soc and
realize more fully that the Star Of
Bethlehem still shines and is grow
ing brighter.
