we extend Christmas greetings to our

Christmas typifes all that is best in man
kind. 1t is the elimination of the human
mind throughout the ages dwelling upon
the wonders and mysteries of existence
turning to reverence for God and His
representative who appeared on earth. 1t
expresses the ascendancy of spirit, the
realization of men of their interdependency
and their duty to one another; and so it is
marked by the bestowal of gifts and other
sentiments of benevolence and we'll wish

We desire to express our thanks to the
Kind friends who have given us practical
support, by contributing articles, or rem
dered encouragement during the year. To
