THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
BY Elizabeth Clarke Hardy

Oh. Christmas bells that sweetly
chime,
And Christmas lights that CLEAN
and glow
oh, silent stars that softly shine
Across the world of frost and snow.
Ye fill the world with joy and light,
What message do you bring tonight?
Oh, Christmas trees with twinkling
lights,
And shining branches bending low
With gifts that gladden. all our hearts,
And thoughts of loving kindness
show,
We bear the fruits of pure delight.
What message do you bring tonight?
oh. radiant spirit of the day,
Thy message thrills the whole world
DER,
It fills the world with hope and joy
From zone to zone. from shore to
shore.
IT'S meant for every human heart.
And none need stand alone, apart.
The peace, good will and Christmas
cheer,
The shining lights, the magic tree,
The JOY that thrills the Christian
heart
For all the world is full and free.
The Christmas message from above
To all the world is love. is love.

RIGHT OF ALL TO BE
MERRY

From time immemorlal men
have made merry at the Christ
mas season, even in the midst
of war or pestilence, of nation
al calamities or personal re-
verses.
The unconquerable human
spirit rises above matters of
lesser consequence, to 1evel in
those moments of good cheer
which, after all, are what we
remember best and most fondly
long afterward.
DR.. Ralph w. Sockman said
in a sermon: "It is the eras of
hardship and discomfort which
turn mems thoughts to the
questions of destiny. They dis
cover anew that the calcula-
tons Of science and the plans
of men are, after all, but ships
traversing a sea of mystery.
But the recognition that life is
mysterious does not imply that
it is a muddle. The more deep
ly we look into human nature,
the more we see that the seem
ing EMBELLISHMENTS of the uni
verse to man show it's fitness
for his nature"
One need not be an adherent
of any creed at all, to find COM
fort in that. This earth is not
the center of the universe, nor
indeed is man the favored crea-
ture of this earth. But man
mas attributes which enable
him to make the earth his play
ground and to extend his quest
for beauty, knowledge and in
spiration even out into the
wide spaces of the universe.
Mans life is a good life. This
world is a good world. Ours is
a fortunate land. Nothing thai
has been visited upon us is hall
as harsh as other lands and
other generations here have
suffered. Nothing that hap
pens can possibly be enough to
beat down a true man or wo-
man.
We have undaunted faith Ill
those mighty spiritual and in,
tellectual forces of liberty, self
government, initiative, inven-
tion and courage which have
driven us ever forward. And
so, in all sincerity and in
serene faith, we cry, Merry
Christmas" Gertrude B.
Lane, in Woman's Home Com
panion.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1932-12-23
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

There is only one way to
have Christmas, and that is to
make it for some one else.
The Christmas spirit should
ring in our hearts and find
kindly expression in acts and
words.
Peace on earth, and good
will to men," this typifies the
real Christmas spirit, and what
a joyful thing for the world it
would be if this spirit of good
will could abide with us all
every day of the year.
It has been said that the
richest person was the one who
was fullest of good wishes for
others and who received their
good wishes in return.
So is it that the real Christ
mas does not mean so much the
customary exchange of gifts, as
it does a happy spirit of friend
illness and good will.
Let us forget our worries and
troubles for awhile, at least,
and give cheer and kindly
greeting to each other, with
a sunny smile and a warmly
expressed Merry Christmas to
all!
