CHRISTMAS Is THE TINE FOR HAPPINESS.

Christmas rolls round again. Another years has gone.
And at this time of the year we are apt to take stock of our
selves and see where we are going and why; sometimes view
the progress or lack Of progress in the year past and view
possibilities for the future. 1t is a time when we should take
stock Of ourselves and plan for a bright future. The higher
we aim, the higher we are likely to go. BY hitching our
wagon to a star perhaps we can at least reach the outer fllngc
Of ole tiny little cloud-a cloud, perhaps of happiness. And
after alLregardless of how much success we have, happiness
is all that counts. Happiness and peace and contentment.
This brings us to the message of Christmas. Christmas is a
time for happiness and peace and contentment. 1t is on this
day that we are celebratig the birthday OF the prince of peace.
As we plan our Christmas festivities it is not amiss that we
stop long enough to review in our minds the details of his
lowly birth and pause long enough to be humble. Then, per-
haps, we can better say merry Christmas, and a happy pros
porous New Year"

to Lawson Little, San Francisco

Editors voting for the purly CAL
