cal characters, during the proceed
ing centuries, met their fulfill
ment that night, when "the ever
lasting Light" shone over Bethle-
hem, and the precious promise Of

human ability to measure the bene-
flcent results Of the advent Of Jesus
nineteen centuries ago. M
At Christmas time spiritual
qualities are more clearly recog-
nized and valued, and are ex-
pressed to a greater extent. It Is
not material gifts In themselves
that count, but the thoughtful
ness, the loving-kindness expressed
In little tokens Of love, the desire
to surprise a loved one and To- i'm
part joy. Everyone values these
signs Of love, and seeks to recipro-
cate by rendering In exchange, APP
probation and gratitude. Thus is
the spirit of the Christ expressed
In loving deeds, even as the Apostle
Paul urged upon the Romans: rLet
love be without Discrimination.
Be kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love- (Romans
1879, 10). The true worth. Of

IS Foul Crime

London, Nov. 1S.-(UP)-Eduard Benes, last president of Czecho- slovakia, said today that sthe execu- ton of nine Czech students in Prague by German storm troopers was "a crime that will affect Czech opinion the same as the assassina- ton of Nurse Edith Cavell did Eng land"
 "The reign of terror in Czech- slovakia Is getting more brutal and terrible .. What was supposed to be retaliation for a celebration ot Czech independence day is simply brutal assassination" he said. He said Germany's administration of the protectorate of Bohemia Moravia was becoming more difficult and that Germany's position in the war was deteriorating.
 "Czechosovak lives spiritually and morally: it's only 6 question of time -only short time--until Czecho- slovakia will also be free politically and internationally" he said.
 Jan Garrigue Masaryk, former Czechoslovak minister to Great Bri- tain, said the student demonstra- tionS in Prague last Wednesday, cele- brating the anniversary of Czecho- slovakia's former independence, had not been encouraged by Czech offi- cials in exile because any general uprising now, when the war hadn't actually started, would be 'stupidly premature"
