To many who read and hear the Christmas
story this year "Peace Earth" will be words
without meaning. There is peace on earth.
There was no peace when these words were first
sung by the Angels the night that the Child OF
Bethlehem born. The crowds which jammed
the inn, and filled each house in the village, until
only a stable manger offered refuge for new
born babe, were evidence of the oppressive tryan-
ny which robbed people of their peace. de-
cree from the dictator had gone out.
There has been no peace on earth since that
first Christmas for always through the years that
same hand of oppression has rested heavily upon
countless millions of men made by God to be Free
The Angels proclaimed not a fact but a hope
q hope to be realized on earth only as all men
everywhere able to live not as slaves but as
children of God. For Christ's peace is not just
for the United States, people of white SKINS
or for those with education in their minds, food
in their stomachs money in their pockets. 1t
is for all men on earth, and he who would find
peace for himself striving to insure it for
Others Those who seek to live in a peace OF iso-
lationism, while others in turmoil of body and
soul, will never share in realizing the hope of
peace on earth God doesn't answer the prayer
"Peace for me-"
Peace is that state in which man, matter
what his nation Color can freely live
with an equal opportunity to his talents and
abilities a child of God. When this right is
denied to men anywhere there can be no peace on
earth.
AS Christians called today to face the
fact that the forces of oppression robbing man
of his right to peace. The people Of England can
have peace long shelters must be their
refuge from destructive bombs, and while their
coasts threatened by invasion. The people of
France can have peace long the Hitler
appointed appeasers force hatred collaboration
with the conquerors who have made them slaves
The people Of Holland and Belgium-violated
impoverished-can have peace while they suf-

"Peace o., Earth =
by the Right Reverend Henry Hobson)

fer under the tyrants heel The people of Poland
the tragic country of broken homes and divided
families, deprived of leaders by mass slaughter
have peace while systematic ravishing de-
stroys life and land The people of Norway-be-
trayed by men who as children they had nurtured
can have peace while they shver through
bitter cold nights robbed of their blankets and
hungry for want Of food stripped from their land.
The millions of China-wandering, starving, his
tory's supreme suferers-can have peace
while bombs fall like rain to wreck their bodies
and blast their homes. The people of Greece
where courage never faltered and vision was ney-
dimmed by appeasement-will never know
peace while forced labor makes slaves of their
bodies and while the invader defles the beauties
of their land The people Of Germany-the older
people distraught and in terror, the younger ones
poisoned from infanthood by falsehood-can new
have peace while the concentration camp closes
its brutal jaws every free spirit and Htlerism
prostitutes truth and justice to make right ap-
pear wrong and wrong appear right. Our own
hberty-loving people can have no lasting peace so
long a treacherous Hitler dominated Japan,
while in the guse of talking peace strikes deadly
blows without warning
People ask me how can give allegiance to the
Prince of Peace and at the time urge that
our country take up arms against the aggressors
of day. My answer is that there can be
peace earth in Hitler dominated world, and
that we face a moment in history when the
of force is the only effective of halting the
onrush of those evil powers which, because they
despise true peace, are seeking to enslave man
kind under brutal system for centuries to
come There times and this Christmas 1941,
is one such time, when desire for peace is de-
termined not by a refusal to take sides in a
fiict which is raging but by willingness sacri-
flee and suffer courageously fight against
the enemy who seeks to destroy all peace. BY
action not evasion have chance to share in
the fulillment of that hope which the Angels held
before all mankind-Peace on Earth.
