Mistletoe Has KnouUn
Long, EUentful History

Of all the Christmas greens, the
bestowed, probably, is the mistle-
toe, which likewise has experienced
the most eventful history of all
plants.
In the days of pagan worship in
England the mistletoe was chosen
for great honors, being cut from it's
host, the oak tree, with golden axes.
1t was gathered for the people and
bit given to each person to ward
off illness.
But the plant paid dear for these
honors for when the Christian church
was established it was not allowed
in any church because of its pagan
association, and it is told that
preachers even would stop in their
sermons if tiny bit were spied and
the service waited until the offending
bit of green was removed.
In later centuries it became again
the symbol of peace and friendship
and has since been tackled on the
doorway as token of friendly greet
ing.

This is a sad Christmas in thou
sands of American homes where sud-
den-striking war already has taken its
toll.
Specifically, 1t may seem bitterly
ironical this year, with the whole
world plunged in horrible, destructive
war to celebrate the birthday of the
gentle Christ who preached the
brotherhood of all mankind. But in the
longer view, Christmas takes on
deeper significance than ever before.
Christianity has made possible the
development of our civilization and our
liberty and democratic institutions
and it is the fundamentals of Christi
anity along with liberty and democ-
racy which are challenged today on a
worldwide scale by the barbaric phil
osophy that "might makes right"
Peace on earth, goodwill toward
men, the brotherhood of all man.
kind-These must be our ultimate wal
aims, the things for which we fight
If we fight only to revenge treacherous
attacks, only to achieve narrow
selfish security for ourselves, then we
fight in vain, and the peace we win
will be temporary one. World peace
cannot be achieved in spirit of hate
and revenge, but only through appli-
cation of ChriStianity's teachings.
This time we must win all of the
war to end all wars, not just that part
of it fought on the battlefelds. To
do aught else is to break faith with
those men who died at Pearl Harbor
to make their sacrifices vain and
tragic.
And so, to all who read this al
Christmas, courage and strength to
strike hatred and revenge from oul
hearts and to dedicate ourselves to the
higher and greater goal.

This week I am going to let a
student who used to work as cashier
in a small theater give her side of
a picture that most of us never see
from that angle.
"The children come at 1 o'clock on
Saturday and stay until S, no matter
what picture is showing. remember
one day car drove up and a father
got out, leading two children aged
five and SIX He asked if would look
after them and call him when the
show was over. I told him it was a
long show, but he said, All the better,
as he wanted some peace and quiet
Every soon the assistant manager
rushed out and asked me to look after
child who couldn't stop crying. Sure
enough, it was the younger of the two
theatre waits. The roar of the planes
in Power Dive had terrified her. I
washed her face with cold water, and
at her insistent plea called her home,
only to get no answer. The child
cried harder. I had to return to the
box Office, so bought her some candy
from the look Of her it should have
been vegetables, and took her with
me into the box. sat her on a stool
and let her use my punch.
"The father arrived half an hour
late, and if looks could do any damage
he should have felt a shrinking SEN
sation. There they were, four and a
half hours in close air and tense sur
roundings, both worn out completely.
Sometimes I felt like refusing admit
tance to these tiny tots who could
hardly reach up to the ticket window"
This story speaks for itself. What
a pity that so many fathers know so
little about children that they have
no idea how to enjoy them. How
much more pleasant their evening meal
might have been II he'd driven them
to the country and let them frolic in
the open air.
