Christmas Message
BY NJ. N. DUNCAN

ny VI. u. ~ MAN
& Peace on Earth - but
there is no peace, Good VIII
3 towards men - but ii is
difficult to have good will
towards all men in times
ike these of strife and
chaos. Beyond the bleeding
broken bodies of our men
husbands. son, brothers we
sense our enemies lurking
upon the horizon. Our enc
mics think not of Peace or
Good VIII. Their souls and
spirits have been enslaved
by false gods - greed and
power-lust for human blood.
But through the mists of
war and the smoke of bat
tie, we again visualize the
star in the seat - the light
that leads US on. We see
again the Bright Star, the
Wise men, the Shepherds,
the Babe of Bethlehem.
Again we are reminded
that each man, regardless
of race, color OF creed ia
endowed with diknity and
individuality. The man of
Galilee. the Christ taught of
the universal Fatherhood
of God - of the brother
hood and spiritual equality
of all men.
At this Christmas season,
as we join hands around the
world with these who have
been similarly enlightened,
may we hope and pray that
the sacrifice and devotion of
our men in arms, will not
have been in, vain. From
this grim alchemy may we
cathc a vision of brighter
and more cheerful world =
without prejudice, discrim-
nation, as We now prepare
for the unimpeded growth
of the brotherhood in the
hearts of men.
Be of Good Cheer, child
rem of men fight the
good fight of Faith - Our
cause is just. When our
triumph is complete, we
shall have achieved the
great reality of "Peace on
Earth and Good Will To-
ward Men"
