Bradley beam., 1944-12-30

Christmas Day at Bradley Field was ushered in by the awe-inspir- ing ceremonies of the Midnight Solemn High Mass. Promptly. at 240O, Bernard Mullins of Radio Station WTIC, Hartford, Conn, began his beautiful commentary of the festivities. This narration and description, blending with both the action of the Mass and the choral offerings of St. Justin's male choir of Hartford, was superbly accom- plished. Radio listeners could easily visualize and understand details because of his clear exposition.
 AS never before the Base Chapel was filled to overfowing. Army personnel, their friends and fami- lies, found the midnight devotion stimulating and impressive.
 This years decorations seemed more beautiful than in former years because of the magnificent back-drop and the Crucifixion can- vas which Cpl. Claude Jackson, formerly of this Base, painted for the Chapel. The Crib Scene is also a fine specimen of Cpl. Jackson's handiwork. Both of these are ac- quisitions of the past year and en- hance the artistic endeavors of the Hho xo1o;1oSo ic4o ,+c
 The Rev. John s. Kennedy's ser mon dealt with two curious or false notions which have somehow at- tached themselves to Christmas:
 "The first is that Christmas is chiefly, if not exclusively, child's festival, that it means most to a child, that for an adult it has not the life, and loveliness it has for a child. The second is that Christmas is a home fes- tival, that outside the home it loses warmth and wonder, that to him away from home it can say very little because he is out of it's frame of reference.
 Rev. Kennedy in his peroration reconciled these ideas by saying:
 Christmas is a children's fes- tival only in the sense that our Saviour bids us be as little chil- dren: guileless, trusting, loving. Christmas is home festival only in the sense that it opens again the doors of our heavenly home and floods the world with the radiance thereof. Whatever our age, we can, by Gods grace, be- come in mind and heart like little children. Wherever we are, we can look homeward and head homeward."
