Peace on Earth" at Christmas
By THE REV. FORREST B. SHA
Congregational Church

The Christmas season is with us again, and with it the world
is at peace. For the past four years, the music of the Christmas
carols and their message of peace and good will was submerged
the spell of the joyous Christmas spirit and the message of good
will toward all men comes ringing down the long stretch of the
years.
This year the message of the Christmas bells is not distorted
by the devastation of gunfire and bombing, for we know of
thousands OF boys coming home on every ship, train and plane.
Where silent apprehension reigned a year ago in so many of our
American homes, today we are aware of joy and happiness.
This year will be marked with the old-time spirit of Yuletide
joy and the homes of our land where boys have returned will
see the old time Christmas in full swing. Many a home will still
be marked with the service flag. and for those boys who cannot
be with their families, we pray for their well being and look
forward to the time when they can once again be in the family
circle.
While We gather about our family firesides, to enjoy the
glorious fellowship of the occasion, let us not forget the homes
where Christmas will be just another day.
For many an American home there will always be an absent
member and our hearts go out to them at this season of the
year, asking God to find a way to bless those homes. We can do
nothing less than be mindful of the boys who gave all they had
to give to keep the rich traditions of our American home life
intact.
Let us be thankful for all those rich blessings that have come
to us down through the years-the things we believe in. the
things we fight for. Let us get down to the business of proving
to the world that We, as a free and peaceful loving people. do
have something to offer the world. Let us move on to the task
OF making the song the angels sang a reality in thought, word.
and practice. At this Christmas time let us sing once again
Peace on earth and good will toward all men," And NAV il
be so.
