verse where Jesus was forseen as
a Saviour and a lover of man.
Next we notice the End chapter

possible with Cod. So the great
est day the world ever known was
the day in which Jesus was born.
Everyone should pause and medi-
tate for a moments and think of
that most glorious moment and
repeat those old familiar lines,
quote: Though many dangers, tolls
and snares I have all ready come.
We can then say with all our
hearts, Glory to God in the High
est and on Earth Peace and Good
Will To All Men. Let us strive to
better act, better think.--..we will
then be in a position to treat
