Make Life Beautiful -.
By
JAMES SULLIVAN

Will l have a Merry Xmas
this year? That is a question
many people are, asking them
selves. Of course we can have.
Even with the World in con-
fusion as it is. We can be happy
this Christmas if we want to be.
1t is our love for one another
that makes us happy, and our
knowledge of what Christmas
means
History was divided when
Christ was born. Before Christ
all dates BIC. and after AID.
whether some people believe in
Christ or not. We are living after
Christ's birthday. Then as we
celebrate this great day, let us
look to Christ and read in the
Bible of his teachings, which
have never been proved wrong.
But have often do we forget his
teachings? Christ brought faith
a new way of life. Let us resolve
to live his way to the best of
our ability.
Christmas is time when we
should give up all ties and be
with our families. There is moth
ing better. Cancel over night
parties and be at home with the
family, your Christmas can be
merry and joyous.
What has happened to the
thestree t,singin G Carols?
Carolers that used to go through
the streets, singing Carols? We
need to revine our Christmas
May we never slip away from the
real meaning of Christmas.
It's Christ birthday so go to
church and worship in your own
way, and don't forget give Christ
a birthday present. It's His birth
day not ours.
Now | want to wish you all
a Merry Xmas.

signal weakness In the lower echelons it resulted in too many weak and struggling churches many unable to serve their people well because of their scanty resources and limited memberships. At the higher echeons, the churches were handicapped be- cause their lack of unity deprived them of the pow erful voice that single Protestant Church might have and the considerable impact it could make on tine life of the nation
 Repeated efforts to establish an organic unity among the Protestant churches have failed, except for lesser mergers such that of scattered Methodist groups Still another effort is under way at Green wich, Conn.,, with large church groups explor- ling the possibilities and planning carefully.
 Church union in these terms would be a long time reaching frution at best But it probably would be a construction and valuable contribution to the religious and moral life of the country The decisive force of sectaranism has been an expression of the most extreme aspect of Protestantism gorifcation of the theological freedom of the individual to such
 point that the strength and influence of the church are impaired. Perhaps by now have come to turning point.
