the longest night; the end and
the beginning; the black of
ieafless landscape, and the
Of blighting frost; the
cold of winter and the warmth
of blessed belief in eternity.
December is the month for
happiness, for merriment, for
family reunions, for Christ
mas shopping, and for singing
Christmas Carols. You have
heard the Christmas story
over and over again. 1t never
grows old.
For those who would disre-
gard traditions, the great
deeds of the great men who
built the Republic of the Uni
ted States, they have forgotten
that the story of the birth of
our Lord has been kept alive
by those who believed in ira
.ditions, and in telling the old,
old story.
Those who cry out for chan
.ge, change, have forgotten
that the greatest story ever
told has not changed. F'unda-
mental truths never change.
Hold on to your traditions.
