WI!AT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME
Editorial In December Christian Herald,
By Daniel A. Polinff
Onegin every 3.G families in Great

New York is full of men and wo-j
men who make their living by writ
ing. Tlieir average income is $2,400 a
year, it has been estimated.

Christmas is a prorni.se,'’the prom
ise—the promi.se fulfilled. The cradle
song of Israel has been ever ‘'Th.-
Messiah^" the hymn of ho}>e. In the
long honllage and through eve>y spi?-
itual wandering the Hebrew :>e >o;e
held fa.st the droam, and mo'e than
di*eam, of One to come who would set
them frL^e and restore the ancient
7lory! To be sure th? hope had Ireen
long deferred and in the fneantime, in
popular thought, temfioru! values had
been .substituted for the “pu’*e gold of
Il. aven”; but He wa.s i;till in the soul
of the race, the “seed” to bruise the
--erpent’s head, the lamb slain from
the fo'ind^ftions of the w'orld, and the
Lion of the tribe of Judah.
And thus He came, God’s son, .the
Saviour of man, the King of Kings.
We never tire of His glory—the shep
herds, the manger, the Star and the
Wise • Men with their gifts. From
childhood to old age we turn again
and again, in a kind of ecstasy, to the
hills of old Judah and listen to the
angels sing, “Glory to God in the
^ highe.st, and on Earth peace, good
will toward men. ’

His eyes see as John saw,

of the eternal years, we claim the im

Christmas is a passion, the passion
—the passion for righteousness, for

T his is Chevrolet Week throughout America.
And the new car that millions have been watch
ing and waiting for—the latest product of the
world’s leading builder of automobiles—is now on
display: the New Chevrolet Six—at a new scale 5f low
prirra, .Front, side. rcaiLzrrinside. outsiidUL—cveridlhiiiit
nboutthnTnenr CMr isjulKAnciid, improvedt excHing:
Longer wheelbase makes it the biggest automobile in
today’s low-price field. The latest principle of car design,
“Acr-Stream”styling, gives it a totally different, ultr*-
modern appearance. The new Fisher bodies are larger,
wider-faultlessly streamlined—swung lower “10 the
.road —and offer the first basic improvement in travel
comfort in over ten years: Fisher No~Draft Ventilm-
tion. Chevrolet performance in every gear is faster,
l^ashier, more brilliant. The time^proved six-cylinder
eng^e is more powerful as well as more economicia!.
Improved Free Wheeling is combined with a “silent
second” Sjmero-Mesh gear-shift. Chevrolet engineers
have devcl<^>ed a remarkable new invehtibh tha' wins
a complete victory over vibration: The Cushion-
Balanced Engine Mounting. And as far as prices
coocemed, several models now fell at th^ lowest
figures in Chevrolet history. Chevrolet is able to do all
thb because Chevrolet has the advantage of bemg the.,
Wioiid’s largest builder of cars for 4 out of the past 6
years. Chevrolet builds cars in greater volume-^ buys
materials in greater quantities—does everything on a
bigger, more economical scale. Hence. Chevrolet is
in a position to provide a better car at a better price
than could possibly issue fircun any other source. The
leader can accomplish what others dare not try!
