led the shepherds on the hills of the Holy Land
to a little h'ftuse in Bethlehem and to a realization of

This year the Christmas star shines more brightly
than ever before f r it is a star of hope. Hehirtd us
lie the dark years of depression and defeat, of fear
and foreboding, of economic di.saster and .social dis
order. During the past year we have come up from
the valley of gloom and started once more To scale
the heights toward the light. Tlie star of hope is
leading us on to a richer life, richer in spiritual
values as well as material value.s.
Let us keep our eyes firmly fixed on tiiat star.
