'Twenty centuries ago a brightly-shining star led the shepherds on the hills of the Holy Land io a little house in Bethlehem and to a realization of a new .spiritual power that had come into the world. That star still sheds its light over the world and at this time of year man lifts his eyes to it and the glow from it kindles in his heart that fire iwhich we know as the Christmas spirit. This year the Christmas star shines more brightly for it is a star of hope. Let us keep our eyes firmly fixed on that star, Let the glow from it warm our hearts with the true spirit of Chrisj^as^ with Charity, with kindness, with friendliness, wth forgiveness, with forgetfulness for the pa.st and hope for the future. ' Down through the ages the function of bringinfiT “tiding” has developed upon that institution^ known as thfe newspaper. And no newspaper performs that function more "faithfully than does the Home Town Newspaper in a (jommunity like this of homes ancl home-loving people. . . . So, what better messenger, then, than THE CHRONICLE to shy to you at* this time of year, “Behold, I bring you geiod tidings”—dean, constructive, wholei^ome news to our large and appredated family of read€~s—'tidings of peace and prosperity yet to be. ' ■ ct.'' ' In this spirit and in appreciation of the tokens of friendship from its readers and advertisers, THE CHRONICLE extends to all the compliments and felicitations of the season and wishes folr you a Happy Christmas and a joyous and prosperous Nbw Year.
