Christmas/ 1
Christma&V'Comes v each year with |
the samp glad message* for one and*
all. It singles out neither its favors.,
Its giving is universal; it’ plays no'
l-special favorites, but carries the
same joy to all. In every land the
bells ring out with the same joyous
sound, and the music of the carols
has the same happy Ting.
Christmas sends its joy into the
homes of rich and poor, and its beau
tiful spirit fills every heart with the
same incomparable happiness. All
the disappointments and cares of the
year are forgotten in the truth and
beauty of the message it brings; for
we feel and know the Star is still
shining, and that all is well with
mankind because God lives.
The love and good will and hap
piness that covers the earth at this
season gives us the happy-assurance
that He who came into the world on
that first Christmas is still with us
until the end. So with the perfect)
confidence of little chlidren we par-1
take of the happiness that Christmas i
so generously bestows, and renew!
our faith and trust and youth each!
