VOLUME 29—NUMBER 35 BY - THE - WAY By DORIS A. SANDERS Of course you don’t, need to be told that The Sun has a different look this week. We think it is much more attrac tive than our Christmas issues of the past, and we hope you agree. The greetings, in this issue were especially selected by the firms whose signatures appear thereon, to wish you a happy holiday season, and to let you know they appreciate your patronage, and your friendship. If you’re too busy at this moment, then hold on to this issue of the Sunpaper; when the Christmas rush is over, take time to look at the beau tiful pictures and read the messages. You are sure to enjoy them. It would not do to let a year pass without thanking you, our readers and customers, for your kindnesses during the past year. We look forward to your continuing friendship in the years to come. On behai' of the entire Sun E mily, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! THE MEANING The following “Meaning of Christmas” was received in an editorial service: It seems that there is nothing one can say of Christmas and its coming that has not been said before, and with the ut most eloquence. That is as it should be. For, over the cen turies the great figures of re ligion, art, music and litera ture have paid Christmas their devoted tributes. Old as the observance is, it is always new. And it always will be, so long as the Christian ideal and the Christmas tradition remain. It is a time of feasting and the giving of gifts. But more than that, for all who profess Christianity, it is a time for reflection and for profound consideration of spiritual things. We live in a troubled age—an age of wars, of bit ter jealousies and emnities, of restless and often violent stir rings among peoples. It is an age in which discouragement and depression come easily. But the meaning of Christmas can give the perspective w r e sorely need. We can believe that the problems of this age will somehow, sometime, pass— while the ideals that Christmas stands for are eternal. Christmas is, above all, for children. Over the centuries, their eyes have sparkled as they gazed upcn the tree, and found their gifts, and looked wdth awe upon the image of the Christ Child. Let us hope every child, wherever he may be, shares in the glories of this coming Christmas. And let us pray that he will live to know a happy and truly peaceful world.
