u It 5fc. The time is December, 1967. All thoughts turn toward Christmas. But just what does Christmas mean to us - to the world? Think of the world as it is today. Think of it in refer ence to you as a person. Now try to correlate these thoughts with Christmas. Are you torn by the thought of war and peace? Does the War in Vietnam discredit your belief in the lines, “Peace on Earth, good will to men?’’ What of religion? Does the “God Is Dead” concept lead to more commercialization of Christmas? Concrete on politics. Does “Black Consciousness” add or detract from the idea of Santa Claus? Or, is Christmas still the time of praise and prayer to the Lord — the time of recalling the story of the birth of Christ? WHAT DOES CHRISTMAS MEAN TO YOU ? ? ? On behalf of the “Spelman Spotlight” may I wish each of you a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy NEW YEAR. Janice Holloway, Editor * : ' ' : ■ ■■■:-
