SI..;:.. :
As we celebrate Christ's Day,
let us keep strong in our hearts a regard ^
for the feelings... the problems
of others and treat the stranger as a brother.
Such kind consideration
can start a reaction of love which can link
heart-to-heart, nation-to-nation
and make all of God's children brothers. '
Merry Christmas to all.
