Our Qreetinq
In the Spirit cj Christmas
(CHRISTMAS DAY brings us the consciousness that
j whatever our personal animosities may be, what
ever the strife between nations merely neigh
borhood quarrels greatly magnified there is this sub
lime occasion devoted to peace and goodwill. Its spirit
is the lamp which lights to higher life; its influence largely
supports civilization and prevents a lapse into barbarity.
Christmas spirit means Christian spirit. In testing its
effect, one has only to reflect upon the positions of
races, the most advanced being those of Christendom.
China, the oldest entity among peoples, has an admi
rable occasion upon which the citizens strive to liquidate
all their debts. It is a national pay-up day, and in spirit
somewhat resembles our Christmas. In Japan they
have an annual event somewhat like our New Year’s
celebration, during which the people go about express
ing good will and promoting good cheer. But Christ
mas has a more elevating effect than either, in that it
not only typifies peace and good will, but carries the
essence of unselfishness and pure love, the most com
mon expression being the bestowal of gifts. When the
Christmas influence gains to the point that its spirit
shall permeate the affairs of everv day in the year, the
millennium will have arrived.
We have this day, and if we mar not its ideal its leaven
will produce other days of the kind. In the making
of a newspaper we have an opportunity to view the
many forces operating upon the character of humanity.
We see the good and'bad, the sincere and insincere,
the selfish and unselfish. We believe the leaven of
good is more active than that of the opposed forces. If
we have been able to assist the right, much has been
due to your co-operation and we earnestly solicit a con
tinuation of the same. Our Christmas greeting to you
is one of optimism, good cheer and hcartv good wishes.
