The Christmas season brings many
reflections of the past During the
holiday. I took occasion to agnin read
that wonderful story of the birth of
the Savior of the World. The man
ger which sheltered the King, has
a degree of sadness for me but as
•vc follow this most remarkable n f
all rtories .and see how thi- lit*
babe came from this humble birth
and did more to influence gencra-
than any man that has yet
we see in it the great hope
of life.
The doctrine of peace which He
ught has slowly gained root and in
this generation wc see it b«gin to
blossom mare completely. It has
not been dene in .a day, this evolu
tion of the doctrine of peace, but as
we look into 1930 we find the world
thinking more of peace its meaning
and what it shall give to us of the
future.
Bringing this doctrine <fown to
the individual it is well that in en
tering the new year, we acquaint
oi^tselv^, .again with 'the doctrine
thet was first proclaimed to the
world on Christmas morning “Peace
on Earth, Good Will Toward Men."
Looking over the threshold of a
New Year theie loom to the front,
three hundred and sixty-five brand
new days. Days that have never
been run, full twenty-four hour days
filled with opportunity.
Facing this new year, there are a
few who resolve to take great
er advantage of each da/ and when
it has ended feel better satisfied with
themselves and the world.
