Grewenow Chaplain Corps, USNR “Merry Christmas!” It sounds a bit empty at first. A Merry Chri^mas this year when for millions of men thousands of miles separate them from their loved ones?—A Merry Christmas? Tarawa, Arawe, the hills near Rome! Yet, if we can’t hear the joy in it, we have missed its meaning. Perhaps this year above other years we shall come a little nearer to the real meaning of Christmas. We shall not have the gayety, the tinselled frothiness that may have surrounded our other Christmases, but its message of joy is ours to be had. For it is the bringing of joy to the human heart that constitutes its essen tial message. It is a “Merry Christmas,” a happy, blessed Christmas no matter what the circumstances that surround us. Christmas is the bringing of the news of a Savior, a recon ciliation, a peace between God and man. All the woes in the world cannot stop the joy that comes from those good tidings. We can manage a Christmas that is minus many little things. But this message “Unto you is bom a Savior” is essential to real Christmas joy, and nothing can keep that from us. Take the time in the next few days to take that message into your heart and yours will be a “Merry Christmas.” Sunday Divine Services Protestant 1000 Memorial TT»11 Roman Catholic 0615 Gerrard TTnll 1000 Hill Music Hall Jewish 1000 Graham Memorial * « * Chaplain’s Office Hours: Daily, 0830-1700; Monday and Wednesday, 0830-1800.

Thought War Was Over A sergeant and a private were courtmar- tialed for kicking a colonel in the backside as he was entering an auto. The sergeant, asked for an explanation, said the colonel had step ped on his very sensitive com and that he had lost control over his reflexes kicking the colonel unintentionally. The board was impressed by the story. The private who had run from a nearby building to boot the colonel, was then called on to explain: “I’ve got no excuse,” he admitted, “When I saw what the sergeant had done, I thought the war was over!” SOMEHOW, LACS DOESK'r SO AUOtJE THIS CHRISTMAS i J li A NEAT FACKMB FOR ALL you a.
